Description

Drive 007’s car of choice – the iconic Aston Martin – and experience the power and finesse of this awesome car at Lydden Hill Circuit in Kent. Depending what’s available on the day, drive either the V8 Vantage – a beautifully crafted modern classic with superb performance, or the DB9 – an uncompromising six litre 186 mph speed machine. Receive a detailed briefing from a professional instructor and learn about the track, which has been specially designed to put top-class cars through their paces. The Aston Martin driving experience is assessed before the presentation of a commemorative certificate.
