Supercar track day

Supercar track day
Been looking to go on a suppercar track day, anyone got any advice on which track is best?
Been to one few years ago which was just 3 laps per car, just been on youtube and was looking at different tracks, one in staford was 6 laps but when looked at track looks tiny, don't look like you can get much speed up on the track which is pointless when driving a supercar

They do have alot of nervous novice drivers there, which guy above sounds like, and they must get some wreckless tools, when i went to briefing at one they said they have had people spin the cars out. Which you get thrown off track for.
But the track does look naff, hence question

real tracks like brands hatch and silverstone cadwell park and donnington etc all do experience days i think. Also you could get track insurance and do a propper "run what you brung" track day on your own. ive never done either but would think thats a better option

I had a go some years ago in a Formula ford, then a Ferrari at the three sisters which was a tight track. I had around 30 minutes in the Ford which was enough really, yes more time would have been nice but I got value for money, I spent the full 30 minutes on the edge overtaking everything in sight. The Ferrari was a waste of space, too wide and heavy for the track and you were not permitted to overtake, and as you went around the rack with the fords would overtake you.....

I did an Ariel atom "experience" at bruntingthorpe two years ago. Fantastic! Passing ferraris, Lambos and Astons on the straights and out braking everything into the bends. I remember yelling down the intercom "I'm gonna do him on the brakes" and the instructor yelling back "do him, do him"
Only got three laps which really isnt enough and they wanted silly money on the day for extra laps. It was great xmas prezzie from the missus though. Ive been told you can get some good discounts using voucher sites.

I've done 2 drivers dream days at bruntingthorpe and driven a Ferrari 360 and F430,Porsche 911,lotus Elise and Lamborghini gallardo spyder and they let you really open them up IF they feel your a capable driver. I'd recommend the lambo definitely,it was an amazing experience and managed to get it to 159mph on the straight on the track.

i tried one of those ferrari days, load of ****e all he kept doing was telling me to change gear around the mid gear section and DONT put the handbrake on etc etc
the only chance i got to thrash it through 1st and 2nd was on starting point where he didnt have much choice in the matter lol - he wasnt happy

Not at all, he's just one of those jealous types that does not like anyone having a car better than his and I get bored with his nonsense. Not aiming that comment at my car btw as it's an old banger compared to a lot of people's motors on here, but he's that way with Mattee, LittleTed ... basically anyone who has a nice car that isn't a Subaru. It's moronic frankly!
