  • About

    Get behind the wheel of the fantastic new Nissan GT-R. The experience begins with a briefing from a qualified instructor who'll discuss racing lines, helpful techniques and how to best handle the car out on track. Then you'll be driven around the circuit in a BMW Alpina D3 for two demo laps before putting the theory into practise in the pinnacle of Japanese performance engineering. With 4WD, a 3.8-litre V6 engine and two turbochargers, this 473 bhp beast is guaranteed to impress. Drive four breathtaking laps of the 1.8 mile circuit, specially designed to put cars like this through their paces. Conclude with a driving assesment and you'll walk away with a certificate as a memento of your day.

    An Amazing Car

    Peter C, 18 Nov 2011

    I was initially disappointed to only be able to drive the GTR when booking my experience. However, this feeling was quickly dispelled on arrival at the Prestwold Driving Centre - the GTR was clearly the fastest road-legal car on the circuit! The instructor was first class, pushing me to improve my speed and driving skills on each lap. Despite only having 4 laps in which to enjoy this car, this was sufficient time to appreciate the GTR's incredible performance - the instructor lined me up to successfully overtake both a Ferrari and Lamborgini as if they were stationary (which they weren't)! I would definitely encourage my friends to take part in a similar experience, particularly if they also have the opportunity to sample driving a GTR!

    Fantastic Day

    The people were so friendly and made you feel so relaxed. Everything was very smoothly run! The actual thrill was so amazing and the instructor was brilliant, made you feel so calm.

    I Didn't Want To Get Out Of The Car!

    Fantastic experience, even the hordes of wasps couldn't detract from the pure enjoyment of the day. My family said that the smile on my face may have needed surgery to remove it!
