I was looking at doing the Lotus Elise Handling activity at Silverstone and was wondering if anyone has been there? Or are there any better lotus driving days out there?

I did one a couple of years ago at Silverstone(I didn't know they were still running) and would thoroughly recommend it. I had a fantastic time. Rob Barff (TVR Le Mans 2003) was runnning my course.

Basic format is driver briefing 30/40 mins then out onto the track. Two drivers are assigned to each car taking it alternately in two sessions of 3 or 4 laps each with an instructor.

Finally instructor takes you round for a sideways demonstration! It really makes you appreciate just how good F1 drivers are, that low to the ground you don't see half the corners coming.
