10 laps driving (Track 3)

The driving experience starts by heading into a DVD briefing which runs through the theory of driving on a race track along with the safety aspects of the day. Once the briefing is done, then it’s off to the pit lane where the fun starts!! Your on-track V8 experience starts by getting suited up in our race suit and race boots then into our tuition car for an introduction lap around the circuit with one of our in-car consultants talking you around the track while you’re in the passenger seat. This will give you an idea of what to expect and what you’ve got yourself in for!!! And if you want, you can take a spectator along for the ride so they can experience the thrill of being on a racetrack.

Includes a Certificate and Photo

With your laps complete but your heart still racing, you head back to the pitlane where you receive a presentation pack including certificate complete with your fastest laptime as proof that it wasn’t just a dream.
