Have you tried Brands Hatch?

I would go to Bedford as it is a massive circuit and nothing to hit (huge runoffs)

Brands hatch GP circuit is good but Indy less so as corners tame!

Brands very rarely does full GP for track day, i think they have 2 this year, and usually its for the bikers only.

Indy circuit is good. Phone em up and get booked in on a novice day. get an instructor with you. A proper track day will be better as its more of an exeprience as you get to see the over fast cars too. Brands is good starter as its nice and simple and has one of the best pit areas

I'm doing a novice track day next Thursday at Snetterton in my MINI Cooper. I booked it through Motorsport vision.
