About

Get behind the wheel of the fantastic new Nissan GT-R. Benchmarked against the Porsche 911 Turbo during its development, but costing half the price, the GT-R goes from 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds, and onto an incredible top speed of 195mph. The UK's fastest car for the price, it even lapped Germany's famous Nurburgring quicker than the Bugatti Veyron! Your experience begins with a briefing from a qualified instructor who'll talk you through racing lines, 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 three 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 473bhp 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. Your driving will be assessed and you'll walk away with a certificate as a memento of your day.
