  • Boots have one half price.
  • I had an Aston Martin driving day as a christmas present from my wife a couple of years ag0!

    it was a dream day as the label says, i even paid more on the day and had a go in a ferrari as well (not cheap mind).

    It was fantastic but the only negative is that it's over far too quickly, i had 4 laps in the Aston driving it myself, prior to that you had 2 laps in a Subaru WRC with a pro driver to show you the apexes and how it's done.

    But the circuit itself wasn't a "proper" circuit it was Shakespeare County Raceway (in Warwickshire) and the "circuit" was just a coned off area of an old airfield that you drove round - that was disappoiinting. I think it cost £120.

    you can pay a more and get better experience but then you start paying a lot more money.

    Still have the piccies on my wall at home - big cheesy grin as i'm driving round - ace!!

    Friends gave my husband a ferrari driving experience and he booked it at Kenilworth's Prodrive track. It was fabulous! He'll certainly remember it and would recommend it to anyone.

    I have bought my OH both a short and long experience. Although he said the shorter one was over very quickly, he did enjoy it, so I bought him the dearer one.

    I got it through www.buyagift.com who also have some offers on the driving experiences at the moment.

    If you do find one, there is a code as well, which MAY give you another 20% off, although it doesnt always work with the special offers. If you want the code, pm me.

  • I can recommend Driver Dream Days as a good company to book with, locations all over the country.
