Right, my girlfriend bought me the "Ferrari and Lamborghini Driving Experience" for my 21st from buyagift.
The nearest location i can do it at is Elvington in York, but i've just watched some videos on youtube and they seem to be pretty tame with how they let you drive them and doesn't look a very good track seen as it's on a runway and just has cones to set it out...
These are my 9 choices, have any of you been to them? And which would you most recommend? I don't really want to be traveling too far though 
Lancashire (North) - Three Sisters Race Circuit
Leicestershire (Midlands) - Bruntingthorpe
Leicestershire (Midlands) - Prestwold Hall
Lincolnshire (Midlands) - Blyton Park
North Yorkshire (North) - Elvington
Northamptonshire (Midlands) - Rockingham
Surrey (South East) - Longcross
Warwickshire (Midlands) - Kenilworth
Warwickshire (Midlands) - Long Marston

Yeah, just looked at the videos of Three Sisters, seems too small for anything bigger than single seaters! Blyton isn't actually as far away as i thought, i'll have a look at that!

I went Pretswold for the LAmboughini day, and after i done it he told me to go to Leicestershire (Midlands) - Bruntingthorpe, next time as it's got a longer straight.
On mine, they took 3 of us around the track in a scooby to get used to the corners, then 3 laps in the Gallardo, and they were alright, let me boot it on the straights etc.

Another point... Do you have a choice of manual or auto/flappy paddle? Or is it basically you get what you're given?

i did a Ferrari experince at Rockingham, manual gearbox, nice circuit and great chance to open her up on the straights.
the days are long, lots of hurry up and wait, but it has given me reason to look at Rockingham in my own car!
