Are they all pretty much the same but obviously different layout or are some more exciting than others/longer etc.
Has anyone been to the Gaydon site? If so as that is where LR R& D is done do you get any'er better Experience etc?

They all have their own characteristics and some have more off road routes than others. However, the package they deliver is pretty much laid down by LR but adapted for local conditions. The standard format for a 1/2 day is:
short presentation on H&S, technology and off road driving skills.
on road drive
off road demonstration drive by instructor
off road drive by customer (s)
Luton Hoo is quite a compact site compared to most of the others and East of England (Rockingham) has plenty of tracks on which to try your skills. The old site at Milton Keynes was also quite interesting.
AFAIK.You can't use free vouchers at Gaydon but you do get to use some of the R&D site and may or may not see some of the develpment vehicles while there.

Should you wish to try an Si4 then there is one at Rockingham at the moment. It is an Si4 Prestige rather than a Dynamic but it will give you a good idea of what the Si4 can do off road. For the best experience ask for Luke - he's a real Evoque enthusiast and knows the vehicle.
