Im looking for a little help,

Its a good friends birthday coming up soon so we are looking to send him on one of these motorsport experience days. Ive had a scout over the internet and see brands hatch and silverstone offer lots of packages but not really what im looking for.

Im looking for a half day or full day experience that drives a number of cars, not to fussed what cars but a varity would be good. Ive noticed that most of the ones listed on the brands/silverstone websites are just 50min sessions or a hour or so. Im looking for something like a 9am arrival and mid day finish. Something worthwhile and hopefully he will feel like hes had a good go at it.

I found 1 package - http://www.experiencemad.co.uk/Super-Car-Driving-D... which offers, "Take the wheel of a Ferrari 360, Subaru Impreza, Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche 996 and a Lotus Elise with this action pack half day driving experience of a lifetime!" for £219 for a half day.

Does anyone have any experience or been on any of the sort that they can recomend?

Best off asking in the advanced driving forum, there's a few of these threads.

The best one i ever did was a 4x4 experience, excellent fun and i think you get more for your money.

Do you know what, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I've done a Ferrari and Lotus experience (and trackdays) and whilst both were good fun, my 4x4 Experience at Langdale Quest in Yorkshire was an absolute hoot...so much so I went back twice more!

Definately worth considering.

A proper full trackday is ace though.

Palmersport takes some beating.

Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Now doing some 1/2 day and evening offers at something like £350 plus VAT but you get to drive, nay thrash, some stunning cars like race spec clios' Jag XKRs, 911s etc.
