Buying for a birthday present for a 70 year old who would enjoy driving some fast cars and maybe something older like an E type.

I know peoples experiences vary massively so be good to hear about the better ones. Would need to be at Oulton Park or somewhere within an hour or so of Leeds

Thanks

If you'd like to do Oulton do it direct with the circuit, not another operator. They run M4s and single seaters but no classic stuff, thats a pretty limited market I think. If the driver isn't into climbing in and out of single seaters there is the option of a double drive in the M4s if they prefer.

They do manage to run things without if feeling like a cattle market in modern well maintained cars on a proper race circuit, IMO a better product than anyone else that runs experiences out of there.

Rather than start a new thread, given the title:

what do people make of events at Castle Coombe for a gift? One of the supercar jobs. Obvs a dedicated circuit which is a plus, but is it a good experience/ event?
