Me and the wife are going to Abu Dhabi for 10 days in October to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We both fancy a track day experience that are advertised on their company website. I am too tall for the Formula 3000 option so probably the V8 Aston or Jaguar F-Type.

Any tips or issues from other peoples experiences?

I was going to book the Formula 3000 but there is a height restriction and I am too tall. I have booked 2 x Jaguar F-Type 'S' for me and the wife.

Yeah but are you too tall for the Radical?
They are not on the 'Availability List' of the company that I am using.

Than 'H'. I recently sold my DB9 which I have for a number of years and tracked it a few times so scratched the Aston itch. I have also had 5 Jags with my last one being the XKR. I almost bought the F-Type 'S' but a manual DB9 coupe came along so it will be fun to throw the baby Jag around.
Pity about the GP circuit... I was expecting to drive the full circuit.

If you're doing this in summer, the Aston's AC is a b/tch. Blows hot air at you whenever you accelerate (ie 90% of the time). Also it's a bit crude for a proper race car and they leave the traction control on which is quite intrusive. The Radical is in a different league entirely.
Like I posted above - "I have booked 2 x Jaguar F-Type 'S' for me and the wife".
