Rally Day
Not sure if this is the right forum but I have a Virgin Experience Rally Driving course (2-3 hours) to use up 
and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to location/course.
I am based in Surrey and the “local” locations seem to be Silverstone, Chipping Norton (Vision Motorsport), Cirencester (Gwynnespeed), Evesham (Rally School Co) and Mallory Park (Everyman Motor Racing).
I am tempted towards Silverstone (90 miles) or Mallory (130 miles) as I also have a High Speed Passenger ride in either of these two locations and it would be good to try to combine if possible. However, the Rally Driving is more important and an upgrade to a longer course 4-7 hours) at Mallory is a possibility so this is my favourite at the moment.
I would welcome any comments from those who have experienced any of these courses as to quality of instructors, cars and stages?

i did a day at Silverstone Rally School back in 2005, i don't know if this is the same one as offered to you, but i can recommend it if it is
very good tuition, the course is a nice variation with loads to keep you on your toes. a training area to learn some skills (sort of
) cars were mk2 escorts and you really were pushed to your limits so a rewarding day.
we went for the full day option and if i was picking holes i would say some more bum in seat time would have been better, but a cracking day and in fairness you're shattered when you get out the car (no power steering or servo assited brakes
)
some pics (again,hopefully this is the right one!!)
