Description

Come to Donington Park Circuit to drive two of the world’s most iconic sports cars. After a welcome from the staff, receive a briefing and demonstration lap, where a fully qualified instructor explaina racing lines and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then drive six miles in each car – the Ferrari F360 needs only four and a half seconds to reach 183 mph and the Audi is capable of 187mph. Pick a favourite (if that’s possible)!

Availability: Available in 2017 on the 25 August and 27 October only. Dates fill very quickly, so we recommend booking 12 weeks in advance. 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 number on the day of your experience if in any doubt. Duration: Expect to be at the circuit for around two and a half hours, including a briefing and approximately 30 minutes driving. Please arrive 30 minutes in advance of the booked time 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.
