Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting a friend a present for xmas of one of those rally experience days, or maybe a skidpan training type day using your own car..
I want a rally type thing, as we did a supercar type experience a little while ago.
Anyone recommend anything good? Seen a few that look ok, but thought if anyone had been on one and was able to recommend something that would be good
Let me know if you have any recommendations of where to go or where to avoid!
Thanks,
James

My mates missus was going to get an expensive "experience" day til I pointed out that he could do a beginners trackday, in his own car, with an hours instructor training for less than £250. Places like Club MSV, Javelin etc all do it and Chris said it was the best day he's had.

The instructor helped with driving style, suspension set-up etc etc over 3x 20 minute sessions. By the end of the day Chris was 12 seconds a lap faster round castle coombe and ready for the Nurburgring.

Just checked out the club MSV site. Some very good prices on there, very tempting.

If you're local to a club msv track then an evening taster session for £25 is great fun. You wont kill the car and can take passengers for a tenner.

Depending on where you/ your friend live, I did the skid pan course at Castle Coombe a few years back. Was a great day, the instructors were excellent and you used cars on a slippery surface rather than a car sat on a jig. They had an E30 and a rover 214 so that you could experience fwd and rwd losing control.
