“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

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.
