Aston Martin Thrill...
For Father's Day, my kids clubbed together and bought me an "Aston Martin Thrill" track day experience. I was completely surprised and very happy with them and tbh, I'd rather put someone else's car around a track than my own M3.
I need some help choosing a location for this experience. The track choices I have been given are... Prestwold Hall, Leicestershire Great Tew, Oxfordshire Teeside, County Durham Elvington, Yorkshire Corby, Norhamptonshire Wigan, Lancashire Donington, Derbyshire Silverstone, Northamptonshire I live south east of London, so realistically I'm not going to travel way up north for this. Therefore, which of the more southerly tracks listed would people recommend for this experience? Is Silverstone likely to be the best? Thanks in advance. |

I know it's off your list, but don't do Elvington. It has exceptional run off areas (ask Richard Hammond...) but it's not a track.
It's a coned off Airfield pan and runway section. Great for VMax runs, but not for a 'track experience'. +1 on Silverstone.. You probably won't do the full GP circuit, but close enough. You can always say you've driven some famous corners... |

Now you've made Carlos sad.
Anyway, hope you have fun. Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down.

I only have the choice of Elvington or Teeside autodrome and certainly would prefer not to be an airfield if poss.
