Young (Under 17) driver experiences

[.blue]

Does anyone have any recommendations which ones are good?

So far the best one seems to be MBWorld, but that's in an A-Class There's also some that are in a Clio Cup (much better) taking place at Silverstone but the reviews suggest you just drive around a car park avoiding cones - useful learning experience but not the most glamourous of birthday presents.

So, any recommendations of experiences that don't take place in a car park and would make a good birthday present? Or will I be better off buying something not related to petrol?

Mk IV Escort and an empty car park? Go-karts? Difficult to imagine anyone letting someone without a licence do anything that might be dangerous, i.e. anything exciting. I know there are some race series for young'uns but I'm sure they have to go through plenty of tests and instruction first don't they?

I learnt to drive with the U17CC, I flippin' loved it!

When I was in my early teens this was my birthday and Christmas presents combined for a few years, and driving round Castle Coombe all day was the best thing ever!

My son who is 14 has done two days at Prestwald Hall first in a Ferrari 360 and the second in a Nissan GTR a few weeks ago for his birthday, the companies called Everyman Racing it was £69 for ten minutes driving in the GTR and he managed 120mph which I didn't believe until I saw the in car video!!
