Just wondering if anybody has any recommendations for an F1 driving experience - I've got quite a large birthday coming up for a close family member and this is one of the options.

There's ones like this, but I've heard the three sisters track is a little small to fully exploit an F1 car. Then you've got your more expensive options such as this one, but I've not seen any reviews on these so not sure they're worth the extra cash.

Are there any recommendations, and if you've done one of these F1 experience days, how did you find it?

I've never been there so couldn't say! I have heard about karting up there though, so must be a fairly small track.

Thanks for the suggestions.

He's already done a coupe of Palmersport days, so I was looking for something a little different. For the record he loved both days though!

I also had a look at the Silverstone Challenge day as suggested which looks like great fun, but I don't think it'd offer him anything new over what he's already experienced, other than the Defender off roading.

3 Sisters is a (wide) kart track, but that means driving more corners.

I did an XR3i & Formula Ford session there in the early 90s, which was good.
Thanks for this link! It does look like a pretty tight track.
