Here are some of our favourite Driving Experiences
Ferrari Thrill
With this Ferrari Thrill you will get the chance to appreciate the evocative Ferrari – one of the most famous names in super cars! Their racing success has been the inspiration for a succession of glorious road cars. These cars naturally have racing in their blood; the Ferrari offers awesome handling and performance – you won’t be racing, but all that race-inspired performance will be in your hands!

Silverstone Single Seater Thrill
The Formula Silverstone Single-Seaters are the real deal, punchy engine, aerodynamic wings and a lightweight streamlined body. You can see the wheels move around, hear the wail of the engine and feel every detail of the track surface; this is what it feels like to qualify for the British Grand Prix! Everyone should drive a single-seater at least once in their life; this is your chance to drive one at Silverstone for 20 minutes.

Skid Control Experience
It’s all angles, all action and lots of fun as you gain driving skills that could one day save your life. Your reflexes and co-ordination will be tested to the full as you learn the advanced techniques to counter act understeer and oversteer in a simulated loss-of-control situation. Instruction and training on the effective handling of a road vehicle in a skid situation. Click here for more information on the Skid Control Experience
Tank Paintball
Experience the fun and excitement of driving a tank over a variety of challenging courses set in a World War II bombing range. As a crew of three, take it in turns to negotiate the tricky tank course and engage in all-out armoured warfare with your 40mm paintball cannon against your opponent!

Ariel Atom
This is your chance to get behind the wheel and experience the thrill of driving this amazing high-speed open-top race car! Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson described his experience in an Atom as “The time of my life!”
These remarkable cars are all built by hand in a tiny workshop in Somerset, and usually come with a hefty price tag. And as less than 100 are purchased each year, you’re about to enjoy a very exclusive driving experience indeed. The specifications of this unique road-legal racing car are impressive: a 160 bhp 2-litre Honda iVTEC engine in a vehicle weighing only 456kg (that’s just over 1000lb!); a 5-speed gearbox, and the ability to go from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds. The controls are simple enough for anyone familiar with standard road cars, but the Atom handles just like a single-seater, so it’s about as close to a genuine road-going racecar experience as you’re ever likely to get!

Classic Car Experience
Take your pick of the finest classic cars around. You could be whizzing along in an E Type Jaguar, or bombing along the straights in a stunning Aston Martin DB6 or DB4. How about taking the D Type Jaguar through its paces, or trying to beat the stopwatch in a Cobra V8 or classic Porsche 911? Maybe choose an experienced instructor driving a Jaguar Mk II, as driven by Morse in the hit TV show! Or perhaps you’ll want to go for the timeless classic the Austin Healey. Decisions, decisions! Whatever cars or location you choose, you’ll drive some genuine, motoring classics and have your desire for nostalgia justly satisfied. Click for more information on the Classic Car Experience
Driving a Formula One Racing Car
F1 is the ultimate driving experience. So, imagine the thrill of being able to drive a genuine ex-Grand Prix car on a real racetrack! Take a corner imagining you are being pursued by Button, or speed down the straights with Schumacher in your sights! This unique experience will give you an insight into the world of Formula 1 and the exhilaration and skill of being an F1 driver!
