World Class Driving -- what an experience....
Well, World Class Driving (WCD) started their country wide tour here in Charlotte, NC. What is WCD you say? For 800 bones you get a day of driving some of the most intense cars available ... Ferrari F430 F1, Lamborghini Gallardo E-gear, Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Bentley GT, Corvette Z06, and Ferrari 612 (there was supposed to be a Ford GT but 3 days ago it was wrecked by one of the staff members, so the 612 became the substitute). You may have seen their full page ad in Road & Track.

They also had a Rolls Royce Phantom for quick stops to Starbucks - talk about luxurious.

The day was absolutely perfect - perfect 75 degrees, perfect sun, perfect everything. It was hosted at the Ballantyne Resort Hotel (where all of the golfers will be staying next week for the Wachovia Golf Tournament) and started with breakfast and an introduction to the day's activities. Everyone received a polo shirt and baseball hat commemorating the event.

Then everyone was given his/her schedule of drives for the day - you get to drive each car for approximately 30 miles (about a 25 minute drive). The route included 2-lane city roads, a winding country road, and lastly, a stretch of interstate highway.

Every car was phenomenal, but the entire group seemed to agree that for the "sports cars" the Lambo Gallardo and Ferrari F430 stole the show (with a slight advantage given to the F-car) and without question, the unanimous favorite of the GTs was the Bentley.

WCD has planned these events across the country and I would highly recommend checking it out - it is an incredible experience. How many times can you say, "Yeah, today I drove a Lambo, 2 Ferraris, an Aston Martin, a Bentley, and a Z06!"
