Classic Car Drive plus High Speed Passenger Ride
Overview
Enjoy a healthy dose of old-school flair and plenty of adrenaline to match with Classic Car Drive plus High Speed Passenger Ride.
At Heyford Park in Oxfordshire you’ll get to drive your choice from five classic cars, taking it for a three lap, three mile ride with an expert instructor by your side. Take your pick from the likes of a classic Mini Cooper S MK3, a Ford Mustang, a Jaguar E-Type, or an Aston Martin Vantage.
Just when you thought things were slowing down, you’ll switch to the passenger side for an electrifying ride in a modern performance car, driven by your instructor. Whichever car you go for you’re sure of a thrill, and afterwards you’ll take home a commemorative certificate too.

What happens on the day?
On arrival at the Heyford Park airfield you’ll swing by the check-in desk for registration before grabbing a cup of tea or coffee and taking part in a short safety briefing to give you a taste for how the day will go. You’ll be taken for a run of the course as part of a group so you know where the twists and turns are, before eventually jumping in your chosen classic motor for a three mile, three lap run of the track.
Then you’ll take to the passenger seat of a modern performance vehicle for a flying lap with your instructor.
At the end of your experience you’ll be presented with a commemorative certificate.

The E type drive
The E type Jaguar has been mu=y favourite car since childhood. The likelihood of me owning one unfortunately is unlikely so the opportunity to get behind the wheel and drive one was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning, loved driving the car and alos enjoyed the hot lap as well! Thought all was very well organised and I will be back, have my eye on the Mustang.

Well organised and good fun
I chose the Aston Martin classic car. I'd have liked to driven all 5 cars there. The Mini would be fun.

The drive was nice
Positive: The instructor in the car was very chatty and friendly. Staff were generally friendly and helpful. Negatives: COVID-19 social distancing was minimal trackside. Felt a bit rushed to do the fast lap which ruined the experience a bit. The fast lap driver seemed a bit fed up with his job. They charge £25 damage waiver when you arrive. Not sure why this isn’t included in the price if it’s required or refunded if you bring the car back in one piece.

Classic car experience
The car experience was over very quick! All in all 3 minutes around the track is not enough. We travelled just under 2 hours to Heyford Park and was expecting a little more than literally 3 minutes in the car. The experience of driving a classic car was great but for the amount of money you pay for the experience it would have been more exciting if you get 6 laps for the same price.

They are raking it in
All staff were great, venue really interesting, cars are a great selection. 3 short laps of a tiny track however and there are too many people there. Crowded track felt very cramped and lacked the feel of a personal experience for the price. Was a gift so I didn’t pay myself but it is much more cost effective to hire a performance car for two days on the road. £75 for 3 tiny laps at Udrive or £400 for unlimited miles in 48hrs in a brand new Porsche from many hire companies. Won’t visit again.
