    Transformers Bumblebee Driving Experience

    If you're searching for the perfect gift that combines the excitement of sci-fi and action movies with a love for cars, look no further! We've got just the thing for you: a mind-blowing Chevrolet Camaro driving experience that will take you on the ultimate cross-over adventure!

Thanks to the knowledgeable instructor seated right beside you, you'll be amazed at how quickly you transform into a seasoned pro behind the wheel. Talk about an epic journey!

    Aston Martin V8 Driving Experience

    If you prefer something a little more sleek and stylish, what about  the Aston Martin V8 Driving Experience? At the Elvington race track, just 45 minutes from Leeds, this is your chance to experience the incredible power and handling of this iconic British supercar, and discover precisely why it’s James Bond’s vehicle of choice.

    Once you arrive at the track you’ll get a full briefing on how to get the most out of this stunning vehicle, and from the moment you slip into the plush leather seats and grip the wheel, you’ll know you’re in for something special. This is a car as fast as it is beautiful, and once you push the pedal to the metal and feel the power of the 4.7 litre 420 hp V8 engine, you’ll be sold.

    You’ll get to drive the Aston Martin V8 for four thrilling laps, and if that weren’t enough, you’ll end the day with a high-speed passenger thrill ride, where your expert instructor will demonstrate the full extent of this supercar’s sensational capabilities.


    4x4 Off Road Driving Experience

    Supercars not your thing? Prefer getting down and dirty?

    If that's the case, what about the 4x4 Off Road Driving Experience in Ferrybridge, near Leeds? Just 16 miles from Leeds city centre is a huge off-road assault course that’s just waiting to be conquered – and under the guidance of qualified and experienced instructors, there’s never been a better time to tackle this daunting track.

    Get behind the wheel of an insanely powerful 4x4 vehicle as you zoom down mud-filled crevices, up rocky hills, over streams and along steep ruts. It doesn’t matter whether this is your first ever off-road experience or you have plenty of 4x4 driving under your belt; this experience can be adapted for all levels, so it’s suitable for everyone. A wonderfully wild driving adventure that makes the perfect present for any petrol-head.


    Leeds Rally Thrill Experience

    If you prefer the idea of racing to off-roading, then a rally experience might be more your bag – specifically, the Leeds Rally Thrill Experience. At the Elvington race track, just a short drive from Leeds, this heart-stopping experience gives you the chance to put your racing skills to the test.

    Get behind the wheel of a race-ready rally car, an iconic Subaru Impreza, and once you’ve learnt the ropes from your instructor, it’s time to be let loose on the track. But this isn’t any old track... the authentic gravel rally stage is especially designed to test drivers of all abilities, and if you’ve ever dreamed of throwing dirt up behind you as your tear around corners, now’s your chance.

    You’ll enjoy six exhilarating laps, so there’ll be plenty of time to practice your power slides and experience the unique rush of rallying. A genuinely thrilling driving experience you’ll remember for years to come.


    Quad Biking for Two

Now that's what we call an epic quad biking experience!

    Once you've arrived at the track and everyone is geared up, it's time to jump on the Kymco 150 quad bikes and embark on an exhilarating ride. Don't worry if you're new to quad biking; your expert instructor will guide you through some simple exercises to help you get acquainted with the bikes. Once you feel confident and comfortable, it's time to hit the course!

    Here's the best part: there are three different circuits available, catering to all levels of experience. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned pro, you'll be faced with challenges that will keep you on your toes. 

    It's time to rev those engines and unleash your inner off-road champion!
