The Main Event

This is your chance to get behind the wheel of not one, but two legendary machines, each with its own story, style, and soundtrack.

First up, the iconic Shelby GT500 Mustang, inspired by the famous “Eleanor” from Gone in 60 Seconds. With a supercharged V8 pushing out over 500bhp and a 0–60 time of just 3.5 seconds, it’s built for raw, straight-line power and thrilling acceleration. It’s loud, aggressive, and guaranteed to get your heart racing.

Then there’s the Ford Mustang Bullitt, a tribute to the legendary car driven by Steve McQueen in the classic film Bullitt. Finished in that signature dark green and packed with V8 muscle, this Mustang blends old-school cool with upgraded performance. It’s all about that deep rumble, smooth handling, and the feeling of being part of something iconic.

Your day starts with a 30-minute briefing covering racing lines, braking techniques, and track safety. Then you’ll head out for four sighting laps, including a high-speed passenger ride that shows you exactly what these cars can do in expert hands.

Choose between the 8-lap experience, which includes four driving laps, or go for the 12-lap option and enjoy eight laps in your chosen Mustang. With a professional instructor by your side, you’ll get guidance and confidence to make the most of every lap.

Set on a high-quality circuit just outside London, this experience lets you take these machines out on a proper track. With a mix of corners and straights, you’ll have the chance to feel the power, test your control, and enjoy every second behind the wheel.

Perfect for film fans, car lovers, or anyone who enjoys a bit of American muscle, this is a gift that delivers noise, power, and unforgettable fun.

What about Insurance?

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover.

Some operators require customers to complete an indemnity/damage waiver form prior to taking the experience. This may state the driver is liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most operators are able to provide additional insurance to cover this at a small additional fee, payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the public liability insurance held by all venues. The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver and additional insurance will be provided by the activity operator. WonderDays is unable to advise or comment on the content or suitability of any such waiver or additional insurance.

How it Works

All you have to do is pay for the experience you wish to purchase and we’ll send a voucher and booking information to you or directly to the recipient, then you just need to check the info and book your experience.

You can wear your own helmet as long as it has the relevant Kite Mark.

What happens if you damage the car?

As there is an inherent risk in any motorsport activity, we ask participants to be aware of these risks and take appropriate measures to maintain their own safety, by adhering to the conditions and following the instructors guidance.

Responsibility for the costs of repair will be amended as listed below notwithstanding the Damage Liability section of these terms and conditions.

The damage waiver is void if a car is driven negligently or dangerously or if the instructions of Drift Limits staff are disregarded.
