- 25 minutes’ driving in a Mercedes-Benz
- With a qualified Driving Instructor by their side in a dual controlled car, your Young Driver will spend 25 exhilarating minutes developing basic skills and mastering manoeuvres on the dedicated driving facility

What happens on the day?
On arrival at Mercedes-Benz World at least 30 minutes before your young driver's experience is about to begin, you’ll check in at the experience desk (over on the left). The team will take you through the safety briefing, through the circuits and what your young driver might like to do on the day.
From there you’ll have some time to wander around the building’s three floors before heading to the Young Drivers meeting point and being introduced to your instructor. They’ll introduce them to the vehicle, tell them a bit about it, then hand over the keys so they can get started on their drive with 25 exhilarating minutes developing basic skills and mastering manoeuvres on the dedicated driving facility.
At the end of the experience the young driver will receive an exclusive “Mercedes-Benz World Driving Team T-Shirt”, which is only available to Driving Experience participants!

brilliant treat for 13 year old!
Took our 13 year old daughter for her first driving experience. Although it had to be adjusted slightly due to Covid19, (masks worn, full time driving as couldn't switch with instructor) she had a wonderful time. 30 mind driving an A class Mercedes outside Mercedes World, she got a lovely Mercedes F1 cap, and you could look around Mercedes World too at the history of the cars. Great introduction to driving, also very tempting to book other experiences for myself as you could see them too!

Awesome Experience day
I took a young family friend on a driving experience day at Mercedes Benz World. The instructor in the car was fantastic, she was so patient and encouraging, and really put my friend at ease as it was his first time behind the wheel. He really enjoyed the day. A lot to do at the site, classic and current vehicles to explore and review, films about battery powered future cars, gaming and activities. All in all a great day out.

Excellent first experience
Booked an Under-17 driving experience for my 14 year old son. The whole experience was fantastic. Easy to book online with Virgin, easy to check-in on site, very professional staff, very happy son after 30 minutes in a automatic A-Class with tuition – its not just a jolly. And a t-shirt thrown in too. Very happy all round.

Great day out at Mercedes Benz world
I had the best time driving the car. I had an a class mercades. The lady I had was very polite. I could understand her very very well. The only bad thing about it I did not drive for 30 mins.

My instructor was great. I can’t believe I drive at 35 mph!! It was a great gift from my grandma. I liked all the other cars to see there and we got to see professionals drivers do a display on the skid area.

Great experience all round. First time driver, only having a half hour experience, but it felt more like we all had a two hour experience at least! All staff were polite, professional and good fun. Amazing building. coming back in the new year because we will be purchasing a couple more different experiences. Thank you!

Young driver experience at mercades world
An excellent day for the whole family. Mercedes World is really interesting, even if you’re not that into cars. George has the track experience and he loved it. The instructor was great, very patient and friendly. All the staff were great actually. Would highly recommend.

Awesome experience
This was an Xmas present from my parents. The whole experience was just great if a little too short. The instructor Helene was fabulous and made me feel really comfortable. The car was great to drive and the circuit not too difficult. I will be booking up for an hour session soon.

Great family day out
We took our 10 year old for a Young Driver Experience at Mercedes Benz World and it was a fabulous day out. So much to see and do. We enjoyed lunch at the Gullwing Restaurant, taking in the sights of the track and driver exhibition, then toured the museum before a bit of F1 simulation before taking to the wheel for real. Our son loved it and is now living in his T-Shirt and cap! Highly recommended for all ages.

best birthday present ever" said our teenage son
really professional under 17yrs 30 min driving experience, only marred by the fact that the free Virgin T shirt was not available. In fact Mercedes Benz World didn't even seem to know about it. Come on Virgin, sort it out.

mercedes benz a class
The instructor was very helpful and reassured me a lot, when i got there everyone was very helpful and showed me where to go. the only criticism is that it was badly laid out near the experience days desk and it became very crowded.

Happy son and dad
Booked the young driver experience for my 14yr old as part of his birthday present, even on a wet day it was more than expected with 3 floors to look around and the history it has plus the views to the tracks were great - outside viewing is recommended when dry.

Good but room for improvement
My son enjoyed his time in the car but a couple of points to improve things; Staff could have explained the meeting location better since there there were two gazebos out front - we waited at the wrong one. Your drive is automatically recorded and is available to buy on a USB stick but this option was never explained to us - we had to find out for ourselves.

Quite Good But
It was a good experience but the experience was not quite how it was advertised and I found I couldn’t go above 25mph which I find rather slow because I drive go-karts professionally up to 80mph on this experience we (my family and I) thought it would be like racing but in a road legal car but it was more of getting used to turning and the road. The car and mentor were very good but I felt like I was being restricted because of my age

Young driver track time Mercedez Benz World
Good, professional instructor. Great location to visit. Good car. However this was billed as 30 minutes of driving time (15 getting to know the ropes and 15 on track). That is not what happened. The total in car time was 30 minutes but just under 10 minutes was taken at the end, parked-up, doing a feedback review. Whilst there's no doubting the reflective time was useful, it is not how the experience was sold and 30 minutes drive time is what was anticipated and preferred.

Professional
Mercedes World is an extremely polished & well organised set up. From the chap greeting us genuinely at the door, the lady who told is about what was going to happen regarding the experience, the friendly instructor. The staff chosen to work here are excellent. I am not a car enthusiast but even I found it all intersting especially Brooklands presentation. My 17 year old learner driver enjoyed the experience. It could have been longer. Skidding in the wet was a valuble experience for him & fun
