About

Two world-famous marques go head to head - with you in the driving seat. Experience either the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9 and the Audi R8 and discover what makes these cars so special. The gorgeous Aston Martin's are beautifully crafted modern classics with awesome power, phenomenal acceleration and superb handling. With the R8, Audi's leading designers have pushed the boundaries of racing technology, futuristic construction and luxury refinement to deliver a 187mph car which is as thrilling to drive as it is stunning to look at. You'll kick off with a briefing on driving techniques, then your ARDS instructor will drive you for three training laps in a performance car so that you can learn the racing lines. Next, take the wheel yourself of either the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9 for four laps around the 1.8 mile long track. Then step into the Audi R8 for a further four laps. Your driving will be assessed and you'll walk away with a certificate as a memento of your day.
