Hi, I'm looking at doing one of these driving experience track days and the best I've founds is this:

Does anyone know of anything better or cheaper? I'm keen to drive an Atom, Ferrari and Lambo, although perhaps this isn't the best combo?

Thoughts and feelings please people! Cheers.

Spend the money on a dirty women. You won't have to stand around for two hours waiting for your ride and she'll let you go as fast as you like!

save your money and spend it on a track day in your MX5!

in my experience all have been disappointing as you are never "let loose" to anywhere near the cars capabilities. i have been bought these "experiences" as presents and had to feign excitement as to not upset the other half!

if you do get one then pick one with a single seater option, at least then you can give it the beans and deal with the "please dont come back Sir" afterwards,

Groupon, at least it's only half the money wasted

You might as well be a passenger for all of the real driving youl get

You should look at these guys
They run a Atom experience day, and also a drift day, or drift taster sessions using MX5's.

Since you have an MX5 (i think) you may get more out of it.. Ive been on a few of their days and they do encourage you to drive the cars properly
(You can find deals with the same guys on Groupon etc)

Horses for courses. It depends what you want really. If you've always wanted to drive XYZ car just to tick it off the list, they are ok. Not the best VFM but ok.

If you want to do it to get the adrenaline pumping and hone your skills, I'd suggest one of the experiences that caterham offer.

I've always wondered what would happen if you did that - pound it like a rental car until it runs out of fuel, and then sneak off to the carpark and leave hehe
