Sorry if this has been asked before but could anyone recomend a good trackday experience in this area which is fun but teaches you how to handle a car also. I'm looking at around £250 but there but be 2 or 3 of us.
Thanks for your help

You'd probably be looking at the first Lotus training day at North Weild (sp?), A day there with instruction is £170 (4 people), I've not been but have heard good stuff about it.

Its not strictly a track day either.

Depends on whether you are using your own car or not.

Either way if its track fun you want then I would go to a proper track and not an airfield. Airfield days are not the same fun as a proper track.

If you want to drive their car then its a case of picking a circuit you like the look of or is near you and then looking at their website to see what they offer.

£250 gives you a host of possibilities.


I would book direct rather than through a "red letter day" type organisation as your cuting out the middleman.

If its ultimate track focused driving tuition you're after then I would look to go the single seater route rather than the Ferrari or Lambo route as you get much more for your money and are given more freedom to drive as you like.

Thanks I will not be using my own car and I was looking at driving a car which was driver focused like a noble, lotus or seven.
