Driver day at a UK circuit... for a tall person...

Post

Can anyone recommend a circuit for a driver's day in the UK? I'm in Leeds so anywhere from Midlands to North East would be good.

I was wanting to do one of those days when you try several cars on the circuit. The small hitch is that I'm just under 6'7". That means Silverstone would only let me get into a Ford Fiesta (rally) and or a Megane on the skid pan. :(

I wouldn't be allowed in the supercars (Ferrari, Lambo, Exige, Vantage) or the single seaters. :(

I was really hoping I could get a feel for what it is like to drive a fast car on the circuit to make watching F1 more interesting. Turns out they won't even allow me to get into any car that goes on the circuit. :evil:

I'd look at Bedford Autodrome, or Rockingham Personally. Bedford has a really great number of layouts and if you're took your own car you'd be pleased to know that there is a seemingly infinite amount of run off. Having said that... It's still about 3hours away from leeds...

3 Sisters?

Oulton?

Croft?

I'll be honest tho i don't know about height restrictions
