which track peeps?
Also, do you think will be worth upgrading £20.00, so £60.00 in total to drive these 3 - 570 s, Huracan and 458 -along with two from Aston Martin/R8/Porsche 911/i8?
If dont pay the upgrade fee can still drive Gallardo LP560-4 and Ferrari California...

Sorry - never having been to either, but have been to many other UK circuits in my car & on experience days. Of the two, Oulton looks more exciting. Changes of elevation & such, whereas Rockingham is 'just' an oval with an infield... I just mean Oulton will feel like a more exhilarating experience (instructors dependent of course...).
Spend the extra too - you'll regret not driving those cars!
-
How long do you get in each car? I looked into one of these Super car experiences a few years ago and it seemed like it was more talk than action. 15 mins in the cars tops, and limited to 4000rpm or something. Meh.

Do one on a purpose built "supercar day" track... not a "proper" track. Youll spend all the time figuring out the track rather than having fun.
The most fun I have had in a car was on this basic track in a Ferrari F430 challenge.

You can learn the track in 1-2 sighting laps, then actually enjoy driving the cars.

Slightly off topic.....
If you ever find yourself with cash to burn, a Palmersport day is about as good as you can get in the UK:
http://www.palmersport.com/full-day-programme.aspx
M4 GTP, Caterham, Atom, Jag LeMans, Formula3000. All where you're encouraged to hit the cars hard, and taught by people who know how to drive. Great day out.....although better if you can get someone else to pay for it! The F3000 was incredible.
-
cheers chaps, yeah will pay the extra i think.
Oulton is very popular so no dates till October!

Was about £850 ish per person as I recall for the full day, that was 4 or so years ago. Superb day though.

Not that off putting , imho. Hiring supercar for the weekend is more than that....and you can only drive on the road.

Ive ended up at Mallory Park in Leicestershire due to a better date - anyone been round that track?

I would recommend Rockingham out of the two, been on that experience before decent plus I would upgrade its definitely worth it. I would also say I've done a few supercar (https://www.super-car-hire.co.uk/supercars/) experiences, one of the best I've , it isn't as cheap but you get a lot for your money, is at Donington Park, this is the experience I did it with https://www.super-car-hire.co.uk/driving-experiences/ (https://www.super-car-hire.co.uk/driving-experiences/). Out of all of them this was best service and the selection was a lot better than others, well first of all you could pick which doesn't happen often. :happy2:

i have done this recently at mallory park , the laps go really quick, 3 per car , didnt even think to look at the speedo. nice shortish track and well organised . i paid for a fast lap with one of their instructors in a vauxhall which was a real eye opener on how the pros do it worth it but over very quick , i also did a lap first , (they filled the car with 4 of us) just to see the track before driving it. for the record the instructors fave was the audi. as for upgrading , i dont think you are in the car long enough to relax into them and get a feel of each different one , enjoy it .

yeah cheers should be a good experience, moved back to August bank holiday now
