Default driving experience with tuition?

looking to get my gf a day at a circuit in the uk somewhere as shes always wanted to drive round a track!

looking for a day or half days track driving with an instructor. do any of the uk circuits do these packages?

its not so much a supercar experience just more a morning or that in a lotus or whatever the circuit uses.

am in scotland but dont mind where it is down south as can make a weekend of it. plus its always pissing at knockhill!

cheers
andy

Just google a few tracks matey cause im sure most places do it.

Im sure Croft and silverstone do it.

I think if your mrs does drive round a track she will be addicted and want her own track car.

Me and the mrs are at croft nex tweekend and my mrs is gonna have a drive round croft.Fingerd crossed She will enjoy it then we can buy our own track car.

ye silverstone would be good. cheers glenn shes just a bit wild in a car and is forever bashing hers and said a while ago shed love a shot driving round a track with an instructer. car doesnt really matter am sure a wee clio/cupra etc would be ideal. i know KH have cupras now. just the weather there isnt guaranteed. saying that is it anywhere?!!

MSVT site is worth looking at, Oulton Park is possibly closest and a great track to drive. Perhaps stop over and go round Chester, supposed to be a nice town but never been.

The thing is when the tutors take you out in posh fiats(ferraris) and posh Audis (lambos) they dont let you give it rock all in case you cant handle the cars.

I meant closest of MSV tracks mate.

Don't even think of doing one of those unless you want to say that you've driven a Ferrari for 10 minutes. Nothing like a track day at all.

try and avoid the knockhill ones, i've done two now the rally one and the legends experience. they were good, but track time was low considering what they cost.

there was one a few people on here have raved about, i think it was palmer sport at bedford
