Got Driving Day Present... Which Circuit?

pugheaven · 22 Mar 2013 at 16:43

I've got the following available and will be driving an Ariel Atom and Lambo. Rockingham if it's the full circuit looks good... Prestwold Hall looks ok... and Kennilworth is looking like a fave at the moment... just done Three Sisters with the missus, and done that 3 times now so... problem is, a lot of these don't look that taxing, at least with Three Sisters there's loads of turns...

Essex (South East) - North Weald
Fife (Scotland) - Anstruther
Glamorganshire (Wales) - Llandow

Did mine at Elvington airfield. Really enjoyed it, and got to push the car further than I thought I'd be allowed...

From the list I would be choosing Fife in Scotland, as I'm assuming that would be Knockhill, and that's my favourite track in the UK based on sentimental value, plus it looks very challenging.

I think I did mine at the location in Oxfordshire; it was an airfield location but a track had been built next to the airfield so wasn't just laid out with cones.
Contrary to the dislike that most of these driving days get, mine was brilliant and got to hit the limiter on everything I drove.

The limiter in 1st?

Watched some videos of this. Looks like a bore fest to me, and I would not appreciate being spoken to like I'm an idiot who can't put a car in first and release the clutch without instruction :/

The type of people that usually go for these days normally do need babysitting, I'm sure if show that you don't need babysitting they'll ease off on you.

I did a rally morning a few years ago and that was ace... to the point that everything the guy was saying worked, then he took me out, and blimey o'reilly, that was a demonstration of driving lol... and I wasn't the genius driver that are on these forums obviously lol... but I learnt loads that you couldn't do on public roads... was windy, walloping down with rain in a tuned ford focus lol... hand braking it around 180 degree bends with the window wipers chucking mud and rain everywhere was a great day out. Flying through S bends on muddy water is something to be experienced...

The missus bought me this as I'll never own a Lambo (not a decent one anyway lol)... so may as well take one out and see what's what... couldn't think of many better ways to spend a Saturday morning... "what did you do? I drove and Lambo and an Atom around at speed, then went shopping lol" :-)

Sounds good to me.

Got a track day with the RX8 this year (two planned), got a track day on 30th July at Oulton park with the motorbike (CBR600FX)... doing European trip on bikes for 14 days in August, this year is panning out quite nicely :-)
