Anyone booked a "driving experience"? Did you/ your DH liked it?

Where you can drive an aston martin or a ferrari?
Im thinking about it for DP's birthday but 4 laps @ £100 is quite a lot..

I sent DH on a Lotus Driver Training Day a couple of years ago, which he very much enjoyed. There's a good description of what it entails from a blogger here.

I got one through Track Days - it was driving four classic cars at Mallory Park. He loved it. It was pricey though - MIL and I clubbed together for his 40th.

DH loved this (Mercedes). Pricey but good fun.

DH booked his own...can't remember what he did, but obviously he enjoyed it. I think he spent jsut over £100.

Dh did this one at Bedford Aerodrome and loved it! No Aston Martins or Ferraris though, and cost a lot more than £100 I think.

DH did a rally driving experience (few hours) can't remember where but somewhere in Oxfordshire. He loved it but is a bit car mad.

DH bought BIL a classic car driving experience at a track, and he loved it.

ok - thank you - i'll book it then!

friend booked her dh a driving experience which he liked but said not to book through red letter days as you get better deals going directly through th place where the track is.

i did this for DH, he did enjoy but it wasnt what we expected- loads of people- like hundreds- and there was quite a push once there to buy a drive in another car/dvd of drive. was fairly short really for the money...

ok thanks for that - very useful.

I wanted to do a tank one for DP....never got round to it though.

I got DH a day at Silverstone for his 30th - much cheaper if you book direct with Silverstone rather than one of those people like Red Letter Days (although they went bust didn't they?). I couldn't decided whether to get him a track day or an off road day, so I got him a long day that did a bit of everything, but got all the rest of the family to chip in. from memory they did:

Track racing (solo)
Porsche racing (with drivers)
Off Road land rovering
Rally driving
Caterham skills

I'm sure there were a couple of other bits too. Good support/transport around/hot drinks for spectators.

Oh yes, and the package came with tickets to any Silverstone event apart from the British Grand Prix. We went the the Mini Grand Prix!

oh, if you are anywhere near eastnot castle (ledbury, herefordshire) they do fantastic land rover experiances, not sure how much but friend did it and said it was amazing, hours and hours too

oops! eastnor

stupid question but when it says "full driving licence" it means that DP should have all his points?
... in that case.. not possible...

It means "not provisional and not automatic-only". If they were bothered about points they'd say "clean driving licence".

ah! great! Thanks
