now that sounds fun! if a little pricey

Ive seen track days cost more and that doesn't include tuition. I'd love to have a go round dunsfold too. Sadly, I need the cash to get my engine running.

Yeah just re- read it slowly and noticed it only lasts 2 hrs, but still think it would be a laugh, especially if you get a copy of the video, imagine doing a michael gambon in a 7

Just read some of the contributions on the PH forum. God there's some whingy b***ers on there. Couldn't resist adding mt two pence worth.

I've driven the track at dunsfold on a Lancer Register day.

I got 4 laps of the circuit and to be honest although it was a fun experience I wouldn't do it again, the time you get on the track means you'll never learn the circuit enough to have a real go.

It's a very challenging drive with some very challenging corners and the follow through at 110 is damned scary

You can beat them if you like. So long as it's consensual.

I cannot believe their price.There is no way in the world they can justify charging £222 for 2 hours. How much does that work out to in terms of track-time per pound. They are not even using their cars. When I worked at Bedford Autodrome the circuit was hired out and probably still is, for Summer's evenings at less than that with instructors on hand if required. there's acres of run-off, a 3 mile circuit and a straight long enough to max anything. Now that's value!!
