Overview
Learn part of the famous Grand Prix circuit from behind the wheel of the newest addition to the Silverstone fleet: the Aston Martin Vantage.
The V8 Vantage is a stunning combination of British glamour and speed, with a brand-new cockpit boasting a lower driving position along with an eight-speed paddle shift gearbox, and speeds up to 195mph. From the moment you see the striking Silverstone Wing you’ll know you’re in for a real racing experience, and as you fly your Vantage past the pits and down the International straight you’ll be able to hear the roar of its high powered 4.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine.
You’ll be taught by an ARDS-licensed instructor, who’ll teach you how to take Silverstone’s famous corners.

Aston-ishing!
Great Day ! From just visiting Silverstone to driving an Aston Martin Vantage Well organised and had a fun time From watching races as a spectator years ago to now being able to drive on the track itself is amazing but in my favourite sports car also was just immense. Thanks to all the instructors and team for a great day.

Great day, extremely well organised. Top rate instructor giving excellent precise instructions enabling a safe, fast and exhilarating, confident although not necessarily competent (my fault) drive. Finished the drive with a large smile on my face. Thank you Simon

Not much more to say other than this was well worth the money. All of the Silverstone team were very friendly and welcoming, the driving team themselves were definitely the real deal. Thank you so much

Awesome experience
This was a birthday present and probably one of the best I have had! From begining to end the process was smooth and efficient, the people were helpful and personable. The 'Drivers Briefing' was very informative and necessary especially when someone like me has not driven like this ever! As I had never done anything like this I was a little apprehensive to be honest, but my instructor, Michael Broadhurst, made this a fantastic event, his input and guidance was perfect! Thanks guys!

A real 'experience'.
To drive an iconic British car on the Silverstone circuit was a brilliant experience. Well organised, with excellent instruction. I consider the photographic memories were reasonable priced and worth having.

Had a great experience driving the famous Silverstone circuit over 2 sessions. Not a fast driver by nature and a gift for my 50th, but as a big F1 fan absolutely loved every minute of it. Well organised, look after nicely and a fantastic day!! Highly recommended.

Driving thrill in an Aston Martin car
What a fantastic thrill & day. I am giving 4 stars reluctantly as if you wanted a video footage of your driving you need to go to another desk to queue up which was busy but if they had this as you signed in... " Video card Yes or No" then the process would have been much smoother and 5 stars awarded. Go on treat yourself and drive round silverstone and enjoy this experience. Co-drivers very helpful and wanted you to drive fast...

Great fun
The Aston Martin car is really good fun to drive, really fast, really comfortable and so smooth. Only downside is track is short and would be nice to have a long straight to push the car to high speed. All in all good day out

Highly recommended
Had a terrific experience, despite the bad weather - although maybe that added to the thrill. The instructor was very informative and enabled me to get the most out of the day and I was really thrilled. The only negative aspect was that the in-car filming was problematic and I am having to return the USB stick for potential resurrection. This hasn't spoilt the experience but it's thwarted my bragging ability with my mates!

Aston Martin Experience
Very well organised, the briefing was a good way to learn the track and techniques used to handle the car. Decent amount of time in the car and I felt 8 laps gave adequate value for money. Friendly and helpful instructor. The only complaint would be the in car video option. I paid for this upfront beforehand but ended up asking for a refund as the footage was jerky, stopped in places and didn't show a full lap.

Aston Martin Experience-Silverstone
A great experience, well run. But i have two gripes. 1. Acclimatisation lap was taken far to fast. you were concentrating to hang on to your seat, therefore you had no idea of the circuit. 2. the car was fabulous but i have never used paddles before and took a while to get used to.therefore you need more time to get used to the car. So, need a slower lap by your Silverstone driver and more laps to get used to the car.

Disappointing
This was bought by my children for my Birthday. They did not expect me to have to pay for anything. This is not the case. The first thing that greets you is a £20 charge for damage waiver. Lets be honest, this is a racing experience and far more qualified people than me crash these cars so why on earth would it not be included? I would have also thought that 1 photo could be included considering you would have to have quite good vision to recognise me in a photo taken by an autobot.

Short changed...disappointing
The circuit we had on the day had been changed due to an event going on but Silverstone had not informed us prior to our visit so this was a surprise and disappointment when we were informed on our arrival and briefing. This meant we were driving on a shorter circuit so had less mileage in the Aston. Disappointing overall.
