With 3 laps behind the wheel you'll not only have a huge smile on your face but be ready to take on the next car, no doubt feeling like the next Lewis Hamilton

Guest drives the Lamborghini Huracan

4 laps

The Lamborghini Huracan is the brand new supercar from Lamborghini and is light years ahead of the car it replaces, the Gallardo. Featuring a 5.2 litre naturally aspirated V10 engine mated to a 7 speed twin clutch gearbox. The car is full of technology and stunning to drive.

Guest drives the Formula Renault Racing Car

5 laps

Watching Formula 1 will never be the same again after you've experienced driving a proper single seat racing car on a proper race circuit. Many of the current crop of F1 drivers have raced in this formula with Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton both winning the UK series. Once seated with the racing straps fitted around you the engine bursts into life you'll feel like a Grand Prix is about to start. Once up to speed, everything clicks into place as you and the car become one, getting quicker every lap, the car responding instantly. A truly unique experience and one that will be remembered

About the Lamborghini Huracan PLUS Driving Experience

The brand new Lamborghini Huracan will no doubt be a school boy poster car. It's stunning to look at and incredible to drive.

From all angles it's a Lamborghini with crisp lines all over the body with some flicks and flares in all the right places.

On board is all the technology you'll need and expect from a car of this pedigree, including an electronically controlled all wheel drive system to keep in check the mid-mounted, naturally aspirated V10 engine which puts out over 600bhp. It's mated to all new 7 speed double clutch gearbox helping to push the Huracan to 202 mph.

As part of the Lamborghini Huracan driving experience, guests will have a chance to learn the race circuit with an ARDS qualified race instructor initially as a passenger and then driving the Porsche Cayman.

The Porsche Cayman is a fantastic sports car that out performs other more expensive machinery. A great car that gives the driver lots confidence behind the wheel.

After the driving Lamborghini Huracan, the driver will experience a proper single seat racing car, feel what it's like to be an F1 driver as you experience g-force and amazing acceleration and stopping power

The Cars

Formula Renault

Firmly strapped into the cockpit the car is an extension of you. It will react to every input. When you brake it stops, turn the steering wheel and it darts left or right. Road cars seem soggy and unresponsive by comparison.

We also have the Sports 2000 racing car for customers who are too tall to drive the Formula Renault. These Le Mans looking cars are very fast and have downforce to help corner at high speeds. Great fun to drive!
