Jaguar The Art of Performance Tour 2019 Melbourne - Sunday 1st December 2019
I signed up for the Jaguar Art of Performance Tour which is held around the country showcasing Jaguar's current line up of performance vehicles including the F-Type, F-Pace SUV, I-Pace Electric Vehicle, XF SportBrake and E-Pace SUV.
The event was held at Sandown Raceway and there were a variety of activities to try including the Ice Cube which was a demonstration of the amazing traction and ascent/descent controls on the E-Pace SUV, Smart Cone Challenge where you drive as fast, accurately and as smoothly as possible through random cones that change colour, some laps around the Sandown track to show the racing lines and acceleration of the cars and finally a drive out on the streets with some instructors to show you the features and abilities of the cars.
Of course out came the GoPro and being Melbourne, the weather was pretty bad - we had heavy winds and constant drizzle all day with a mix of showers and rain just to mess with our day as we headed out to the track. All in all, it was a great experience to see these amazing built machines up close and personal. They are amazing to hear and they handle so well.
A big thank you to Tony D'Alberto (Co-driver to Fabian Coulthard in the DJR Penske team), Ricky Capo (2015 Formula 3 Australian Champion) and Dominic for being great instructors and co-drivers for the day, plus all of the Jaguar staff of course, including Tim Jones (Lead Driver for Jaguar Australia), Dean Sammut (Evolve Driving) Sam Brabham, Angie Gigliotti (Mega Rocket Productions), Tim Stuart, Luke and the rest of the team.
