Hey, new joiner here after some advice from those in the know.

I’d like to get my partner a race / track day and always thought Palmer’s was the best. But the more I research the more I find. Thruxton’s has a great supercar line up:
Mclaren 570s
Lambo huracan
Ferrari 458 spider
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Porsche Cayman
Formula Renault

And my partner is a big Porsche fan but Silverstone is home of the GP…. I know nothing about cars personally hence my post.

Am I missing other experience days? I don't think Red Letter quite cuts it.

We are in the South East, don’t mind travelling a bit and budget is £1000

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

Thanks guys.

So despite all the hype and blurb on the websites, are you really not able to drive as fast on another track than you can at Palmers? Appreciate the insight. I may just have to let him book, the whole I’ve driven xyz supercar vs speed isn’t something I want to call on.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, really appreciate your thoughts.

Partner is ex military and has done extensive advance driving courses over the years so feel he may be disappointed with the rev limits and what not with the supercars. I’m erring towards Palmers.

Thanks again!

Pretty much unanimous – Palmer’s it is. Thanks for the tip on 10% December discount.

Cheers everyone.
