We did try organising one of these last year but they were only able to offer week days and we didn't get enough interest. Has this changed?
I've done a trackday here and its a great track. I nearly killed the woman who was waving the start/finish flag though so hope she doesn't remember me

Everyone who has done one of these confirms that it is a great laugh
I do want to clarify though that you get 20 minutes in the car with an instructor and then a high speed passenger lap with the instructor scaring you witless, up to that point you may think that you are a driving god but once you have been driven around by a proper driver your dreams will be shattered forever!20 minutes may not sound like a lot but equates to at least 15-20 laps I would have thought.....
