Grip the steering wheel and hit the tarmac for four thrilling laps in this titan of the motoring world, and find out why the Aston Martin remains unchallenged as the pinnacle of British motor engineering.
Your session begins with a welcome and registration followed by a briefing on safety and driving techniques.

You will drive an Aston Martin AMV8, Vantage or DB9, dependant on location. You’ll be presented with a certificate at the end of the day to commemorate your incredible experience.

Occasion: Christmas
I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend who had a great day. As she used to race cars I knew she would like it. The staff were professional. The briefing was accurate and clear. The cars were in great condition and the weather on the day was perfect. We went to the Rockingham circuit and my only complaint would be that the track is so short. We paid extra and had the in car video which showed that despite my girlfriends best efforts and with her foot flat on the floor, she was not allowed to get the car above 80mph which for a supercar on a racetrack is just shocking!
All in all it was a good day and she loved the experience however it would have been a whole lot better if she had really got the thrill of opening the car up as promised.

Occasion: Birthday
This was a gift for my 50th birthday. As we got to the circuit and I could hear all that fantastic machinery flying round the Three Sisters circuit, I felt anything but middle-aged. I couldn't stop smiling.
The organisation was spot-on: a safety briefing in a classroom setting and then a couple of laps as a passenger to learn about cornering lines and braking points.
The came the Aston! The cars all look gorgeous and spotless but the real buzz comes when you hit the starter, then hit the throttle. Three Sisters is quite a tight circuit - and that makes it a lot of fun, especially with other people out there enjoying themselves in smart machines.
My instructor was very calm and encouraged me to get every last ounce of enjoyment out the experience. He watched the mirrors and the other drivers so I was free to just make that big V8 roar and pin us in our seats.
Go, go, GO!
