Where are you in UK? Bruntingthorpe in Leics offer a good value driving experience. Girlfriends brother had a choice of cars for a few laps each, and had the option to do extra laps on the day if he wanted for a little extra.

My wife has just got me the Ferrari racing one for Knockhill .

I cant wait , i need to book it first , the only thing is Knockhills a habit of having completely different weather to every where else in Scotland .

The course was 239 pounds and they strap me into a cupra first then im let loose in the 360 Modena .

The package lasts for 1 and a half hours.....cant wait!

We did a corperate day at Goodwood,siting laps in V6 Vectra`s ,then onto driving a Ferrari 360,Porsche 911 Turbo,Renault Spyder,Lotus Elise,Caterham superlight and Formular Euro single seaters,i couldn`t get into the Formula Renault because my sholders are to wide,it was more than a tad expensive but a really great day out.

Then we did a skid training day at Manby Motorplex which was a lot cheaper but still great fun.

Rallying day would be a good choice don`t forget to take the camera.
