Recommend Me An Advanced/Extreme Driving Day/Weekend
Discussion
Hi folks,
It's my brothers birthday at the end of October so, I would like to treat him to a fun day or weekend out. We are based in Edinburgh but, don't mind travelling for the right event and have a budget of up to £1500 including hotels. He will be 24 and has only had his license 1 year so, don't know if that will effect any of the suggestions. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Rent one of Bookatrack's Caterhams for a day at one of their trackdays? Get some tuition thrown in.
You'll get far more track time each than you would otherwise.
If you want to do something together then how about a rally course?
From what i've seen, many "experience" days are quite limited. Max revs, don't go too fast, not much time behind the wheel. They're aimed at Joe Bloggs, who watches Top Gear and once told his wife that he'd quite like to change their Zafira CDX for a Zafira ZRI, so his wife thinks he's "into cars" and buys him an experience from W H Smith's for his birthday because he's been a good boy and kept the garden nice and washed the car for her.

Yes, I want to do it too. You'll get far more track time each than you would otherwise.

My wife bought me a stunt driving course (1 day event)at the Northampton International Raceway

It was the absolute business and she paid a bit less than that a couple of years ago, but they discount for groups.
I appreciate it is a bit of a way but he will never forget it and you could afford to bring a few other family members - 6 of you makes up a team (or it did) and you have 6 events throughout the day including lunch.
I loved it and would happily do it again in a heartbeat.

How well does a powerfully built director fit in a Caterham?You'll get far more track time each than you would otherwise.
