One of the ladies at my company, wants to give her hubby a present of a driving day at a race track. Not a track day ala SIDC, but one of those where you can drive a variety of provided cars, possibly even single seaters.

Whilst he is foremost a biker, I have never seen one of these events for bikers and I dont think he'll take his own bike on track.

Can anybody recommend a good day, preferably up north, though she may consider Brands or Silverstone. Oulton would be ideal, as its close.

Thanks.

 

Oulton Park do these sort of events, as I was at one about 10 years ago. Managed to spin, but it wasn't my fault (even the marshall agreed, and I got to continue!).

Knockhill, as well as doing the variety of cars thing, also do a bike equivalent. Check out their website at

 

plenty of bike ones out there; check out Ron Haslams

 

We hope to by able to offer exactly that product in the next few days. Drive days, not track days.

We are liasing with some firms to get the best deal possible.

If you intrested please email paul@platinumhire.com for info.

Regards
Ronnie

W H Smith sell the days the Ferrari day is run by Pat Jackson One of the venues is Elvington near York. Pat Jackson also involved with Vision Motorsport which is worth a look

 

Thanks for the replies gents. Ive passed them on to the lady concerned and its in her hands now.

 

Having done it, I can recommend the Tangerine F1 Experience at Mallory Park - you drive a variety of cars/single seaters and end up in a 1988 Tyrrell F1 car. Pah - old clapped out junk you might say - but I still managed to get 165mph out of it down the pit straight on a wet track, cold brakes and semi slick hillclimb tyres.......

- tell him to take a pack of Pampers.....

 

I've just been on a Audi TT driving day at Oulton Park..

<B> BRILLIANT!!!! </B>

Drove the lovely Audi TT & Single Seater, loved every minute of it and I'm going back

I kept getting told to Slow down..
