Default Driving days

Ive seen a couple of driving days with a company called Red letter day
that I would like to do, ones called Rally driving experience and ones called Introductory Subaru Rally driving (the second one id prefer ) has anyone been on these or anything similar and are they worth it?

and also circuits like brands Hatch & Silverstone have Rallydays and are very good IMHO

red letter days obviously go through a 3rd party (the rally school themselves) i would think it would be cheaper to go direct i know this was the case on the flying lesson i purchased for my partner

Red letter day was previously owned by the last Dragons Den lady entrepreneur. Went bust which is why she is no longer in the Den. Presume its been taken over.

My friend went on one of those experiences and he said it was rubbish. It was like a track day but they only let him do 5 laps in the good cars and he wasn't even allowed to boot it; the instructor kept telling him to slow down!

I'm probably gonna do this: Ride Drive Ltd UK, High Performance Advanced Driving Course, Advanced Driver Development.

It should be fun but the main reason is to improve my technical ability.

Thats not good, when I did my prodrive one they let you go as fast as you liked they actually egged you on, you was certainly able to rag em there, was well good it taught me alot about Subarus and how to handle them, well worth the money
