Your Aston Martin Thrill Driving Gift experience consists of the following:
- Signing on followed by a safety and techniques briefing given by an experienced race driver.
- You will be given a safety helment and driven around the track for 2 laps in a saloon car by your instructor showing you the racing line.
- You will then drive 4/5 laps of the track in the Aston Martin accompanied by your instructor (4 laps at Elvington, 5 laps at Teesside).
- Once you complete your drive you will be given a certificate to remind you of your day.
Why not complete your driving experience with a hot lap driven by a professional driver. You wont beleive how fast you can go. The passenger lap will take place in the car nominated for passenger laps that day. Cars normally used include BMW M3, Lotus Elise, Subaru or Caterham.
