    Experience either the Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9 and the brand new Nissan GT-R. Aston Martin's are beautifully crafted modern classics with awesome power, phenomenal acceleration and superb handling. The Nissan is the UK's fastest car in its price range, reaching 62mph in just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 195mph. Kick off with a briefing on driving techniques, then your ARDS instructor will drive you for two 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 Nissan GT-R for a further four laps. Your driving will be assessed and you'll walk away with a certificate as a memento.

    Efficiently run. Very helpful and courteous staff, all aiming to make it a good experience. You should offer some choices of more laps, as after 4 laps you are only just starting to really enjoy it!

    Wow!!!! What A Fantastic Experience

    The speed and handling of the GTR is unbelieveable - had a fantastic time and will never forget it. Many thanks to my wife for getting me this gift, and to Red Letter Days for making it happen. I might have to go back there this weekend if I get the chance to sneak out!

    Out Of This World! Best Day Ever!

    6.30am in bed wide awake awaiting a memorable day. 8.00am set off to the track! Sky's clear, sun shining, tarmac awaiting. 9.45am group brief and key information - then out to the track for a demonstration lap round the 1.8 mile track in a Ford Focus ST. Really good demonstration of the track with lots of useful key points. Now showtime - all geared up, cameras ready and the beautiful Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante awaiting me in the morning sun. Straight in, quick brief about the Aston then away I went, accelerating out of the pit and out into the horizon to complete 4 breathtaking laps of the track. Then it was time to move on to Japan's powerhouse, the Nissan GTR. Quick brief again and away I go exploding out of the pit with mind blowing acceleration and high speeds. A day to truly remember and I will soon be back, but for now back to reality and thank you!
