Recommend Impreza 'driving experience' day?
My wife and son (18) have birthdays coming up soon and I thought about them both doing an 'Impreza driving experience' - a few laps on a track in an STi.
Any recommendations in the Midlands area? There's loads of companies advertising on the web, but I'm looking for best value for money, obviously.
Cheers.

My mate did the silver rally experiance at Prestwold Hall near Loughborough, he got to drive an Impreza STI, Evo 8, Focus RS and a group N polo. Said it was really good and lasted about half a day, they do a gold package which is the whole day. The only thing he said is it's best to go during the week as there is less standing round waiting and more time spent in the cars. Hope this helps.

i did a lambo and hummer experience there which was amazing, also couldnt resist paying an extra £40 on the day for some laps in the STi
the company that runs them all is called everyman racing, very professional and reasonable!
wrap up warm though, not much shelter!

I did an STI day via everyman there and to be honest I wan't that impressed. For the money you get so little time in the car. It's probably worth doing a whole pack but just the scooby package (think it was 6 laps) was a complete waste of money imho. Sure there are better and far cheaper companies out there. Also I felt the track was a bit poo as well to be honest also you're sharing it with all sorts ferarris lambos corvettes etc so you're constantly waiting for them on the corners (LOL) I wont be doing one there again!

I've just bought my wife a subaru rally experience with virgin experience days for xmas: Virgin Experience Days - Subaru Driving Experience | Subaru Thrill She's always wanting to drive my scooby but is reluctant to because she says it's too big and powerful for her. Hopefully this will be a fun experience for her and show her that the impreza is an amazing car and one that she can enjoy too. Told her the scooby wave might be a bit redundant on the circuit though. It's down in Leicestershire and you can get 20% off 'virgin experience days' by ringing them and mention 'Newcastle Chronicle & Journal'. I saved £20.

On the flipside however, I jumped into the latest Impreza and did 6 laps on the rally/gravel track and had termendous fun, throwing it around track, powersliding, etc. etc. all for £35 bought on the day as it was available as a special offer.
