Looking for something for my girlfriend's brother's 30th... Max budget £300, not one of these rubbish red letter days please but a proper trackday or rally experience type affair. Appreciate not big money, especially as it must include the car but looking for people with first hand experience please.

If it's a bike thing, he's limited to non-licence holders stuff, as he doesn't hold a license but has arsed around on motocrossers as a kid/young adult.

Cheers

Stalker MX in (Gonerby Moor) Lincoln, they have a fleet of 2012 Kawasaki KX250Fs to rent.
The track isn't the hardest out there but it's challenging enough.
He should have a good day and you can both do it for less than £200 together.

Will he be allowed without a bike license? If so, that could work.

Without reading all the bumpf I seem to remember that yes you can. As long as you can demonstrate you can operate a geared bike.

Only issue is that although they have the bikes for hire they don't have the associated kit needed. Helmets, boots, gloves etc.

It does look like a great day out though, if you can scrounge the protective gear off someone you'll be laughing. Must do it myself at some point.
