Just received a driving experience for birthday. There's 6 choices of track - Prestwold Hall, Bruntingthrope, Long Marston, Donington, Chobham & Rockingham.
Which is best to use? Bearing in mind, depending on location, u may only get one lap
Thanks for any info

Donington is excellent. Rockingham and Bruntingthorpe are boring, not heard of the others.

Donington without question.
Rockingham as a second choice.
The others are airfields.

PS if you get chance to take out the £20 optional insurance TAKE IT
my mate nearly didnt and crashed one of the formula fords would have cost him a could few grand if he hadnt taken the 20 quid insurance

But do you get to hammer it around or is it like your first driving lesson where the instructer does the pedals for you
Not speaking from experience.

mate wasnt keen on the supercars, said they hardly let you do anything with them and keep braking for you in the corners,
he said the forumla fords were good though until he crashed
in his defence it was wet and his first time out

i've done 2. first one was an f430 scuderia and had a young instructor, let me give it the beans.
2nd was an aston v8 vantage, old instructor, made me drive like a granny.
depends who you get and how confident you come across to the instructor.
