What is a Supercar Driving Experience?
A supercar driving experience gives you the chance to get behind the wheel of some of the world’s most iconic performance cars, from Ferraris to Lamborghinis. Usually set on racetracks or purpose-built circuits, these sessions let you test speed, handling, and acceleration under the guidance of professional instructors. Some packages even include a high speed passenger ride, where you can feel the car pushed to its absolute limits by an expert driver.
Pros
Drive world-famous marques like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin.
Thrill of racetrack speeds and precision handling.
Guidance from professional instructors to maximise performance.
Option for a high speed passenger ride for extra adrenaline.
Perfect for petrolheads and speed lovers.
Cons
Often shorter driving time than expected (limited laps).
Limited to track or circuit settings, with no variety in terrain.
A classic car driving experience is all about nostalgia and style, offering the chance to take the wheel of beautifully restored vintage icons such as Mustangs, E-Types, Minis, and even the Aston Martin Vantage. These drives are more relaxed than racetrack sessions, focusing on the pure joy of motoring history. Whether it’s cruising scenic countryside roads or enjoying a few laps in a retro legend, it’s an unforgettable experience that combines charm, elegance, and a sense of stepping back in time.

Cons

An off-road driving experience swaps tarmac for adventure, challenging you to navigate rough and rugged terrain in vehicles built for the job.

FAQs
Are driving experience days worth it? Yes, driving experiences are absolutely worth it if you want to do something different and memorable. They give you access to cars and settings most people never get the chance to try, from tearing around a racetrack in a Ferrari to tackling mud tracks in a Land Rover. They also make fantastic gifts, offering an unforgettable experience that’s much more exciting than another “thing” that might gather dust.
How does a driving experience work? When you book, you’ll usually receive a voucher that can be redeemed on a chosen date. On the day, you’ll be welcomed by staff, given a safety briefing, and paired with professional instructors who guide you through handling the car. Depending on your package, you’ll get a set amount of laps, timed sessions, or off-road routes to complete, with the option of extras like a high speed passenger ride.
Do I need a driving licence? Most experiences require a full UK driving licence, but some junior packages are available for younger drivers without one. Always check the specific requirements before booking.
Can I bring passengers or spectators? Yes, most venues allow spectators, and many offer facilities like cafés and viewing areas.
What should I wear for a driving experience? Comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes are best, as they give you good control on the pedals. For off-road driving, expect to get a little muddy, so waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are a smart choice.
What’s the minimum age or height requirement? This varies by provider, but most adult packages require drivers to be at least 17 with a valid licence. Junior packages are available for children as young as 10, subject to height restrictions (often around 4'10" / 147cm).
