It's driving me mad looking at these, they all sound so good but when you dig deeper it's all airfields with cones! I though I was set on everymanracing.co.uk, but found vids on youtube with the instructors saying "up a gear ... up a gear" and not really letting you go quicker than you could in a Mondeo lol

Has anybody done a Prodrive organised one?

I did a everymanracing one in a F430 and a Gallardo. Wasn't that impressed to be honest, didn't get very much time in the cars at all and the instructor was giving commands the whole time.
I then did a rally one in an old WRX ( forget the company ), this was alot better. Instructor really wanted you to push the car as far as possible. Was near Nottingham somewhere, was a couple of years ago.

Yeah, as I said plenty of vids of the everyman ones on youtube and all the instructors seem quite apprehensive, asking them to change up really quickly and only reaching 60/70mph

MMT WRX

I did 155mph in a Porsche 996 turbo when I did one at Bruntingthorpe last year. The instructor was encouraging me to go as fast as possible all the way.
Maybe they assess how good a driver you are, you know.

Was that an Everyman one?

MMT WRX

Sorry I can't remember as Ive done a few recently. I did one at Prestwold hall which I think was Everyman, in a Porsche C2 which I thought was a bit guttless and could only do about 105 on the straight whereas the Nissan GTR was doing about 120. I think Bruntingthorpe is a better track.

I did a single seater one at Silverstone Stowe circuit, that was fast and you were allowed to overtake. If I remember correctly, 0-60 3secs and top speed 140mph.

Think I'm going to try drifting next time or rallying.

I did an Everyman day at Prestwold Hall in an Aston Martin DB9 and the Nissan GTR

Cannot recommend it enough but I felt the instructor in the Aston was keeping an eye on the speedo whereas the instructor in the GTR was telling me to floor it, brake later and corner harder - an awesome experience in a blinding motor

MMT WRX

Did you pay for the in-car camera? I wish i'd gone in the GTR instead of the Porsche, if you look on YouTube quite a few have uploaded their video and the GTR is loads faster. Did they have the Matt Black GT3 when you were there?

Nah, I was too cheap for that!

I do now, however, wish I had. I bought the photo's which were great. I had a little chat to some instructors whilst waiting for my turns and they were all of the opinion that the best car in terms of value for money and performance was the GTR and this was against a fleet of Lambo's, Aston's & Ferrari's lol

The GTR I drove was white and it was the only one there at the time
my best mate just had to look on in envy lol

MMT WRX

It was £20 for the in-car which I didn't think was bad. I uploaded mine on to YouTube.

It was a GT3 that was Matt Black, it sounded awesome. GTR certainly looked the best car to me.

I cannot recommend it enough, I will try and do another one this year although both drives will be in the GTR this time

MMT WRX

I have a ticket for three supercars in one day, would they just let you stay on track if you chose the GTR for all three?

Would second that i thought it was brilliant but it's more of a driver training day and is spent as you say on a air field with cones but well well worth the money.

If it's an experience day then the London rally school gets some good reviews or the one Lisa mentioned sounds good

It has to be worth asking lol, you wouldn't be dissapointed

The instructor allowed me an extra lap, he was my hero that day

Go on a Rally experience instead I done on with Phil Price rallyschool and was an awesome day. The instructors just want to get you more and more sideways and quicker throughout the day
