Driving Experience Days

 

Your experience begins with a short safety briefing before a qualified instructor takes you on two demonstration laps in a hot hatch so you can learn the racing lines and circuit driving techniques on this 1.8 mile circuit. Next take the wheel of an Italian Ferrari classic in either a Ferrari 328 or Ferrari 355 for four high speed laps. Once you've got your breath back, you'll move on to the 'must have' American muscle car - the supercharged 6-litre V12 Hummer H2 - for a further four laps. These two very different cars will give you a completely different ride, with your instructor encouraging you all the way. You'll finish with a debrief and certificate presentation.

Experience the glamorous world of international espionage by indulging the fantasy with this great day playing at secret agents. After a full briefing learn some of the skills employed by secret agents all over the world, head to the firing ranges and learn how to shoot automatic pistols and sniper rifles. Then move onto axe throwing (for goodness' sake don't try this at home), unarmed combat and covert surveillance, using cameras and bugs. Then try evasive driving - including J turns, handbrake turns and anti-ambush drills. Finish off at the 'drive in' pistol range, firing at targets from a moving vehicle, before screeching to a halt, jumping out of the car for more shooting and then speeding off. Throughout the day you'll be supervised by instructors who have first-hand experience of carrying out surveillance operations. Please be aware that no live ammunition or weapons are used in any of the activities, in order to fully comply with current legislation.

Your experience includes tuition and rally driving around a specially-prepared rally stage. At some venues you'll also be chauffeured around a stage by your instructor at competition speeds, just to show you how it's done. The itinerary and the make of car you drive will vary from venue to venue, from a range which includes the Peugeot 206, the ever-popular Ford Escort MkII or Ford Focus, Ford Sierra or VW Polo.

The Ferrari F430 is one of the finest sports cars in the world, and driving it is an intense pleasure. It has a 4.3 litre V8 engine producing 483bhp, combined with astonishing road-holding and manoeuvrability. You'll kick off with a briefing, then your instructor will drive you for three laps in a Mazda 3 MPS to familiarise you with the driving lines of the circuit. Next you'll swap over to the driving seat for four laps in a Porsche Cayman. Then at last you'll slip behind the wheel of the all-aluminium F430 for four mind-blowing laps. Be warned, this car is capable of 0-60 mph in under four seconds and has a top speed of almost 200mph; it's not for the faint-hearted. You'll finish driving five laps in a Formula Renault single-seater - sitting two inches off the ground, with lightning-quick steering and braking, this little dynamo of a car gives a totally different ride to the Ferrari.
