Please note the junior track layout at Wattisham Airfield is approximately 1.5 miles long.

Wattisham Airfield is located near the village of Wattisham in Suffolk, with good access from Ipswich via the A14. It's also close to other towns in the East of England, including Stowmarket, Needham Market, and Bury St Edmunds. First used by the Royal Air Force in 1939, it remains an active Army base, now home to 3 Regiment and 4 Regiment Army Air Corps.

Young drivers can enjoy getting behind the wheel on the 2.4 mile long runway in a range of junior vehicles, with great value as always. While facilities are limited due to the site's military use, spectators are welcome to come along and watch.

At Wattisham Airfield, Junior Drivers aged 10 - 17 can enjoy the thrill of getting behind the wheel of some of the world's most exciting cars. Our junior Junior Supercar Driving experiences let youngsters take control of iconic models like the Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 430, and Nissan GTR - all on a real airfield circuit. It's a unique and unforgettable opportunity that promises plenty of smiles and adrenaline!
