  • Exclusive to this venue
  • Briefing from a qualified instructor
  • Demo laps in a sports saloon
  • Drive twelve miles in the race prepared V8 Vauxhall Monaro

Be warned - this car is not for the faint hearted! Feel what it's like to be an Aussie touring car driver in this monstrous 5.7 litre, V8 Vauxhall Monaro. Pushing out over 400bhp and prepared to full FIA race specification, this beast includes a full roll cage, racing seats and six point race harness, all of which combine to allow you to experience the raw exhilaration of brute power. You'll start off with a short briefing from your qualified instructor, who will talk you through racing lines and track driving techniques. Next your instructor will drive you round the circuit in a sports saloon for two miles of familiarisation laps, to demonstrate the racing lines. Then you'll take the driving seat of the six speed, 160mph V8 Monaro. You'll drive the car for twelve miles in total around the thrilling Rockingham Race Circuit, before finishing with a question and answer session and collecting your certificate. So go ahead and release your inner Mad Max, if you think you're hard enough.

Location:

Corby, Northamptonshire

Weather: Driving may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow, ice, heavy rain or high winds) which would make driving at speed dangerous. Please call the venue if in any doubt.

Dress Code: Wear trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and flat-soled shoes. A helmet will be provided, or you can bring your own if you have one (which will be tested for safety).
