Ben Elliott Racing Ltd has been given exclusive access to the Ascari race track in Spain for 2 days to run track days.

The dates are 28th and 29th Sept 2008. Each day will be run as open pit lane with no more than 25 cars on the 3 mile track at one time.
Ascari is a private site and only invited guests make it past the security gates. As an invited guest you can have a hosted tour of their amazing underground air conditioned parking areas. Although cars change throughout the year, expect to see many of the world’s most exotic cars, including famous race cars and even F1.

Price for each day is £499 or if you book both days you will receive a £98 discount and pay £900.

EXTRAS
Ben Elliott can send you details about getting your car shipped out there so you can fly, or you can choose to make a ‘road trip’ and take the details about ferry crossings and cross country driving. If you choose not to take your car you can hire one from the Ascari fleet- Lotus Elise, BMW touring cars, Radical SR3 and Reynard’s are all available for hire at an extra cost.
Passenger rides, karting and skid training can also be organised on site at an extra charge.
You will be able to sample the local cuisine in their 5 star club house on site and have a dip in the pool! Instructors will be on hand to offer guidance and advice on your driving technique. (All at an extra cost).

Booking forms are available on their website www.benelliottracing.com.

Fantastic that somebodys taking this on, but I have to say, suddenly my £150-£200 doesn't seem too bad eh?? Although not sure as to how many are invited to their day so if it's limited to 50 cars then it's the same deal.

Great track to go on though (I've been there already, but only in an Auris with work, and not driven in anger!!)

Still on the horizon for the future once I've arranged a few more Euro TD's and might even buy into this one (if I can find out a cost to hire one of their cars as I'm not likely to be diving my MX5 round there!!)

Ascari I'd love too ...but sadly way, way too rich for me this year

£900 for two days! bloody bargain! I think I'll take the option to have the VX shipped out and let the plane take the strain aswell. At that price I'd be stupid not to. whoops...got to go the wifes coming!!!

My Boss spent a week at the Ascari Race Resort last month. He said its a fantastic track that combines loads for different corners and sections. It rained most of the week though and the 599 GTB he drove was twitchy as fook! Good luck and ave fun
