Description

Instead of taking to the wheel of a fast car yourself, why not kick back and let a qualified instructor do all the hard work, so you can enjoy the thrill of being a passenger on a high-speed drive for two laps around the Donington Park circuit in Derbyshire? Head around the Grand Prix loop of the track in either a Lotus Elise, Abarth 500 or Alfa Romeo Giulietta and experience the flexible configuration with extensive run-off areas, allowing the instructor to put the pedal to the metal and full exploit the powerful V8 touring car’s potential. Fasten the seat belt and hold tight!
