Last year for Christmas I was bought a Driving Experience day, in a Nissan GTR, with a choice of different locations.

I am based in the West Midlands (near Birmingham) but don't mind travelling and making a weekend of it if somewhere is worth travelling to.

The options I have are:

Northampshire - Silverstone
Glamorganshire (Wales) - Llandow
Kent (South East) - Canterbury
Leicestershire (Midlands) - Prestwold Hall
North Yorkshire (North) - Elvington
Staffordshire (Midlands) - Seighford
Surrey (South East) - Cranleigh
Warwickshire (Midlands) - Kenilworth
Warwickshire (Midlands) - Long Marston

This will be the first "performance" car I have driven, and will also be my first driving experience day smile

Any recommendations/advice will be much appreciated smile

I would say Silverstone as out of the listed venues, it is the only 'proper' racing circuit (I think!).

The circuit will be a more memorable experience than an airfield.

Enjoy it!

The Cranleigh one will be the Top Gear test track, but not in the figure of 8 that the show uses.

I like the idea of Silverstone - as Steve said, it's the only 'proper' race track. This would certainly be more memorable than driving round an airfield smile
