Sadly, I can't do it but wish I could. 
 
Basically, it costs £95 for half a day, you can drive (for 90 mins   ) in any VXR of your choice, 90 mins of other stuff, at a race track of your choice. 
 
If you go on to buy a VXR car, you get the £95 refunded   
 
I'm not 21 and am gutted.

Every session includes the following: 
instruction by professional drivers  
a full safety briefing  
a buffet lunch  
a chance to experience the entire VXR range  
90 minutes of track time  
90 minutes of handling activities 
   
 
sounds pretty cool that

In the email it said VXR of your choice, to actually drive. Then you'll be a passenger in all other VXR's!

Presumably it'l only be in the Astra, Corsa, Meriva and Zafira. The others are out of production, and being as it's a publicity/marketing thing, they're not gonna waste their money letting you drive something they can't sell you  .

Forgot about that - thought there were 5 on the VXR site but didnt think they'd took the Monaro off yet  . 
 
Tempted to have it for my birthday, but wanna know how much of the 90 mins i'll actually spend behind the wheel  .

Anyone found out if it is 90 mins driving as they say "90 mins on track" 
 
That could be as a passenger!

Nah, there's nothing on that bit of the site to contact them about it.  
 
I'd imagine with it being a marketing thing, it should be 90 mins behind the wheel, but i want confirmation before i book it!

Corsasport.co.uk VXR track day???!!! 
 
Don't see why you got to be 21. I done the Ferrari track day at 18. 
 
I'd be opting for the monaro, drove my cousins none VXR one and that was mucho fun never mind the VXR around the track. 
 
  
 
£95 if thats 90mins of actual driving its a bargain.

Becuse the chances of people under 21 being able to buy/insure any VXR are slim, and they want to sell cars and reach their target age range, not give you something to talk to your mates about  .

Which is the precise reason I'd go   
 
Mind you, I do hope to be a VXR owner one day
