Known locally as RAF Upottery, its name from its time as a WWII airfield, there is also a 1 mile long layout at this venue, where motor enthusiasts can really pedal to the metal with some thrilling driving experience days.

This includes the most sought after and desirable supercars around with our Supercar Driving Experience packages, where the Ariel Atom, BMW i8, Porsche 911 Carrera and Ferrari 360 are among the prestigious models available. Our Combined Experience packages offer great value, as they let you get behind the wheel of as many as five supercars of your choice for the day.

If you're a fan of the motors revving up on the silver screen, our Movie Car experiences - available in Blast and Thrill packages - let you get behind some of the most famous wheels around, including the 'General Lee' Dodge Charger from Dukes of Hazzard and the Ford Mustang GT350 from Starsky and Hutch.

The Combined Blast and Thrill packages for supercars that we offer our adult drivers are available to them too, but if it's just the one they've got their heart set on - a Lamborghini Gallardo, or Audi R8, we've got this taken care of too, and all under the guidance of an expert instructor who will help them to get the most out of their time behind the wheel and ensure their safety is a prime consideration.
