So I've been given a atom driving experience day (I say day but it's 3 or 4 laps) but need to pick a track to do it at.
I have a choice of Chobham Test Track(Surrey), Elvinton Airfield (York) or the Prodrive circuit (Warwickshire).

From what I can find out the Chobham looks live the most fun but Prodives is probably the winner as it's only a hour away.

So I thought Id see what others thought of them.

Cheers
Dan

Closest one. You won't need to find a track that would be more challenging and fun than another. You'll be driving an Atom, not a 1.2 Corsa, its limits and abilities will be higher than yours and you'll have a ball no matter where you drive it.

Elvington is as tedious as Amanda Holden. It's completely flat and horribly surfaced...much like Amanda Holden.

Can't speak for the others, but at least you can write one off.

The Pro Drive circuit isn't too bad. You'll certainly have fun going around it in an Atom!

Oh yeah! That!
I drove the Atom 300 at Kenilworth, Prodrive's test circuit. Suited the car well, and by Christ is it fast. You'll absolutely love it!

I've driven a 458 at the Prodrive in Kenilworth. Can't compare it to the others because I haven't driven on them. I believe they've added the new Blyton Park to their list, should be smooth if you don't want a sore bum (like a few ladies above)

Papa Hotel: It goes without saying that it's abilities well outstand mine, but I want to avoid a crap circuit.

liquidken: lol - I'll give that a miss then.

Don't take it as a criticism dude not a damning indictment of your skills, just a suggestion that the Atom will be on another planet whether you drive it round Spa or Santa Pod.
