Heyup everyone im not a massive poster on these forums, more a serial lurker but i appreciate your knowledge and shared enthusiasm for anything fast n furious (not the films! :O) i assume some of you have had experiences with trackday gifts you can buy for a friend or relative and could offer advice on where to look?

My dad will be 60 on 7th of june and has been a lifelong car nut and would be great to get him something he will always remember :-)

Pretty difficult to answer without a budget.

The best day is the Jonathan Palmer day at Bedford. It ain't cheap tho'.

Aye, about £1600 for two people. Well worth every penny though.

If I had the option of either, I'd still do the palmersport day.

Everytime I've looked at this,when you compare content, the Palmer day makes much more sense, compared to all the others it's a steal. However I don't have anything like the funds to pay for it, but it's made me view the run of mill days as such poor value I've rejected them as gifts on several occasions as I wouldn't want anyone spending that sort of money for what you get!
