Q. Can I bring guests with me?

A. Yes you are welcome to bring as many guests as you like.

Guests can also participate in a Supercar Driving Experience or be driven at high speed around the circuit by one of our Instructors - known as a 'Hot Lap'. This can be paid for and arranged on the day of the event as we have card facilities at every event. If you are a guest and would like to drive then please do not forget to bring along your driving license. A list of Supercars available to 'Pay and Drive' and the prices per lap are on display at each event.

Q. How long will I be at the venue for?

A. Typically we ask each customer to allow an hour and a half at the venue for a drive in one Supercar and a further  hour per extra Supercar chosen to drive.

In the confirmation pack sent out to each driver before an event, it explains how we do require each customer to arrive a minimum of 45 mins before their drive to allow for registration.

Q. What happens on the day?

A. On nearing the event venue at any of our 3 venues look out for our yellow signs which will direct you into our car park. At Kenilworth there will be a short ride to the circuit from the car park in a minibus. On arrival at our hospitality suite (Kenilworth & Chobham) or large marquee (York) we will welcome you and ask to see your driving license. We will give each driver a ticket to exchange for a free tea or coffee. After registration we will introduce you to one of our Instructors who will take you around the circuit as a passenger to answer any questions you may have, and take you through the layout of the circuit.

Depending on the Ferrari/Lamborghini/Aston Martin etc package you have chosen there may be some waiting around until you are called by one of our Instructors.  Catering in the form of sandwiches/soft drinks etc is also available at extra cost.

During your time with us you will always be accompanied by one of our friendly Instructors who will give advice on driving technique, and guidance on braking, cornering etc. He/she will also be scoring you and you will receive a certificate at the end of the day!

Framed photographs of your driving experience in one of our Supercars will also be available at extra cost, from a professional photographer positioned at the edge of the circuit.

Our venue at Elvington also has an air museum and is situated near the historic city of York. Why not make a weekend of it?

One thing we are sure of is that you will have a day to remember!
