Just been for my MINI experience around a rather wet Donnington Park! It was great fun and I was amazed at how much grip the car had even in these conditions. Think I'll be booking a few track days once the warranty runs out on the MINI! (Check me out looking nervous in the pictures!)

It was a gift voucher, think it cost about £60, and in my opinion well worth it!

Glad you had fun!

I did the Donnington Experience in the Ferrari 360, MG ZR and Formula Ford.

Also a Hot Lap in the Lotus Elise.

Amazing Day! I really thought i would have liked the Ferrari the most, but when i turned up the Formula Ford was amazing! It felt as close as i could get to F1, and looking left and right and seeing two tires and smelling that petrol from the Formula Ford in front

I would recommend it to anyone

Highlight of my morning was blasting past the Ferrari 360 and Formula Fords, in the wet the MINI ruled!

I did the Drivers Dream Day thing at Bruntingthorpe (nr Leicester)in April (on an unseasonably very hot day!).

Had the familiarisation laps as a passenger in a Scooby Doo and then went out accompanied in a Ferrari 360 and then a Lamborghini Murcielago - a fantastic experience.

Mrs SSL asked if it was a come down driving home in our R56 MC and I thought, no - a smaller, less powerful car maybe, but it seemed to have as much prestige, status and desiribality as the Italian supercars!
