About

It's a classic battle when passion squares up versus precision engineering, with Italy versus Germany - Ferrari versus Porsche. Ever since the first sports car hit the road, these two great marques have striven to outdo each other, to produce a car that is slightly better than their competitor's latest model. It's now your chance to drive both cars on the UK's fastest circuit and decide which you prefer. Following a safety briefing your instructor will drive for three training laps in a Mazda 3 MPS so that you can learn the racing lines. Then you'll take the wheel for four thrilling laps in the Porsche Cayman, a fantastic driver's car with outstanding handling. Next experience the magic of the Ferrari 355 for a further four awe-inspiring laps. With a top speed of 170mph and a 0 - 60mph time of just 4.6 seconds, the F355 is one of Maranello's most breathtaking models. Finish in style with a high-speed passenger ride from a professional driver in a Mazda 3 MPS, to show you how it's done.
