Now, we all know Ford from their bestselling and reliable Fiesta or Focus models. But they've also been the powerhouse behind some of the most desirable performance cars around across several generations. And this all new double driving experience, available to book at venues across the UK, is as potent a reminder of that as any! You can look forward to taking your pick of two from a curated selection of both classic and modern Ford cars, including a recreation of the 'Le Mans '66' GT40, a Focus RS Rally, a Mustang GT, a Mustang 5.0 V8 and a Capri V8 amongst others. Following your welcome and sign on, you'll meet with an expert instructor to go through a full safety briefing, and they'll be beside you in the passenger seat offering tips and tricks to get the most out of your experience as you enjoy driving both of your chosen Fords for 3 miles each!

Recommended Tracks - these tracks are proper motorsport circuits:
- Blyton Park Driving Centre
- Brands Hatch Circuit*
- Castle Combe Circuit
- Mallory Park Circuit*
- Oulton Park Circuit*
- Snetterton Circuit*
- Three Sisters Race Circuit
All other venues have limited facilities and the track is a coned out circuit on open tarmac. Less glamorous, but it's all about the cars. The Eboladrome is an interesting location as it's the test track used in The Grand Tour TV Series.
