So.... a few weeks ago, I noticed a deal on Buy Club (kind of like Groupon for Geneva with a focus on things expats would like) for a race car driving experience in the French Alps with four exotic cars. Knowing how much J likes cars, this one was a no-brainer. I purchased the deal and made our appointment. The track was about 1hour and 45 minutes away from our apartment so we decided to stay at a hotel the night before and Friday night after work, we were on our way.
Our hotel was simple and clean - we had an extra bed for S, which she liked, and a good breakfast in the morning. We were then off to Circuit du Lacquais. We were greeted upon arrival and J was pointed to where he needed to go. After about 5 minutes, they came and got J for an orientation lap on the track. S was so excited - she kept running around clapping that Daddy was driving on this really cool, twisty, long track. She wanted me to pick her up each time we could see him :).
Then the real fun started! After just a few minutes of waiting, J found his helmet and was off. The first car was an Aston Martin, the second a Lamborghini, the third a Ferrari, and the fourth a Porsche. There was just a short way between each car, so S and I stood attentively and watched. J enjoyed each car for different reasons and was glad that we chose the package where he drove all 4 cars. We captured a few good pictures, J was given a diploma certifying his driving ability, and we headed home.
What a great experience all around!
On a side note, we have already purchased a few other things from Buy Club including award winning wines and a voucher for a steak restaurant that we will be using for our anniversary dinner next month. I am anxiously awaiting a hot air balloon ride voucher as I know they have done this previously and I really want to do one while we are here.
