    Lambo track experience - help choosing venue

    I need to make sure I get the most out of a track experience. It is for 4 laps in a Murcielago

    I can choose between the following tracks:

    Prodrive's circuit, Coventry
    Longmarston, Conventry
    Elvington, Yorks
    Bruntingthorpe, Leics

    As this is my first supercar experience and real trackday, I am anticipating a mixture of excitement and fear when I step into the Lambo.


    I can go in the months of Sep, Oct, Nov or hold off until Mar-Jun 09.



    Does anyone have suggestions for the best track and month/weather combinations?

    i think brunters will be crap, as there are strict noise limits and its really bumpy.

    Elvington is meant to be pretty good. Not been there, but heard good reports.

    Brunters is pretty poor surface and is only really an old aircraft strip (two straights and two bends), ive never used any of the others but surely prodrives circuit must be pretty good?

    I went there for an subaru day and they said the track was deliberately left a bit bumpy etc so they can do more "real life" tests. having said that it wasn't massively bumpy, but not as smooth as a proper circuit

    Prodrive it is, can either go September-October, even November or hold on til next year - but that's gonna take some will-power!

    Any tips on how the weather will turn?
