Silverstone isn't far away, obviously. You could contact Octagon Motorsport.

www.octagonmotorsports.com

Does he/do you have a car you intend to take yourselves or do you want to rent one. As a surprise I'd have thought driving someone else's car was a good idea. Octagon ain't cheap for what you get but they can certainly help you...

Sorry. Didn't read the 8th June thing. Getting a specific date might be hard. Why not use this site's track day calendar....

There's an event at Colerne on the 3rd of June and one at Llandow (just into Wales) on the 8th.

I live near Oxford. Tracks that I use, apart from Silverstone and Bedford, are all 1.5 hours plus driving time away. Looks like days in June are limited to Southern tracks, Castle Coombe (1.5 hours drive), Goodwood (up to 2 hours drive). Both have days in late June. There is an evening event at Donington June 7th (1.75 hours drive). Really any track isn't too far, Rockingham is under 2 hours, Brands Hatch can be reached in well under 2 hours, as can Thruxton. Mallory and Oulton Pk 3 hours. Even Pembrey isn't too bad a journey. Cadwell is a bit of a drag to get to from Oxford, although Snetterton can be reached in under 3 hours. Croft is a long return journey to do in one day (750 miles including track miles). Knockhill can only be done on a 'stay away trip'.
