Was going to buy my boyfriend a rally driving day as a present.. Not sure where the best ones are though, has anyone done one of these before or have any idea where any good ones are?

Think from memory it was £200. That goes a long way though when you think of what it costs the track to run an event like that. I thought it was worth it.

How old do you have to be to get a passenger lap at knockhill in the focus and how long does it last?

I think they let pretty much any age go though if your under 16 you needed parents to sign a disclaimer. Doesnt last long, 5-10 minutes, it was alright, I tolk the boy I drove a scooby so he could do his best to scare me

The focus was just there in addition to the rally experience id already bought. It was there incase anyone wanted a go Tenner a lap, I dont think you can just book a lap in the focus.

Q. Is there an age restriction?
A. Yes for all driving experiences drivers must 17 yrs + with a full licence. Passenger rides for children are suitable for 8 yrs + (min. 4ft 2")

Track day for his own car?
What car does he have, would it be up to getting hammered round a track. Remember going round a track lap after lap is heavy on the brakes & tyres, also he would need to have insurance for the day incase anything went wrong. Could be costly. If it was me id rather go round in their cars give them abuse rather than taking mine, unless it was equiped for track.
