Cheap driving experiences


The year 2010 will be full of surprises but the best one yet could be for those who long for cheap driving experiences. If you’re on a budget but desire a thrill from an exotic supercar we have some fantastic deals on driving experiences that almost anyone can afford!

What better way to experience an Italian supercar like a Ferrari or Lamborghini that would otherwise cost in the six figure range to purchase it outright not to mention how much insurance, tax and petrol would cost! When you can drive one around a racetrack or on an airfield for only £99?

The ability to race around a circuit in the UK with a qualified instructor sat beside you guiding you on how to go faster and faster, now that’s a cheap driving experience that you wouldn’t forget in a hurry!

You could pretend like you’re one of the presenters from Top Gear testing out a supercar, feel free to pick from Clarkson, Hammond or May, whichever one enables you to have a blast just like you’re a big kid!

The great thing about driving experiences is they are priced from £75 upwards, which means those watching their pennies and pounds can still take advantage of a cheap driving experience and feel what it’s like to drive a supercar, tank, or rally car!

Imagine the challenge of driving different car marques from the luxury of a ferrari to the raw handling and performance of a single seater race car, but at a fraction of the cost of buying outright!

Valentines gift experiences


With February 14th coming up there will be loads of couples looking for presents to get their significant valentines day giftsother! Valentines gift experiences could be one of the most memorable valentines gifts you could get your loved one.

Experiencing the rush of adrenalin as you put your foot down in a high powered supercar is nothing short of incredible. Giving that kind of gift to your partner for valentines could be the cherry on the cake for a driving day out that they have always dreamed of. You could even get a supercar experience for two!

Make the most of valentines day by giving that someone special a valentines gift experience, such an experience will last embedded as a superbly fun filled day out driving a car of their choice, such as a Rally car, Aston Martin, Ferrari, or a host of other cars that are a delight to drive and exciting when you put the pedal to the floor and push the car to it’s limit!

One valentines experience that may be outside the norm could be a drifting experience where the driver tries to get the car, usually rear wheel drive, to slip and slide, causing it to slide sideways. A drifting experience is getting the car to slide but to keep the car under control, it’s a very fun driving experience to do, and not your usual racing around the track as fast as you can.

Another experience that is a fun challenge to spend your day and that is the 4×4 experience in which you have to go over, around, and through all sorts of terrain such as rivers, grassy hills and mud ponds! Off road 4×4 driving experiences are very popular so booking early is a must!

An experience day for valentines could be just what is needed to bring something special but different to the usual valentines gifts that can sometimes get predictable over the years! With a driving experience for valentines, it brings something new and fresh to gift ideas for valentines, which will hopefully pay off when you present the gift certificate on valentines day to your partner.

Happy Valentines Day! :)

Junior driving experience


Treat your child to a splendid birthday gift with a junior driving experience where they could drive a host of Supercars or 4x4s. With the junior driving experience kids can drive in some cases from 13 years old!

Here are a selection of Supercars youngsters from 13 could drive for their birthday:

The Aston Martin DB9; Ferrari, Rally Car (Mitsubishi Evo or Subaru Impreza!), Lamborghini Gallardo, 4×4 Off roading, Stunt Driving.. One of these beauties could be driven by a Junior for an afternoon filled with high octane action!

A junior driving experience could have your young one jumping around with excitement at the prospect of driving a car they would only otherwise see on the latest episode of Top Gear.

Now kids can sit in a real supercar and drive it around a circuit in the UK, they may even know their way around it if they’re into the latest driving games on their console!

The difference is that they will be totally blown away with the real thing, their senses will be assaulted, from pressing down on the accelerator pedal and hearing the supercar come to life to steering the lightweight supercar around all the bends, twists and corners that the race track has to offer!

Junior driving experiences are great as a present for a 13th birthday or any birthday, and a driving licence is obviously not required for the junior experiences, only enthusiasm and excitement to learn something new and experience something fantastically different!

To view a list of Junior driving experiences, have a look at the Kid’s experiences section.

Here’s a video which shows a 14 year old driving a Ferrari on his first Junior driving experience, lucky lad indeed! He gets to overtake a number of other supercars being driven by kids on their very own junior experience driving day!

Suffice to say by the look on his face by the end of his gift experience was priceless – just pure amazement!

One of the best things about experience days is that they are seen as more valuable than the price people have paid for them, you cannot put a price on the way people will feel while racing around in an Aston Martin!

People will not only feel a sense of speed, but the little bit of anxiety about stepping into a supercar for a day will turn into pure excitement! A gift experience well worth the money seen as it will be something imprinted into the memory bank, entitled “FUN”!
