Availability
Occasional Saturdays at Rockingham and selected weekend and weekday dates in Lancashire and Derbyshire. Dates fill very quickly, so we recommend you book several weeks (at least six) in advance.
Participant Guidelines
Minimum age is 18. Maximum weight is 18 stone. Minimum height is 5'3'', maximum is 6'4''. You must have held a full, current and valid British or international manual driving licence for at least 12 months; bring it with you on the day.
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.
Duration
Expect to be at the circuit for up to two hours, including your briefing and time driving the Ariel Atom. You are normally asked to arrive around 15 minutes in advance of your booked time to ensure a prompt start.
Numbers On Day
All in-car tuition is on a one-to-one basis. Briefings are held in groups of up to 30 people. There might be other vehicles on the track at the same time as you (if you're lucky you'll experience some awesome overtaking).
Spectators
Spectators are welcome and there are cafe/clubhouse facilities on site. Please note that animals are not allowed at the circuit, with the exception of guide dogs.
Dress Code
Wear trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and flat-soled shoes. A helmet will be provided, or you can bring your own if you have one (which will be tested for safety).
