There’s no better way to experience Silverstone’s amazing track and from the moment you see the striking Silverstone Wing you’ll know you’re in for a real racing experience.
You’ll be taught by an ARDS-licensed instructor, who will teach you how to take Silverstone’s fast and famous corners.

“Still revved up. what to go again.”
Been to a previous experience but this one was by far the very best. Staff helpful, Area was clean and people well spaced out where possible. staff always looking out for your well being especially in the pit area's. Looking into going again.
“Leaves you wanting more”
Was a great morning driving an M2, F430 and Aston but you only get a few laps in each. Would be great to have the option of a whole morning package
