If you are a fan of Formula One or motorsports or just enjoy fast cars, then driving a supercar on a racetrack is probably on your bucket list.
The sheer thrill and adrenaline rush of following in the tyre tracks of your heroes is something to aspire to. It’s surprisingly easy to achieve, and numerous racing circuits offer packages of different driving experiences.
You can even drop a hint to your loved ones, who may wish to buy you a gift voucher!
Get Ready to Race
Your first decision is what kind of experience you want to participate in. How about a couple of laps in a Formula One car, or would you prefer the luxury of an Aston Martin or a Lamborghini?
You are not limited to just one manufacturer; most circuits allow you to build a package of up to six different cars.
If you are lacking in confidence, you can opt to be a passenger, and let a professional driver give you that need for speed!
What to Expect
Having made your choice of circuit and preferred car, there are some things you need to be aware of. Most importantly, you will need a driving licence which allows you to legally drive on UK roads.
Typically, there will be a height and weight limit, meaning that you need to be between 5ft and 6ft 4in and weigh no more than 18 stone. Of course, it goes without saying that you should not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
You will be guided by a professional instructor and, as a minimum, will be expected to wear a balaclava and, more than likely, a helmet too. Safety is of the utmost importance.
You won’t be able to take photos or videos from inside the car, but no doubt your friends and family will be on hand to record the unforgettable experience as you drive a supercar on a racetrack!
