DESCRIPTION
SPORTING BEARS MOTOR CLUB - FERRARI LAFERRARISUNDAY 16TH NOVEMBER
The Sporting Bears Motor Club, known for its fundraising, is offering a thrill ride in a Ferrari LaFerarri on a circuit, raising money for the Acorn Children's Hospice.
Sporting Bears has become a key attraction of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show in recent years thanks to its "Dream Rides' - a ten-mile ride as a passenger in one if its incredible selection of cars all owned by Sporting Bears' members in exchange for a charitable donation.
The Ferrari LaFerrari ride will be slightly different however, with the action being track-based rather than on the public highway, allowing the lucky passenger the opportunity to experience the full power of this phenomenal car.
The track session will take place in 2015 on Silverstone's GP circuit* with FIA qualified racing driver Paul Bailey at the wheel of the supercar, provided by Horsepower Racing. The car will complete three laps of the 3.66 mile-long circuit at race speed. Passengers must be aged 16 years or older.
The LaFerrari represents Ferrari's most ambitious project yet to push the boundaries of technology on a road car, drawing together the finest expression of the marque's technical capabilities in both GT and Formula 1 engineering.
Developing 789bhp, the LaFerrari has an additional 161bhp coming from it's Formula-one inspired KERS system that recovers energy from the Ferrari's brakes. The result is a car that develops a breath-taking 950bhp and 664lb ft of torque. Not bad for a £1 million price tag.
The Sporting Bears members give their cars, time and fuel freely so that every penny raised goes to the chosen children's charities. The money raised from the Ferrari ride will go to the Acorns Children's Hospice.
The Bears will, on average, give 1,000 dream rides over the three days raising between £35,000 and £40,000 plus gift aid. For as little as £10, you can have a ride in a great British classic. If you're looking for something 'super', expect to pay £100-£120.
