Hi my mrs has just bought me a 'driving sensation' experience -any recommendations for the best circuit to do it at?
Car choice is easy I'm going for the atom and probably the Ferrari 360 but which track /instructors let you really experience these cars? Top speed not important but I want to enjoy the acceleration and handling as much as poss.

I've driven loads of cars on and off the track over the years and even done some saloon car racing so I know what these cars are capable of but how close will I get to enjoying them???

Any comments appreciated

Cheers
Mark

Whatever you choose to drive, do it at Blyton - we've hired Teesside a couple of times for shakedown testing and it's too small for a car really, never got out of second in the Ginetta.
Elvington is tough on tyres, and while you're probably not too bothered about that the owner of the car you're driving will be and you may be restricted accordingly.
Blyton's by far the best of the three to drive, a small circuit with good surfaces and runoff rather than a kart track or airfield.

The fact that they're your choices however might point to you not being allowed to exploit the car you choose though....

Cheers mark,
That was pretty much the conclusion I'd come to too so thanks for helping me make my mind up. Typical it's the furthest for me to travel!
