Track drive in a reasonably priced car
Discussion
I'm considering a drive experience for a birthday, however I've driven fast cars and been a passenger also around a track and I don't see the appeal
I think a "star in a reasonably priced car" experience (ALA old Top Gear) would be more satisfying as it's likely to be near the car's limits, rather than the supercar which is unlikely to be anywhere near them. Anyway, It seems the Dunsfold track used by Top Gear used to run one up until a couple of years ago. Anyone know where I can drive "a reasonably priced car" around the track?

Go to a Rally School for the day.
From my experience, £XXX gets you 15 minutes (if your lucky) in a completely shagged 'supercar', with an instructor holding you back at all times, shifting early etc.
The same £XXX at a Rally school got me as much driving as I could manage in a 1400 Corsa, then an 2000cc Astra, then a Subaru, on proper rally stages, bouncing off the redline all day, on the magic wand into hairpins, instructor screaming 'more power' etc...
Miles better fun.

I'd tend to agree with that, I did a quick Lamborghini experience, at the end of it he asked me what I thought, blunt response was that I think your Gallardo is f
did this years ago and it was pretty good fun

Rent a Caterham with Bookatrack?
I've done caterhams, lotus etc - I want something that's easy to crash 
If you can't manage to get your own car near a limit and enjoy it, you either don't like track days or the car isn't fun to drive at the limit - either way, you get an answer to the question of what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy caterhams or lotus on track I'm not sure you are going to find anything that satisfies you...
