Make their driving dreams a reality with this Junior driving experience that includes not 1 but 2 driving experiences.
First up is the Junior Driver Training session where young drivers from 10 years old can get to grips with the basics of driving in a Mini Cooper S. They'll learn how to control the car and practise manoeuvres like reversing and parking as well as learn clutch control and changing gears.
Then it's time for some serious fun! They can drive 3 miles on the track in a seriously fast sports car or a powerful muscle car. Safety is of course a top priority so they'll be accompanied in the car by a fully trained, experienced driving instructor and all vehicles are dual controlled.
