During this four hour experience, you’ll get behind the wheel of three classic American cars and take each for a three mile race around the track. You can drive the 1960's Ford GT40, 1972 Corvette Stingray, Ford Gran Torino, 1965 Race Prepped Mustang GT350, or the General Lee Dodge Charger – to name just five of your choices! Over a total of nine miles you’ll experience the power of these sensational cars, and with an expert instructor sitting beside you, you’ll soon learn how to master these beautiful beasts. An unforgettable experience for any classic car lover.

Half Day Drifting Experience with 3 Passenger Laps

If you’re into stunt driving and want to learn how to drift, check out the Birmingham Half Day Drifting experience. Buckle up tight for this one, because this is full-throttle driving at its best. After a briefing you’ll hop behind the wheel of either a Nissan Skyline or 200SX, and under expert guidance, you’ll learn to master doughnuts and figures of eight, enjoying your time drifting around a set course. Once you’ve got to grips with your car, it’s time to navigate a specially designed circuit of left and right hand bends for four full laps – and to make it that bit more exciting, you’ll be pitted against your instructor! It’s not over yet, though, as you’ll finish off with a high-speed passenger ride. With a professional drift driver in the front seat, you’re just along for the ride here… and as your driver tries to drift as close to the car in front as possible, you’ll see that drifting is even more thrilling than you thought. A truly adenaline-pumping experience.

Just 25 minutes from Birmingham, this is a great chance to gain an understanding of off-road driving – and what’s special about this experience is that it’s tailored to you: if you want to learn specific off-road driving techniques, your instructor will be happy to teach you – but if you’d rather spend the session tearing across rutted woodland tracks, navigating steep sides slopes and whizzing through deep water, that’s fine too! During this three hour experience you’ll drive 13 miles over three very different types of terrain, and with your instructor sitting beside you, you’ll soon understand how the Land Rover’s phenomenal technology can make it easy to tackle even the toughest terrain.
