Description

Drive the astounding Nissan GT-R and either the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9 in one high-octane session. Aston Martins are beautifully crafted, modern classics with amazing power, phenomenal acceleration and superb handling. The Nissan is the UK’s fastest car in its price range, reaching 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds and with a top speed of 195 mph. Start with a briefing on driving techniques and racing lines. Next, take the wheel of either the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9 for six rip-roaring miles of Leeds Raceway. Then, step into the Nissan GT-R for a further six blistering miles. End by collecting a certificate to take home.

Availability: At least one Friday, Saturday or Sunday date per month from May to November. We recommend allowing several weeks advance booking notice for this particularly popular experience. Weather: Driving may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g. high winds, ice or heavy rain) which would make driving at speed dangerous.

Please arrive 45 minutes in advance of the booked time to ensure a prompt start. Numbers On Day: Up to 30 people take part. The briefing is shared with a group. Other than for demonstration laps, all driving is held on a one-to-one basis. There tend to be large numbers taking part at weekends. Spectators: Spectators are welcome and a camera will come in handy. The venue offers good facilities for spectators and drivers. Pets are not allowed. Dress Code: Wear trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and narrow, flat-soled shoes, as the pedals in these cars can be close together. Wear natural fibres like cotton, rather than synthetics like nylon.
