Am thinking of offering a day driving Ferraris or such like as an incentive to my sales team this month.
Anyone know of the "best" place to contact for a half day or day of thrashing Ferrari's or such like (with tuition of course!)
Silverstone / Brands ?
Any idea of cost ?

brands hatch, thruxton and the like do days like that.

So if it's an incentive, can I apply for your sales team?

 

I did a one-to-one driving day yesterday at Thruxton in a Lotus Elise. 3 laps instructor driving, 2 x 7 laps me driving and 2 white knuckle laps with instructor driving. It cost about 270 quid.

Ian Taylor school at Thruxton also do the racing day consisting of Rover 45 GTI, MGF, Boxster, 355/360 Ferrari and a single seater. I think thats around 350 quid but not sure, but you dont get many laps in each.

Thruxton is a superb quick circuit to drive.

druddle - the Thruxton/Elise 1-1 day sounds great - 2 of my team drive Elises.

Not quite the same but I'd very highly recommend the days at Jonothan Palmers place in Bedford where you get to drive a variety of cars. Totally brilliant and can be good competetive fun as your split inot team and are timed in all the cars and have a printout of your overall days performance.

Tel is 01264 882222. Better still go to

 

Thruxton is definately the place to go. Fast circuit, excellent training & they let you drive fast. Brands Hatch was cheaper/more laps but you couldnt do this,that,that,this...

 

Another vote for the Jonathan Palmer day, no rev limit and you will drive Caterham, VX220, Exige, S2000, Palmer Audi Singler seater amoungst others.

At most schools the cars are rev limited. This includes at Thruxton (4000rpm i think) except on the Elise !!!!!!!!!
