The Main Event

Ever wondered, how hard can it really be to drive a truck? Well now its your chance to find out!

Its time for you to saddle up behind a monster of a vehicle and reign it in to take control.

Think you’ve got what it takes to reign the beast? This day is perfect for the competitive type! Please note that the 20 minute session includes all time in the cab including a quick talk through the controls and also any of your own photo taking opportunities.

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.

Yes, all instructors have completed training to ensure that they can work with people with additional needs such as ADHD, autism and visual impairment.

How long do I drive for?

For each supercar experience that you purchase, you will be allocated three miles per car. For example, if you purchase the triple supercar experience you will be allocated 9 miles in total. How long you are physically on the track really depends on how fast you want to drive!

What do I need to wear?

Please be aware that all driving experiences are completely outdoors and open to the elements. It's always worth packing a coat or umbrella even if the forecast looks sunny as airfields and circuits tend to be very windy!

Drivers should wear sensible shoes or trainers for driving and comfy trousers. Legs must be fully covered if you're driving the Shelby Cobra or Mustang GT350 as these cars have side exit exhausts that get very warm!

Do all cars run in the rain?

Yes, events are run in all weathers unless it is deemed so extreme that it is unsafe to be on the track.

Do I have to drive quickly?

Not at all, the trainers will help you enjoy the drive however you would like to.

Are the cars dual control?

As we use real cars which are driven with pedals, some cars will use dual pedal control, and some will have a handle that can be pulled for an emergency stop if danger arises.
