The UK seems to have no shortage of track days for average joes, and here's another: Top Gear currently has a contest going where you can enter to win a day at TG's test track in Surrey. Under the guidance of The Stig, you will learn the fastest way around the 2.0-mile course in a Nissan 370Z.
If you don't get one of the 20 slots at the June 15 trackday, there's an additional opportunity. Top Gear will set you up with a 370Z for 2 weeks, at the end of which time you'll be asked to write an article on the car for the TG magazine. Will you write with the brutality of Clarkson or the care of Paul Horrell?
Well, neither really unless you're a resident of the UK -- a requirement for both contests.

Mike, I'll grab a Power Ranger costume and stop by.

But if he can't talk, how is he supposed to teach you how to drive?

Boo, I lived in the UK only 2 years ago. This is almost enough to move back for.
