For herself, yes or no? The instructor always beside ya is a major turn off I think.

I did the 911 experience recently and the single seater experience a number of years back.
Both good to be honest.
Some will say that there is much better value to be had in the UK which is probably true so if possible to tie in with a trip over, that could be an option but mondello was perfectly good.
Worth mentioning that the Porsche 911 has standard interior with standard seats and seat belts and no roll cage which surprised me alot.

The instructor adds to the experience , they keep you on the correct line and have you on the power much earlier and on the brakes much later than you would be if you were out by yourself .

I've done the Porsche and the single seaters , I preferred the single seaters but I enjoyed the Porsche as I've never driven one before . They do the bmws now , that'll be next on the list . Haven't been to the rally school .

How much value would you get out of driving a Porsche around Mondello with say, 3 laps prep and 4 laps in the 911? It would seem like €170 down the drain if you were in and out in like an hour?

Might ask the GF for something for the birthday in February.

Anyone know if the Porcshes are auto though?

She was looking at a Ferrari "experience" for me a while back for over €100, 15 minutes in a 360 on the M50 in Dublin or some ****e, over 28+ etc blah blah blah.

If you don't get your moneys worth I'm better off spending the money on fuel, and driving the Golf in sport mode down to Cars and Coffee :P

There is also Nutts Corner in Antrim if you are willing to travel, i have never done it but might be better value if you look into it.

Did the Mondello experience few years ago with my brother. Two different instructors and we were on the track at the same time. Night and day difference in the two instructors, mine was egging me on to push the car to the limits, particularly on bkind corners etc getting me to push beyond what I was comfortable with and having the car slide a bit - it was great, I really enjoyed it. Brother had a lesser instructor who didn’t really talk or interact much, looking at the in car video afterwards I got a much better deal.
We also did the Rally school in Monaghan, I probably enjoyed it a bit more as I got to live out my boyhood dream of driving a rally MK2 escort with vengeance. He instructs there were all really enthusiastic, on many occasions he had to hold me back.
