Description

To get a real taste of stunt driving, there’s no better place than the motoring school of Top Gear stunt driver and Guinness World Record-holder Paul Swift. This rip-roaring stunt driving session is led by top Paul Swift instructors and with one-to-one tuition, you are sure to pick up some pretty sweet moves. Kick off with a briefing before climbing behind the wheel of a purpose-built hot hatch to get ready for the action. Push skills to the limit while learning how to perform stunt driving classics such as donuts, drifting moves, handbrake turns and J-turns – just like they do in the movies. As a finale, go against the clock on the auto-test stunt track, in a bid to become champion and take away an official driving certificate.
