    Anyone booked / done their Experience Day??

    Luton is nearest for us. But I see it only has 5km of tracks. So thinking of going to Eastnor.

    Yes, I did mine a few ago at the one near Honiton.

    Have done it before, but still good fun.

    One tip for new owners, you do not have to wait for the invite from LR, you can just phone the centre you are interested in.

    Luton Hoo is the most disappointing LRE I have been to, even the small Solihull factory LRE manages to be way more exciting and challenging than Luton Hoo. I've done Dunkeld, Halewood (even smaller than Luton Hoo and Solihull and a total waste of a voucher, but my visit was a freebie), Eastnor and the West Country. If you can, use your voucher for Eastnor, West Country or Dunkeld.

    Yet to get one, perhaps it could be because I didn't use the last 3.

    I have done Dunkeld in Perthshire 4 times. Shows what the cars are capable of doing. Really good track and good instructors. Also done the 4x4 track at Knockhill twice. Used the Isuzu Troopers they had. Not as good or luxurious as the LR but a decent workhorse all the same. Pleasantly surprised what the trooper could achieve with its basic switchable 4x2 system.

    Mind you at least it never broke down!!! Shocked

    LR North America have just announced an Owners Day for 30 July. There are 4 Experience Centers in the whole of North America. I am lucky as the only Canadian one is about an hour from where I live. Still waiting for the freebe to arrive in the post.

    Blackfly, you may have a long wait. It seems these days that you have to remind the dealers (they pay for them in the end anyway). There is a recent thread over on RRSport.co.uk where members have phoned the LRE centre to ask and have been asked for their car's registration or VIN and the LRE has sent out the tickets direct after running a check that they haven't already had a freebie for that car.

    Thanks for that very useful. Somewhat ironic really as my dealer used LRE staff for the launch day.

    Yes,if you buy from a main dealer. We contacted the experience centre and told them about our purchase and then booked up. I belive the dealer is supposed to send you a voucher but ours never arrived.
