Driving Experiences

With February 14th coming up there will be loads of couples looking for presents to get their significant other! 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!

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!

Here’s the New Honda NSX Supercar (alternatively known as the HSV-010 GT) Video:

This race car, made by Honda, has raised alot of eyebrows in the supercar world. It is both lightweight and powerful, and the three letters HSV actually mean Honda Sports Velocity, we at drivingexperiences.com like that!

Now down to the nitty gritty, what’s under the hood and what’s it made of and what can it do on the track…

Boasting around 496bhp and weighing in as a lightweight at 1100 kilo’s, it is as yet unknown what the HSV-010 GT’s 0-60mph times are, but you can bet it’s damn quick.

Honda’s new Honda Sports Velocity supercar is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.4 litre V8 engine, and the engine gives power to the rear wheels. Gear changes are with a paddle shifter by the steering wheel to enable quick shifting.

The look of the HSV-010 GT is just like it’s come out of a batman comic book. It looks sleek, low slung and dangerous! Here’s some pictures of Honda’s new NSX supercar:

• Licence – The event operator will need proof you have had a licence so don’t forget to take it with you, some will require the paper counterpart as well.

• Relax! The day is all about enjoying yourself and doing something you may have never had the opportunity to in your life before, if you were lucky enough to have a driving experience present bought for you, then one thing you can do in return is make it a good one! The more relaxed you are the more you’ll enjoy it!

Driving experiences are amazing fun and buying a gift experience is almost as much fun, to watch someone experience extreme excitement as they discover they’ve been bought a rare driving experience day is special indeed!

Don’t forget to take pictures of the day driving your favourite supercar, rally car or 4×4 vehicle!

When it comes to buying something special that will have your child jumping for joy, childrens driving experiences could be at the top of that wish list!

There are a wide range of different children’s driving experiences available, such as the opportunity to drive a 4×4, or a bunch of Supercars like the Aston Martin, Lamborghini or Ferrari!

Now there’s even a kids drifting experience in which your child can “safely” try to drift the vehicle, that is, get the back end of the vehicle out to slide around in a controlled way!

It’s all good fun and makes for a very fun filled and entertaining afternoon out with the family. Spectators are obviously welcome and can take pictures and record the driving experience on video if they have one. In some cases the childrens driving experience has photographers there for you to get a really nice framed picture to remind you and your child of your day out together!

All the childrens driving experiences are neatly listed out on the kids experiences section, where you can view prices and locations.

One thing to keep in mind for your childrens driving experience is to choose a location that’s fairly near otherwise it may take a few hours to get there which could be tiring for kids.

The alternative is to book a place to stay the night before and make a weekend of it, there are some trackday hotels here which show you nearest hotels and B&B’s to the venue you plan on attending.

This will ensure that both you and your child have had a decent night’s sleep and are ready to hit the tarmac (or mud) full of energy so you can take it all in and enjoy every moment of it!

The Fenix is said to be nothing like the Noble M12 GTO in terms of design

There’s a new supercar on the block that may have it’s competition trembling with fear – the Fenix supercar which is made my the same people who made the Noble supercar, such as the spectacular Noble M400 and M12.

Lee Noble is the man behind the Fenix supercar, of which it is the first from new company Fenix Automotive.

The Fenix Automotive supercar reminds us of the M600 but with a twist. This one is actually more daring. It holds a fierce stance and is powerful looking.

Lee Noble, has stated that the new supercars have to move on. He’s talking about the way supercars look, with the Fenix he has started from scratch.

Lee asserts that this one will be in ‘another league’.

Onto the bit I like the most, what’s the power… well there are two engines to choose from one pushing out nearly 640 horse power, and the other under 500bhp, the higher powered one comes from a ZR1.

Boasting estimated top speeds of 200 miles per hour and getting to 100mph in a simply mind boggling time of only seven seconds.

There is apparently a prototype on the way, after that they will be headed to hotter climes for vigorous testing. South Africa is where this will take place as well as be made from.

Word is that they will start taking orders by sometime next year.

What better way to buy a post Christmas gift than with an gift experience? Being memorable, fun, exciting and many other things they are sure to win over anyone who receives one for their birthday or as something they get out of the blue!

Gift experiences are among some of the most popular gifts people can buy as presents for any occasion, Father’s day gift experiences are a favourite for many. There are quite a number of gift experiences to choose from, consisting of outdoors activities, driving experiences, flying experiences, watersports, health & beauty, and excursions to go on and experience.

Experiences are things that leave behind an imprint whether good or bad; with driving experiences we would hope to think most of the experiencees are left with a sense of accomplishment and exhiliration by the end of the experience day.

“Fulfilled and on a high!” is how one of our customers described our gift experience while he was bought an experience which involved driving an Evo, a Subaru Impreza, a 4×4 experience, we’re not done yet… a Lamborghini Gallardo, and a Ferrari experience!

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”!

Many gift experiences offer the participant the option of photos and even videos of their experience, people can choose to take a cd disk of the action they took part in and even frame their favourite picture of themselves, or show the video to friends.

So for an experience day that in memory lasts forever, and if it’s the first time sitting in a supercar, give thought to a gift experience as a gift for a family member or a loved one.

Breaking news from Aston Martin revealing that during testing the Aston Martin One-77 reached 220 miles per hour. The Aston Martin One-77 has come on the supercar scene like a bolt out of the blue from it’s british manufacturers.

Speculation on the price of the “One-77″ is expected to be around £1.25 million pounds.

The spectacular supercar is showing up all over the globe at motor shows. The good news is that there is going to be a production so people can actually get their hands on this beautifully made supercar. Those who cannot may want to look at an Aston Martin experience.

Word on the street is that they have taken the Aston Martin One-77 to Germany to test it on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. They are no doubt planning on testing it at other locations as well.

It apparently easily went over 200mph, according to the British guys testing it, sources have also said it reached 220mph during testing.

Now, the British company Aston Martin are expecting to continue tweaking every aspect of the One-77 including dynamics and engine tuning.

There are a handful of gorgeous supercars being released in 2010, the Aston Martin One-77 will have a 7.3Ltr V12 engine to power it. It appears that their latest supercar is the epitomy of the company’s philosophy.

Coming with the price tag is exclusivity, as the name suggests, there will be only 77 of these fine supercars. Apparently people can expect Aston Martin to deliver this fantastic supercar sometime in the next year. Have a look at more pictures of the Aston Martin One 77 below, and the video!
