From experience I would recommend the single seater, I have had a go in a ferrari and it was great but much like every other car but better, the single seaters are something else.

You are pretty much sat on the floor, you only have a helmet stopping the wind, they grip like nothing I have every felt and the engine in right behind you screaming when you floor it.

I may go back and have a go with the rally cars next time if not the single seaters again.

Is there not a skid pan option? If so go for that, you will learn so much and it will make you a better driver. Don't do the Farrari, there shite, no where near what you think they'll be like.

I did a single seater at Silverstone last year.
the rush was immense.

Plus points:

- Raw and quickest accelerating out of all cars on offer
- No instructor
- Longer on track

I had similar options to you...

Cheers

I'd go for the single seater, I drove a Porsche, Ferrari 355, and F430 and single seater.. and the single seater is probably the best because you can drive it off the limiter and you can just boot it, and its so awesome as Percy said, sat low, noise behind, and its a great feeling, the problem with driving with an instructor is you end up changing gear at like 3-4000RPM, and you don't feel the real power of the car.

ive don the group n rally in the st and it was awesome to say the least, plus you get more time driving the car in stead of being stuck in the classroom and it works out better value for money too, but tbh any of them would probably be an amazing day

You have to take the single seater as me and Meilack agreed on the same thing...

That only happens when all the planets align!
