hi all, was thinking of doing a driving experience at Brands Hatch; preferably the one which allows you 15 minutes in an M3 and 15 in a single seater... £180...

any of you done one of these and are they worth the money?

what's more do they let you actually drive the things to the best of your ability (within reason i understand) or are they all too eager to hold you back?

Thanks
jimbob

I did it in 2004. But alas not in an E92 M3 but an MG ZS! It was good, the single seater bit was fecking great. They told me to not let the revs go over 4k or go any higher then 4th gear. It had been raining and I'd only had a licence for 18 months so I didn't set the track alight but I was on my last couple of laps in the single seater and they warn you before you go out to take care or your off the track, so as I came up to Druids I thought I'd give it some beans on the exit!! I must have done about 4 360's but made it look good by rolling back on to the grass with the clutch dipped. I got it into gear agian, got going and was promptly flaged into the pits and giving a bking by the marshall smile. I would love to go again, especially as I can drive now.
