Heidelberg Engineering Spectralis users get a taste for speed at Silverstone

A celebration of technical excellence was the theme of a Silverstone race track day for Heidelberg Engineering Spectralis users recently.

Eight regional independent opticians who use the precision OCT scanning technology were able to put a Ferrari 360 F1 Modena, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Nissan GT-R through their paces at the race track.

Tosh Vadhia, Heidelberg Engineering national sales manager, explained: ‘It was a great occasion and reinforced our desire to use the very best of technology with this fast track driving.’

Laura McAlpine, optometrist and practice owner from Largs in Scotland said: ‘The highlight of the day was certainly the Ferrari – the engine power was just amazing. I started off fairly cautiously but by the end of the day I was foot to the floor and off I went. It was a brilliant day out with a really great atmosphere. The Heidelberg people spent a lot of time with us – it was really nice that a company takes a moment to recognise and value us,’ she said.
