The Ultimate Lamborghini Experience returned to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA for its third event. Sponsored by Lamborghini of Beverly Hills, Al & Ed’s Autosound, and Kenwood, The Ultimate Lamborghini Experience 3 was an all-out private owners’ track day designed to give select Lambo owners the chance to drive their cars the right way.
The day started out with customers getting together and given on-track instruction and training. The instructors of the day was Davy Jones, who has competed in IRL, F3, and won the 1996 24 Hours of Le Mans. Lamborghinis owners then sat as passengers to the driving instructors where they pointed out braking zones, danger areas, and turns. After a few laps, driver and passenger would switch places, with instructors guiding and watching until customers were deemed ready to do hot laps by themselves.
The day could not have ended any better than to get a hot lap with none other than Valentino Balboni, the former chief test driver for Lamborghini. A legendary figure among Lamborghini enthusiasts, Balboni has reportedly driven more than ¾ of all Lamborghini models ever made and was a popular hit among attendees.
