About

The pocket rocket of the motor world, this car is so light and has so much power that it can reach 0 - 60 in a staggering 2.7 seconds. The Ariel Atom is an amazing piece of engineering. Built with a lightweight chassis and minimal body panels in aid of saving weight, it isn't your average looking sports car - no roof, no doors, no compromise. Throw in the fact that it is capable of reaching a top speed of 150mph and you've got yourself a driving experience that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. You'll start off with a short briefing from your qualified instructor who will talk to you about racing lines and track driving techniques. Next they will drive you round the circuit in a sports saloon for approximately two miles of familiarisation laps. Then you'll take the driving seat of the awesome Atom yourself for six miles of driving in total, before finishing with a question and answer session and collecting your certificate. This experience is fast, fun and slightly crazy!

Weather: Driving may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow, ice, heavy rain or high winds) which would make driving at speed dangerous. Please call the venue if in any doubt.
