Lotus Exige: sexy, cool and very fast. A car with impeccable traction that can accelerate, stop and change direction quicker than most. It has an all-aluminium tub, lightweight body, high-revving 190bhp Toyota engine and effective aerodynamic wings and splitters, which all help to create a very focused driving machine. Try it out for yourself at Thruxton, the UK's fastest circuit. You'll get a briefing, then three instructor-driven laps to help you get a feel for the car and the track. Then drive seven laps in the Exige yourself. After a break to catch your breath, drive a further seven laps to really get to grips with this fabulous vehicle. To round off your experience you'll get a full-throttle, white knuckle passenger ride with your instructor.

With race commentators and trophies to be won, this is real racing in fantastic 1300cc saloon stock cars. After a briefing on safety and driving techniques, you'll drive for four practice laps and two racing heats of eight laps each. Based on the points scored in the heats, each driver will then be streamed into a championship final for ten electrifying laps against drivers of a similar ability. The winners of the four finals line up for eight laps in the Showdown Shootout race to find the ultimate champion. Conclude with a trophy presentation for the best drivers of the day. The adrenaline is pumped up throughout with commentary over the PA system, race marshals, fans and a great atmosphere.
Two world-famous marques go head to head - with you in the driving seat. The Ferrari F360 is one of Maranello's finest driving machines. Capable of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 183 mph, this car is all about pace, handling and refinement. The Lamborghini Gallardo is a totally different drive - brutal and uncompromising, with 500bhp and a top speed of nearly 200 mph. You'll start with a briefing and some demonstration laps from a qualified instructor, who'll talk you through the racing lines, driving techniques and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then you'll take the driving seat of the Ferrari. Once you've got your breath back, you'll climb into the Lamborghini for more laps. You get to drive six miles in each car, finishing with a question and answer session and certificate presentation.
With a spirit of adventure at the core of its character, the great outdoors has always been the territory of the Land Rover brand. These iconic off-roaders weren't built to sit nose-to-tail in rush-hour traffic - you need to get them off the tarmac to find out what they're really capable of. On this experience you'll tackle some challenging terrain in one of the following king of the road vehicles - a Land Rover Defender, a Discovery or a Range Rover Sport. You'll start with a thorough safety briefing before your instructor shows you around your vehicle, explaining the impressive capabilities of these 4x4s. Then get behind the wheel yourself to conquer the muddy climbs, drops and hazards of an exhilarating off-road course, in stunning surroundings. Most venues have excellent facilities, including disabled access, catering, toilets, shelter and parking. A simple lunch is included, this exciting experience is bound to give you an appetite.
After an introduction and briefing on circuit driving techniques, your personal instructor will take you out onto the circuit for some demo laps. At Everyman you'll drive for three laps in five supercars: the stunning DB9 is a modern thoroughbred sports car, the good looking Ferrari 550 has the kind of effortless-handling which revels in sweeping bends and high-speed straights, the Lamborghini Gallardo is a brutal and uncompromising powerhouse, whilst the new Jaguar XK and rear-engined Porsche 997 are the modern-day incarnations of cars born on the racetrack. A driving assessment and a certificate are also included. At Thruxton, you'll take the wheel for four laps in a Porsche Cayman and four laps in the awesome Aston Martin Vantage V8, then finish with four laps in the all-aluminium Ferrari F430 supercar, capable of 0-60mph in under four seconds and a top speed of nearly 200mph. Finally, swap to the passenger seat for the high-speed ride of your life.
