Hi all,

Would like to get my brother a supercar type driving experience day. He lives in London (and doesn’t have a car), and is only free on the weekends. Budget around £100, obviously less would be better, but want it to be half decent.

This looks good, but is only on week days..

Any recommendations? There are loads of companies around, but no idea how they compare, so anyone on here been on one?

Cheers! Duane.

Kind of depends where in London, although its not a million miles from a station.

EDIT:

Done a few driving days at Brands Hatch which have been good (more expensive I recall though). Getting to the circuit without a car might be a bore Certainly need a taxi for the last part. (website says it’s 3 miles from train station linking to London Victoria)

Gotta be Brands Hatch Duane. A proper circuit rather than some aerodrome setup

Not quite what you’ve asked for, but the F1 simulator place near Redhill is really good fun.
Thats coming from someone who doesnt drive or play computer games.

Had a full day at Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands, Weybridge, in an AMG C63 with an instructor. Track, Skid pan & off road course in the AMG 4X4 thing.

Absolutely superb day – have never had so much fun as getting it totally sideways and into a perfect drift/ doughnut on the skid pan.

I’m just glad that I wasn’t paying for it….I think it was more like £600!

Double post so:

EDIT: Also did an Audi day at brands Hatch. TT then Formula Audi single seater. That was good too.

Probably Swanley. This was the main station for the paralympic games, I believe there is a reasonable bus service from there to West Kingsdown (the town Brands is in) but dont quote me. Will be a cheap cab ride up there anyway.

But Longfield, 2 stops after swanley might be closer .

Cheers all. Transport is not that much of an issue – if he can afford to live in London he can afford a short taxi ride 😛 Mentioned it more so people didn’t recommend places up North etc 🙂

Brands Hatch looks good but is quite expensive, and it’s “only” an M3 (I know I know.. but a Ferrari etc would be nice :P)

How about Silverstone? They do this, not much driving (same as all around this price range I guess)..

This looks quite good actually, bit cheaper, and lets him choose location and what car (supercar or rally) he wants..
