driving experience days
Turbo Mini Forums

Looking to book my old man a driving day somewhere for his 60th.

Any of you guys been on any? Looking for some good recommendations really.

I enjoyed the m3 day the wife got me at oulton park. They did push you plus it's very slick and professional.
The wife's boss did a palmer sport day which they recon it was excellent but it was a full day at £800!

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I've done a drivers dream days thingy. Wife got me a voucher one year. It was pretty good.

Bought me Dad the aerial atom one for his birthday and he's just done it few weekends back at Elvington, day out was good enough,just the job- a quick 4 lap blast for £85 iirc, however company/people generally were a right set of car snob pretentious thatcheright wankers!

Lisa bought me a tank driving day for my 40th back in feb from buyagift, i have not been able to get a date from the company running it as they never return calls and never answer the phone just let it go to voicemail, i have spoken to buyagift (after finally getting there number that they hide on there website) to complain and try and extend the voucher but they have also not rang back when they said they would alot of money wasted imo

How about a hiilcimb drivers school?

Harewood also do one, and maybe Shelsley Walsh.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I have done quite a few, rally day at combe, about 3 rally days at silverstone, track day at combe and my dad and brother inlaw have done the single seaters and the track day at silverstone.

I would recomend going strait to the track themselves as my rally day at combe was a red letter and a pain to sort out but brilliant fun.

Silverstone rally ones i have been too were brilliant, group n fiesta rally car, they even let you left foot brake if your comfortable to, even when one died on me (power steering failed) they got me strait into another car and re did my run.

Cheers chaps :)

Oli, i was looking at the atom day but thought 4 laps might be a bit short? No idea how much actual track time you get on the rest of them though tbh.

I was looking at the westfield ones, but fook they're pricey!
My old man wants a kit car next so the atom one might fit the bill pretty well.

The hillclimb day would be a good call if he ever gets round to building a westy, cheers Wil.

I had 8 laps in a Caterham, it was over far too quickly for me. 4 laps wasn't enough to get used to the car and get some proper flying laps under your belt.

Hey Nick,
My GF got me the single seater experience at Silverstone for my birthday 2 weekends ago. I thought it was brilliant. Got around 40 minutes of racing time. The cars were great, well prepared and fun to drive and the organisation of the whole programme was excellent. Everything ran smoothly and on time. Also got to sneak into the BTCC for free, so book on a good race weekend and you might get lucky too :)
