The perfect birthday gift
If you’re looking for the perfect birthday treat for a loved one who’s passionate about cars or you’re just wanting a fun day out, why not sign up for one of the many driving experiences available out there. Up and down the country providers offer anything from driving a supercar on a race track for 10 minutes to several hours in the mud in a 4×4. You can even try driving a tank or settle for a quad bike.
If you’re fancying a 4×4 driving experience this is offered all around the country including Brands Hatch in Kent and Oulton Park in Cheshire. If you’ve never been off road driving in a 4×4 before you start out on the easier parts of the course and slowly build up your skills and techniques until you can progress to a more complex course. This will typically include a variety of obstacles such as steep drops and waist-high water passes to test your newly gained skills to the maximum. An experience at any of these two places will set you back just under £200 and typically include 50 minutes behind the wheel.
Other venues offering a similar course is Knockhill in Fife where £118 gets you up to 2 hours in-car action and Thruxton in Hampshire where £100 pays for a 2h course sharing with 2 other drivers.
If the experience makes you want to go and test drive a 4×4 on the tarmac too why not make a detour to your local 4×4 dealer on your way home. From Cheshire why not drive west and test out a new Land Rover. Bangor is one place you’ll find a dealership.
