Description

Marvel at the imperious speed and handling of some of the world’s greatest supercars in one day, with a Lamborghini versus Ferrari driving thrill at Stafford Activity Centre’s mile-long race circuit. Have ample time to get to know the feel of the Ferrari 430 and the Lamborghini Gallardo – both with top speeds approaching a knee-trembling 200 mph. After driving over six memorable miles in each vehicle, receive a full debrief, including a presentation of a certificate to remember the experience by, along with an individual driver analysis from the dedicated instructor.

Availability: Runs around four times a month, and can be on a Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday or Thursday. The circuit is closed from early December to mid-January. Weather: Driving might be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow, ice, heavy rain or high winds) which would make driving at speed dangerous. Please call the venue Monday – Friday (if in any doubt). Duration: Expect to be up to four hours at the venue, including 6.6 miles driving time (each car). Please be aware that sessions start from 8am and sessions booked between 11am – 3pm incur a £10 charge. Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure a prompt start. Numbers On Day: All in-car tuition is on a one-to-one basis. Briefings are held in groups of up to 30 people. There are likely to be other vehicles on the track at the same time. Spectators: Spectators are welcome. Other extra (chargable) drives and passenger rides are available on the day subject to availability. Dress Code: Dress comfortably (and warmly in winter) with trousers, long sleeves and narrow, flat-soled shoes to negotiate pedals that are close together. A helmet is provided. Guidelines: Exit the M6 at j14. At the roundabout take the exit signed A5013 Eccleshall then continue through Creswell onto Great Bridgeford and take a left turn to the B5405 Woodseaves. Ignore the left into Clanford Road signed Seighford but turn left when you see signs for ‘Driving Experience Registration’ into Clanford Road opposite the Ladfordfields Ind Estate. Pass the Gliding Club and the entrance to the Driving Centre is on the right. Restrictions: Maximum weight is 18 stone and maximum height is 6’6”. A full manual driving licence must be produced on the day to guarantee participation. Other Info: From 7.45am – 5.45pm a free minibus operates every 30 minutes between Stafford train station and the Stafford Activity Centre. Participants who choose this greener way to travel receive a £10 voucher and spectators a £5 voucher to spend on-site. When booking expect to be offered the choice of buying a collision damage waiver at £20 to £40 additional charge. Please note there is no obligation to purchase this optional waiver.
