How to ruin a Lamborghini Gallardo driving experience... he did tell me to change down a gear!

How to ruin a Lamborghini Gallardo driving experience, the instructor was a nob!
He “did” tell me to change down a gear at 2:55 seconds. Knob!.

[@CaptJofaz]

The instructors at these things all think they're gods gift to driving. When all they actually are there for is to make sure you baby the car and don't use anywhere near its full performance

[@tledger1716]

My exact thoughts they never let them rev out fully so irritating to watch and I'd imagine it's a bad experience for the driver

[@PetrolheadDan14]

Most are yes, I remember doing a experience day a few years ago and in the 911 rs and a Ferrari california I was constantly being told to short shift etc however when I jumped in the hurican the guy just kept pushing me to go faster, had it sideways (under control) a few times and he just get telling me to push the car 😂

[@gordonjeffrey231076]

Instructor-"Down a gear". He goes down a gear. "Don't touch the gears, I never said down a gear". Yes you did you prick.

[@michael1]

Yeah but Peter Pissquick had already changed down before the instructor told him to. Then he changes down again. So he changes down 2 gears and gets huge overrev.

[@blank-dr2kx]

The moment someone says you’re just not listening to me are you, I’d put my foot down and drive the car how I want I paid for an experience not someone elses

[@michael1]

@@blank-dr2kx That's when you'd see a black flag and spend the rest of the day standing in the pits. You're not a racing a driver. You're a clueless twat that's turned up to a racing track. You can't drive a ford focus fast. That's why no one is going to just let you out on a track to do what you want in a Lamborghini.

[@JMcKaySV]

I did one of these for my 18th birthday a few years ago. Wasn't allowed to change out of 4th for pretty much the entire 3 laps. I understand they've got the maintain their cars but really takes the point out of the driving experience for the driver when you can only cruise around at 60mph.

[@hrt25g]

I was watching, waiting to see what happened to ruin it and all the while i kept thinking 'that instructor is a right knob' then I read the description after 🤣

[@peterthomson1239]

I'm surprised he didn't tell you when to blink!

[@James0788]

These so called instructors go on a very basic course which teaches them to chat bollocks as you drive round. They only work a few days a year and get paid per day. They have little experience in driving around track and ruin experience days.

[@greedycobra1446]

I’d had enough of him after the 3 minute mark , it’s a real spoiler when you look forward to something for weeks maybe months and it’s spoilt by a rotten instructor , ergh frustrating to watch

[@joe18425]

Can you tell me something ? Are the instructors forever grabbing the wheel ? Please dont tell me he has a brake pedal like this learning cars ?

[@tonymatthews2987]

i think that instructors got dementia he definitley said off the power, brake then down a gear maybe he needs to have a few lessons himself

[@theworldsbonkers]

I had a driving experience the instructor was a proper bellend. At the time I was 45 have driven all round the world x2 active service tours in war zones have all my licences including hgv1 and motorcycle my job is Heavy crane operator so I drive a 500 t crane with a rolling gross weight of 134t from Scotland to Central London. Yet still he spoke at me as though I was on my driving test. Totally ruined the experience for me instead of just shutting up he was talking shite

[@aaronhall7714]

I did a Ferrari and Nissan GTR drive many moons ago at this same “track” and my instructor was a utter c**t as well. They really do have no idea how to instruct. One flex of your big toe and they have a shit fit. You pay a lot for these things and can’t experience the car over about 3k revs. Absolutely pointless.

[@magooch3288]

I hate the way these instructures ruin it, fella only went 100, haha do that on motorway, should go well over it

Can you tell me which track was it ? Thanks

[@Smaaaaaash]

I sincerely hope you made a complaint about this guy. What an awful instructor.

[@jmoth99]

He was calling up gears late, down gears early, off accelerator way too early, brakes way too early, and to top it all off he obviously has late stage dementia.

[@mrman2632]

Just ignore the guy and smash it round 😂

[@joe18425]

I have reviewed the totality of video evidence presented in this case. After a full forensic examination and alone, by the weight of evidence, it is clear the instructor is a knob jockey. Case closed 👁👄👁🍿

[@paulalborough7142]

I did a driving experience day with the same company and it seems there geared up to keeping your speed down. More recently i did an audi r8 drive at thruxton and was 100% different. At thruxton they actively encourage you to put your foot down and drive to the best of your ability. Awesome experience which i will do again.

[@johnforeman634]

Just watching these videos makes me never want to do this! Someone barking in my damn ear every second? Are you kidding me?? I would never enjoy this!

[@jonathanmarkreed1616]

Clearly said down a gear numpty instructor

[@Yorkshirepetrolhead]

Can anybody explain to me why they get us shifting at 4500rpm? I.e tell you to accelerate to go past a car, but then saying up a gear up another gear as your overtaking.. where not actually getting into the power band… driving around at 60mph in 4/th, 80 in 50th.. why are they not letting us ever feel the full power?

[@james07788]

They shouldn’t let old men with Alzheimer’s Instruct 😂

[@mediocre-motorcycle-modifi6818]

Looks awful can't even change gears when you want.

[@maimunrahman9635]

Me and a few lads did one of those experience days at Elvington. One of them drove an R35 GTR and got an extra lap as the instructor spoke to him rudely. These experience days imo aren't worth the money imo as they are but to then have this sort of instructor 🙄

[@aarontaylor3768]

The driving experience is down to the instructor ive had a poor instructor before and some really great ones who actually make it fun

[@VinEvil]

He's a terrible instructor. Driving on track is extremely daunting and not an easy thing to do safely. He made things worse for the driver. My partner bought me a driving experience when we were first getting to know each other which I appreciated however I felt so embarrassed to tell her a short while after that I work in test and development and drive around tracks everyday. I felt awful :D

[@MMTWRX]

He definitely did - brakes, down a gear. 🤷‍♂️

As you can see for the video, he’s shifting gears super early before any type of power kicks in, you never feel the full power

[@MrCaterhamr500]

These experiences are rubbish, cars like this Rev to 8000rpm and he’s got you changing up at 5000 at the most. I had a Ferrari experience years ago in a 360 Modena, they Rev to 8800 and they had fitted an adjustable Rev limit to lower it to 6500, complained as didn’t get to experience the power properly! I must say my instructor was a dick at Silverstone too, I drove to the circuit on a 370hp Fiat Coupe turbo, I had experience with fast cars but the poor Ferrari felt slow because they had imposed this much lower Rev limit. Better to just buy one and use it on track days, that’s what I eventually did after years of saving.

@@robinthebobin6537 no you can see closely that he downshifts before the instructor asks to

[@michael1]

Yep, effectively he changes down twice causing a big overrev - and although the instructor appears to say he didn't say change down when he did, he's annoyed because just before your timestamp he says to change up and the guy ignores him then. He clearly isn't listening and is both not changing when the instructor says and changing when he hasn't said. Until that one time when he changes down when the instructor says BUT he'd already changed down just before the instructor spoke so ended up changing down 2 gears. This guy should stick to Forza.
