ferrari driving experience from red letter days

Drive a fast and challenging car around a fast and challenging circuit with this superb Ferrari experience!

You’ll start out in a hot hatch with an instructor getting expert tuition on racing lines and high-speed driving techniques and then it’s into the Ferrari to build on what you’ve just learnt!

The exact experience varies by the location chosen:

Three Sisters – 7 miles in a Ferrari 360 followed by 3 miles in a hot hatch and conclude with 10 miles in a single-seater racing car (23 miles in total).

Thruxton or Croft – 3 laps in a Porsche Cayman, 4 laps in a Ferrari 355 plus 5 laps in a single-seater (25 miles at Croft, 28.8 miles at Thruxton)

Rockingham – Ferrari 360 for 6 miles on the track and then a single-seater for another 20mins.

A high-speed passenger ride concludes your experience at some venues.

supercar driving experience from red letter days

A tremendous experience for the confirmed petrol-head – the opportunity to experience 4 very different supercars in one package!

Drive the elegant mid-engined Ferrari with its roaring V12 sitting inches behind you, the comparatively understated and rear-engined Porsche 911, the lightweight, rapid and immensely agile Lotus Elise and the brutally powerful 4 wheel drive rally legend that is the Subaru Impreza STi all in one day. This experience will leave you grinning from ear to ear as you try to figure out which one you loved the most!
