The latest Porsche Cayman is a genuine junior supercar. Similar in looks to the 911 but with a mid-engine layout, this new model has the larger 2.9-litre engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Out on track the car gives incredible feedback, allowing the driver to build in confidence and enjoy the increased power and incredible grip that the car generates. Nowhere else in the UK will you drive such an expensive and new car as your introduction to a driving experience.

We use the Formula Renault race car which is firmly placed on the ladder to F1. Many of the current crop of F1 drivers have raced in this formula with Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton both winning the UK series. Once seated with the racing straps fitted around you the engine bursts into life you'll feel like a Grand Prix is about to start. Once up to speed, everything clicks into place as you and the car become one, getting quicker every lap, the car responding instantly. A truely unique experience and one you'll remember forever. |

Hold on tight as our resident Stig takes you out for the white knuckle ride of your life. Experiencing a car at its full potential with a professional racing driver at the wheel is incredible. The car appears to dance over the tarmac as the racing driver makes small but purposeful inputs to the cars steering wheel. Through the fast sweeping curves you'll start to feel the g-force as you try and hold yourself in the seat. Under brakes you'll feel the car searching for grip then the tyres forcing the chassis into the next corner at seemingly impossible speeds. |

About the experience
PLEASE NOTE: For the 2010 season the Ferrari F430 and Porsche 911 Turbo element of this experience will be replaced by the brand new Ferrari supercar, the California. And The fantastic Audi R8. The California is more expensive than the F430, lighter and the first to use Ferrari's new twin clutch gearbox. This car is simply stunning. The Audi R8 caused a storm in the supercar world when it was released and is now the new standard. Purely brilliant.
This has to be the best driving experience in the UK (probably the world).
The cars you will drive on this ultimate driving experience add up to over £560,000 Three of the worlds most usable and desirable Supercars, all with a different approach to reach the same goal.
Before the supercar comes some time to learn the circuit in the new Porsche Cayman - A fantastic drivers cars that inspires confidence and will set you up perfectly to experience the 4 best supercars in the world today.
The latest model from Ferrari, the F430 with a highly tuned normally aspirated 4.3 litre V8. The nimble Porsche 997 Turbo with huge grip and fantastic but easily accessible turbocharged performance, plus every day practicality. Finally, the heavy hitter that is the Lamborghini LP670-4 SV Murciélago, rare as they come, with the looks, big big power, that is so effectively transmitted to the road via the 4 wheel drive system and a monstrous 6.5 litre V12 engine.
All three are stunningly effective, very fast and great fun to drive. But, they are also very different in the way they drive, making your experience even more interesting. Reading the glossy motoring press will never be the same again – you will know exactly what the journalists are talking about – and you can agree, or disagree with their views!
