Question
Is there a track that amatuers can go to race F1 cars in England, more specifically around the London area?
Thanks for your question Mindy. Hope the following helps.
There's 2 solutions, to get an F1 car and take it to an open track day, or hire an F1 car for a track day. I presume it's the latter you're interested in.
There's a few companies running F1 track days as 'corporate gift pacakages' but these don't tend to be in the London area unfortunately and a lot of the adverts end up referring to the same 2 packages, one in Lancashire, the other at Mallory Park Leicestershire.
Examples are:
Wigan, Lancashire (£1290) see http://www.passport2sport.co.uk/driving_experiences.htm
Mallory Park Leicestershire (from £1290) see
http://www.passport2sport.co.uk/driving_experiences.htm
http://www.buyagift.co.uk/products/2085.htm
Lancs/Derbs (£1350)
http://www.buyagift.co.uk/products/1014.htm
Mallory Park Leicestershire (2 day package, £1250)

Alternatives include:
South of France package:

After this I couldn't easily find anything else but suspect there coiuld be a few alternatives, but nothing at all at Silverstone of Brands Hatch seemingly.

| Comment | I must say I was more than pleased with the response I received from Adam. The information I requested was in regards to a private auto racing experience as a gift for a friend. It was also in another country. I had been pouring over the internet running out of time and hope. Adam responded quickly and with several options, frankly, I was shocked. Thank you so so much.

Expertise
I`m a big F1 fan and have been since the early 80s. I read weekly European specialist F1 press and keep on top of what`s happening in F1, such as results and testing, team politics, what drivers are saying etc. I`m especially a follower of the French Prost (formally Ligier) team and am also involved in karting and sports car racing in England.
Experience
Writing accounts of the performance of the (then)Ligier team during Grand Prix meetings. Organinsing karting competitions for 300+ drivers and of course being an Allexperts Formula One expert
