I've been asked to organise a corporate day out for my team (approx 20 people). At the moment people seem to be quite keen on a driving day. I've only found 2 decent looking ones... PalmerSport or the Silverstone Challenge... they're both quote pricey and I don't like the fact that its 7-8 cars in one day... It's far to hectic for my liking.

Has anyone got any good suggestions / experiences? Ideally it needs to be somewhere close to London. I know there are loads of companys who do these types of corporate events but I'd much rather go with estabished names that specialise in motorsports.

I've done the Palmersport day before, and it's fantastic. Although you do a fair few cars in a day, you never feel rushed, and you get enough time to feel at home in the cars before you move on. In some ways it's better than a single car as you get to drive more, and some of the cars are fairly special and not the kind of thing you are likely to have driven before...

for some more info on the day :)

I think Rockingham do a similar day that's a bit cheaper, and with only one or two cars for the whole day, might also be worth investigating...

Silverstone isn't cheap but it's VERY well organised and you don't feel rushed round at all :no: :D

Brands do them if you want somewhere close to London

Don't forget, for a corporate day, most of these companies will tailor a course to suit your needs, so if you want more time in any one particular car, or more time with one particular activity you can arrange it.

I could probably get you something of a deal on Palmersports day ;)

Drop me a PM if you're interested and I'll give you some contact deals of one of their instructors :thumbs:
