Could anyone recommend me a good driving experience day, company? It's for the good lady. Only a couple of stipulations:
Needs to be Midlands based, and has to have an Audi R8, V8 or V10.
Or, how does a supercar hire co. Compare? Any further ideas?

Cheers people.

I used these dudes - http://www.6thgearexperience.com/ - at their Midlands base in Kenilworth. Was great fun and they do R8s.

I had a go in an LP640 and an F430 Spyder.... rather nice motors.

I've heard some driving experience companies limit the revs to which you can drive the cars. Which I see as pretty pointless. Is that the same for these guy? If not, I'd certainly consider it !

Certainly not with these which is the reason I chose them.

Right up to the red line in the 360CS and LP640 that I drove.

I think I hit about 130-something in the Lambo.

Epic.
