“Amazing Silverstone Drive Experience”
I found I’d booked my single seater drive on BSB day but we had free access to the Superbike event all day with the booking, result! The Drive was excellent, well orchestrated and I got an earlier slot because someone had cancelled. The 20 minute briefing was important, pay attention, and the instructors very helpful. We had a great session with nobody going off or crashing, got in about 20 laps altogether. I’d never driven a car with downforce before, impressive cornering. In a word, brilliant!

What happens on the day?
On arrival at Silverstone you’ll receive a detailed safety briefing and a chance to familiarise yourself with Silverstone’s specially-designed Stowe Circuit. For your first session you’ll take your amazing Single Seater round the circuit following a pace car, building up your speed and confidence as you get used to the car’s controls.
After a short break you’ll be on your own out on the track to prove your racing mettle, using all of your skills and wits to go as fast as you think you can handle.
After your driving experience is over, you and a loved one can make your way to the nearby Villiers Hotel, where you’ll enjoy an overnight stay in a Standard room with charming décor, free Wi-Fi and TV. Set in a former coaching inn, the hotel is home to an AA-Rosette restaurant and close to plenty of nearby attractions. In the morning, you can tuck into a delicious cooked or continental breakfast.

Had an amazing time driving the single seater cars around the Stowe circuit. Cars were great fun and you do get to go for it. Would definitely recommend this. All the staff were great from checking in to putting you in the car. Will definitely do again.
