When it comes to trying out performance machinery on track the options have been pretty limited until now.
Many companies rent out serious cars for use on track, complete with instructors, but more often than not, they're ex race cars. That's no bad thing of course as a stripped our race car is going to be faster than any road going equivalent. The downside is that driving a full on race car is a very different - and potentially intimidating - experience compared to getting into road going sports cars.
For people who want to sample a regular 911, M3 or TVR on track with foot firmly planted the options have been limited until now.
Coulson Pritchard Associates also recognised this gap in the market and they've assembled a fantastic fleet of exotica for use on track. You can choose from a Porsche GT3, Noble M12 GTO-3R, BMW M3 CSL, TVR T350c, Caterham R300, or the new V6 Renaultsport Clio and Lotus Exige. The beauty of their proposition is that there are no nannying 4000rpm rev limits or restrictions on mileage.
The cars are available on either a full or half day basis to individuals or small groups (up to 3 people is recommended). Prices start at £250 per person (based on a group of three sharing).
