Question Tracks/closed courses which allow non-license holders to drive on in my car?

Hi there,

My sons 16th birthday is coming up and I wondered if there were any tracks which would allow him to drive in my car (classic). I've taken him to cardrome in Essex which he enjoys and has become very comfortable with driving a manual. But he would prefer to be in a track environment where he could have some more fun .
I have heard of these company's such as EveryManRacing where your child can drive a supercar around. However, it costs nearly £100 just for 10 minutes and even then you are not able to take the car to its full potential.

He showed me this:

If there is anything similar to this please let me know or whether he is just going to wait for his license

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

Most track days insist on a minimum age plus a valid license that I know of.

Once he's 16 he can apply for a MSA licence I'm sure crail raceway allow under 17s with a MSA licence to race on there tracks so other tracks might be up for that

I think that's similar to what silverstone do in the "driving on the circuit" section:
