Fancy swapping the daily commute for something with considerably more noise and considerably less sensible behaviour? Upottery Airfield Smeatharpe has a great selection of driving experiences, from supercars and drifting to racing cars and movie favourites.
Upottery Airfield Smeatharpe Driving Experiences offer plenty of choice, so whether you want to drive something exotic or simply experience some serious speed, there is something to get the pulse racing.
Supercar Driving Blast Experience
The Supercar Driving Blast is a great place to start if you want a taste of supercar performance without overcomplicating things.
You get around three miles behind the wheel of a supercar, with an experienced instructor alongside you. Depending on availability, cars can include Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Audi and Nissan.
After a welcome and safety briefing, it is straight out onto the circuit. Simple, really. Pick a supercar, put your foot down and try to look composed while doing it.
One supercar is good. Three is obviously better.
The Diamond Supercar Blast gives you around nine miles of driving, split between three different performance cars.
The available selection can include the Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Huracan, Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin Vantage, Mercedes AMG GTR and Porsche GT3 RS, subject to availability.
It is a great choice if you want variety, allowing you to experience how different supercars feel from behind the wheel. You can also add a high-speed passenger ride for even more excitement.
Triple Drift Driving Experience with Hot Lap
Prefer your cars pointing sideways? The Triple Drift Driving Experience should be right up your street.
The experience teaches you drifting techniques across three stages, starting with the basics before progressing to more advanced skills.
You will learn about countersteering, throttle control, handbrake initiations, weight transfer and other techniques used to keep a car sliding under control.
Once the lessons are finished, the instructor takes over for a hot lap. This is where you can sit back and discover how drifting is supposed to look when someone actually knows what they are doing.
Ariel Atom Race for Two - 2 Laps
The Ariel Atom Race for Two is a little different. You and another person become passengers in two Ariel Atoms, each driven by a qualified instructor.
The cars then race against each other over two laps, turning a short passenger ride into a surprisingly competitive experience.
With the Atom's lightweight design and impressive performance, there is plenty of excitement packed into those two laps. It is a particularly good choice for two people wanting to experience something together.
If you have ever watched a film and thought the cars looked more interesting than the plot, the Movie Car Thrill should get your attention.
You get six miles behind the wheel of a movie-inspired car, with options including the Chevrolet Camaro and Mustang GT from Transformers, the Nissan Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra from Fast and Furious, the Audi R8 from Iron Man and the Dodge Charger from Dukes of Hazzard.
There are plenty of other famous movie and television cars available too, subject to availability.
It is a chance to drive something with genuine screen presence, rather than simply borrowing another ordinary sports car for the afternoon.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you want a straightforward introduction to supercar driving, go for the Supercar Driving Blast.
For maximum variety, the Triple Diamond Supercar Blast gives you three cars in one experience.
Drifting is the obvious choice for anyone who wants to learn proper car control, while the Ariel Atom race is ideal for two people who would rather let an instructor handle the driving.
Then there is the Movie Car Thrill for anyone who would happily swap their everyday car for something that looks like it has just escaped from a Hollywood chase scene.
The Verdict
Upottery Airfield Smeatharpe offers plenty of ways to get behind the wheel of something far more exciting than the car sitting on your driveway.
Whether you fancy supercars, drifting, racing or movie machinery, there is an experience to suit.
So pick your favourite, buckle up and enjoy yourself. After all, there are plenty of sensible cars in the world. You do not need to drive one of them today.
