Before any of you too excited, its my MIL and no, shes not hot!

Been asked by the wife to book a driving experience for her mums 70th. Shes still quite capable and loves riding shotgun when I do track days, so still quite a petrol head.

I've been told to ensure she gets a go in an AM other than that, I reckon she'd love something like a caterham or Atom.

Has anyone experience of any of the driving "red letter day" things? Any recommendations? Needs to be in a venue down south, any day of the week.

Cheers.

Have a look at Mithril down at Goodwood - can't remember what cars they run now but they have modern and classic options, and it's a lovely place to be.

Hi Ben,

We would look after your mum no problem and have had ladies in their 80's doing our experiences. If you check out our website www.6thgearexperience.com you will get an idea of packages and locations etc. PHer's also get a 10% discount on anything purchased from us.

Thanks

Andy.

Depends what you are / she is after.. in my experience 'supercar' experience days are fairly tame - you get to say you've driven it, but not to give it death trackday style. If it's the latter you're after, palmersport all the way smile
