What happens on the day?
On arrival you will normally be asked to sign an indemnity form which will also require parental/guardian signature for under 18's. Your training session will usually be shared with other drivers. You will be given an initial briefing, followed by track familiarisation and instruction from a qualified instructor before being allowed out solo in a single-seater racing car once you have been judged safe enough.
Choose one of five circuits across the UK, each offer the same adrenaline filled experience but driving times may vary per location.
Participant guidelines
- Minimum age: 17 (under 18’s need parental/guardian consent) at most locations, 18 at Oxfordshire
- Restrictions vary at each location but generally:-
Minimum height: 5ft
Maximum height: 6ft 4in
Maximum weight: 16 to 18 stone - Participants must hold a full UK driving licence, which must be presented on the day (some locations may require this to have been held for at least a year). Exact itinerary will vary by location and at certain venues all driving time is in the single seater
- Spectators are usually welcome. Occasionally a centre may make a small charge to cover insurance and refreshments. Some venues may have restrictions on small children due to safety regulations. Facilities for spectators vary between centres, so please check when booking
- The experience content, equipment used and restrictions may vary according to location
- The centres contracted with us hold public indemnity liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover.
Some driving operators require customers to complete an Indemnity/Damage waiver form on the day of the experience. This may state that the driver will be liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most of these suppliers are able to provide Indemnity/Damage Waiver at a small additional fee (usually £20-£45) payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the Public Liability Insurance held by all venues. The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver will be provided by the activity operator. We are unable to advise or comment on the content or suitability of these products.
Please ensure you are familiar with the terms and conditions of the experience
Availability
This experience is available on selected dates throughout the year.
Please note: the voucher is valid on selected Monday to Fridays at Knockhill. Selected weekend dates may be available for an upgrade of £30 payable direct and subject to availability.
We recommend you book at least eight weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available. All bookings are subject to availability.
Allow 2 to 3 hours for your experience, although this may vary between centres. Some centres may run the course on a more intensive time-scale and your visit may be shorter duration, but will contain as much driving time as a session shared with other group members. Driving times vary from 20 to 45 minutes depending on location.

Single Seater Driving Experience - Thruxton
I can recommend this as an awesome experience for anyone wanting a taste of single seaters. You get 3 laps driven by an instructor in a saloon car, 3 laps driving a Porsche Cayman with an instructor giving guidance, then 5 laps in a single seater. The track is suprisingly busy with other experiences going on, along with Tiff Needell flying past at warp speed. You have the opportunuty to purchase photos taken at the last chicance or a video from onboard GoPro

Single Seater Experience
Took mine at Thruxton and been smiling since. Booking was a doddle via a short phone call, followed up with confirmation Email within minutes. Day consisted of 3 laps in a normal car driven by instructor showing the circuit. Each lap getting faster. Then 3 laps driving a Porsche with instructor beside guiding and assessing your ability. Then 5 laps alone in the single seater. They even threw in a fast lap with one of their drivers. Tiff Needell was scaring people too with FAST laps!!.😳
