Driving Experience Recommendation/Help

Post by Gayno » Tue May 28, 2013 3:43 pm

My boss has asked me to look into some form of driving experience/day that he is looking to treat us all to this summer.

He doesn't want something like a supercar experience as that's a) expensive and b) individual.

It doesn't have to be team building specific, but something like a 4x4 experience where we are in groups in the one vehicle and each get a turn at driving is an idea.

I have also considered going a little off the wall and looking into an off road Segway rally - this could be really fun.

Obivously cost is a consideration, I don't have a budget, but obviously he won't pay £100 per head for something that only last 10 minutes.

Any ideas/recommendations? Preferably in/around the Bristol area as that is where we are all located.

Stunt driving experience day at the northampton stock car circuit was an amazing day.

We did loads of stuff and it was all educational, mostly...

handbrake turns
J turns
weird skid tipping vans that were FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE not to laugh so hard you forgot to drive.
double decker racing (like they did on topgear with the two cars on top of each other 8-) )
push me pull me cars (weird and good for team building)
and a final paintball chase. you have to try and catch a guy in an old micra with a rwd sierra banger while shooting at targets as you go past.

Bit of lunch and prizes at the end.

great day out and varied in its approach. Was fair few girls there and they were enjoying it too just in case you had some knocking about the office making sandwiches like ;)

I was going to suggest this too, my mate did a off road tank driving experience last year and said it was a hoot.

Went paintballing once and there was a bunch of guys next to us doing this:

They were having a great time and none of them had done it before. Looked hilarious.

If you could convince him to look for something more expensive, have a look at Palmer Sport.

Have done it as part of a team building day through work, absolutely awesome :D
