  • About

    A truly winning combination - the hair-raising thrill of rally driving, twinned with the absolute rush of driving an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Start the driving experience with a welcome, introduction and safety briefing. Then take the wheel for six miles driving a Subaru Impreza STi or Mitsubishi Evo 8. Once visitors have caught their breath, they can experience the thrill of the Aston Martin for another six miles. Next up is a session doing handbrake turns in a Renault Clio on gravel, followed by a high-speed passenger ride from a professional, back on the mile-long circuit. Complete the experience with a presentation of a certificate to remember the day out by. Bring a guest along and they can even enjoy a free 4x4 off road passenger ride.

    We bought this gift for my husband who really enjoyed himself but myself and two daughters came to watch and found that there were not enough seating areas for the spectators,the cafe was very small.

    Great Day Out.

    Could possibly have been given more time in each car, but otherwise the experience was worth it.

    I had a great morning at Seighford. It was all very well organised and the instructors in each car were very friendly and gave superb instructions on how to drive the cars and negotiate the circuits to maximium effect. Drving the Aston Martin & Subaru was scary and exhilarating at the same time. The Clio handbrake turns were great fun. The weather was dry. Also my partner had a excellent view of me driving round the tracks. An excellent day out. Thanks.

    Aston- Great

    Track was busy for subaru drive, would have liked longer in passenger car. Aston drive was great because track was clear. Venue could do with better catering.
