Anyone Interested in a driving day experience
I've been thinking for a while about going on one of these driving day experience's in April or May.
I've done a Palmer driving day a couple of years ago and have to say it was awesome.
You get to drive about 7 top car's on a race track and you get to push them hard, In the words of one instructor, "If you don't spin you ain't trying hard enough"
It's a full day, starting at 9.00 and finish's at 5.30, with breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
heres a link
PalmerSport Driving Day at Bedford Autodrome
I'm waiting on a email back from palmer sport regarding cost's
The other option is something like this
http://www.intotheblue.co.uk/site/pa...rs-19.aspx#a45
Driving Experiences at The Racing School - Ultimate Supercar
most race tracks will offer corporate days, with a good mix of things but we'd need 10+ for those
anyone in the welsh section interested???

I'm Interested all depending on the dates available as I work shifts and all my holidays are included in my shift pattern. So unable to book days off without swapping shifts so would require at least 4 weeks noticed, Bugsy me the caterham.

The more we get the cheaper it works out and If you get 20+ we have the venue to ourselves

Be nice to do in in Scoobs TBH. I found Thruxton pretty good as it is a simple track but there was definaely no Spinning. They seemed very strict to me.

Gazz, we drive scoobs every day, it's not often you get to drive some of these cars, in fact unless you go on one of these day's you'd never get the chance to drive a 400bhp single seater!!!! the last palmer day I did they really wanted you to push the cars, no holding you back
Nick the age isn't a problem, have a look at there FAQ's on there web site, I'm sure we can sort something out
