  • Get behind the wheel of a race-prepared Mini Cooper S

Get behind the wheel of a race prepared Mini Cooper S and find out why these sporty little cars are loved by so many. Your experience begins with a briefing from a qualified instructor who will talk you through racing lines, techniques and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then you'll be driven around the circuit in a sports saloon for two demonstration and familiarisation laps, before putting the theory into practice by taking the driving seat of the Mini Cooper S yourself for six miles. To round it all off, your instructor will take you for the ride of your life at competition speed in a hot hatch to show you how the professionals do it. Conclude your experience with a question and answer session and certificate presentation.

Locations:

Castle Donington, Derbyshire
