As I am a instructor at Silverstone I would reccomend,

-Audi RS4 expierance (great car, very fast in straight and good to have instructor with you)
-Lotus Exige expierance (great little car, great in the corners and good to have instructor with you)
-Single seater (best value for amount of track time, but no instruction!)
-Rally (don't know much about it, because im only on track instructor, but seems fun)
-Autotest (great fun to learn control techniques!)

Those are the top 5 and the only ones worth doing at Silverstone really.

I know you will see supercar expierance and immidiatly want to do it, with the Ferrari's and Porsche's, but they are old heaps really, don't take those expierances! We might be getting Ferrari 360 challenge cars for next year, so the supercar would be good then. But the 5 listed above are very good.

Good luck

Yes, you will be fine, a bit of a squeeze in the Exige, but you will fit
