Aston Martin Driving Experience
Aston Martin means pure power and finesse. Designed to be uncompromising, these cars offer power and performance to stir the soul. Your experience starts with a briefing on safety and driving techniques. Your instructor will drive you three laps in a Mazda 3 MPS, showing you the racing lines and demonstrating circuit driving techniques, then you’ll drive four laps in a Porsche Cayman. Next comes the highlight of your visit - four laps driving a truly great British supercar, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The 380bhp V8 engine growls to a top speed of in excess of 170mph, reaching 60mph in just 4.8 seconds. After a break to catch your breath, you’ll finish with five laps completely solo in a single-seater Formula Renault or a Ginetta racing car, completing between 25 and 30 miles of driving on some of the UK’s fastest circuits.
