Who would get your money for a track day gift..? I'm looking to purchase one (not for me) - the drivers dream day "choose your car" option is good. 2 cars is £200. However, they don't get very good reviews from what I can see.

I can only pay for it, the recipient will have to book everything so I want it to be painless, but most importantly I want the person to get a great driving day. I would prefer a two or more car shootout for them, not for silly money (i.e. palmersport - i used to work there and it is a great day out but I don't want to spend +£600 on the day)

could you stretch for them to share one of bookatrack's caterhams for a day? got to be the best value. loads more time in car than the ddd one. they'll be on track 10 mins if lucky.

ETA Track club could put you together something I'm sure. www.track-club.com

Booked with track-club - it looks much better, I just hope that it turns out to be better than the reviews I have seen of the other lot.

The cars might not be as exotic, but what matters is the on-track time and tuition (and attitude towards sales) IMO. I'm hoping the recipient will be grateful! wink
