  • About

    Two world-famous marques go head-to-head - with you in the driving seat. Experience the Ferrari 355 or 360 and the Aston Martin DB9 or V8 Vantage and discover what makes these cars so special. All models have phenomenal acceleration, braking and handling. The Ferraris revel in sweeping bends and high-speed straights. The stunning Aston Martins are beautifully crafted modern classics with plenty of power and performance to stir the soul. You'll kick off with a briefing on driving techniques. Next, take the wheel yourself of the Ferrari for between four and seven miles round the track. Once you've got your breath back, step into the Aston for further laps.

    • Get an initial briefing and learn new driving techniques
    • Take the driving seat of a stunning Ferrari
    • Enjoy driving an iconic Aston Martin (DB9 or V8 Vantage)

    Having done a similar day at Silverstone with lots of hanging about, I have to say that the organisation at Dinington was excellent. Very slick registration and straight to the briefing then the cars. Well done Donington for making it a superb day.

    Start Saving.....!

    It is the best day out I have had out in years. All the staff were great, it was really well run but still enjoyable and the DB9. I have asked the Missus to flog the house, so we can buy one and live in it.

    A Thrilling Day

    I had an absolutely wonderful day at Kenilworth Test Track. I drove an Aston Martin DB9 and Ferrari 360. Both cars took my breath away! The level of service provided was top-notch - I was made to feel welcome and not just on a conveyor belt (as I know is the general feeling with other track days). My instructors were very patient and genuinely passionate about their job. I was given some great tips to improve my driving, ranging from racing lines to use and when and how to brake. I felt that both instructors wanted me to get the best out of the day and were not just there to ensure that I did not wreck the cars! All in all a great day out and I will certainly be back again.....thanks Red Letter Days! Andrew

    Great Experience

    This was a gift for my husband and we travelled from Cornwall to spend the weekend in Oxford. He had a great time and enjoyed every minute. It was very well organised and although refreshments were very limited, the weather held up for the afternoon. If you are taking a young family -take a picnic.

    From when you arrive and the cars are going round you start to get a buzz of anticipation of what's to come. Experiences often disappoint but this didn't from registration to briefing to the fantastic instructors and their cars the whole day was just Brilliant! If you've never had a go this is a must have present, start hinting now

    Good Day, Wrong Track!

    Three Sisters Race Circuit

    Very well organised experience. There were quite a lot of people booked in for the same time slot so i thought i would be hanging around for long periods, this wasn`t the case. There is a variety of cars and the marshals keep things moving along smoothly. The Ferraris are looking a bit tired but drove ok. The track is short with alot of bends so you dont really appreciate how powerful the cars are as you only use 3rd and occasionaly 4th gear then you are braking around the bends. The track is more suited to a Lotus elise or the Atom. The instructors are all experienced drivers and help you get the best out of the car.

    Great Experience

    Rockingham Race Circuit

    Great experience to drive two supercars, but the time in the cars simply wasn't long enough for me. The Team at Rockingham were brilliant, although the in-car instructors could have been a little more proactive in their instructions to get the most of the few laps driven. I'd happily do it again and spend more money, but only if I thought I was getting more time behind the wheel.

    Good Day. Instructors Were Really Good

    I have always dreamt of having the opportunity to drive a Ferrari and an Aston Martin, so to be given this as a birthday present was literally a dream come true. The staff were extremely polite, patient and well informed. The cars were just fantastic. Unfortunately the day was over as quick as it came, but it was a fantastic experience even for my partner who enjoyed it just as much even though she wasn't driving. I cannot fault anything on the day, even the chip butty was delicious. Thank you again for a fantastic experience and helping me make one of my dreams come true.

    Unforgetable Day

    From the very start everything about this event was handled in a most professional way. The briefing set the tone, and the instructors were simply brilliant. Their knowledge and encouragement made the ride a quite thrilling experience, and I doubt I will ever forget the excitement of this day. Well done to everyone concerned, you'll definitely be seeing me again.

    My son, Stephen, bought me the Ferrari v Aston Martin Red Letter Day as a birthday present, and what a wonderful present it was. Having driven many different cars over the past 50+ years for more than an estimated 1 million miles, I had never got behind the wheel of either of these two fabulous marques. To be able to drive each of them around a race track was a memory that will stay with me forever. I was able to use the real potential of these super cars in a way that is not possible on normal roads. Everything was what I was hoping for and then more. Excellent instruction as well. What a day!

    Best Experience Ever!

    What a fantastic day, the experience was better than I had imaged it would be. After driving the Aston I told my girlfriend that we have to sell the house and buy one! Can't wait too book another driving day, next time I will try all the cars and a photo with the resident Stig just topped it off! Top day!

    Thrilling Experience.

    The opportunity to put my foot to the floor in a Ferrari 360 was one I will never forget and would heartily recommend.

    I had an amazing day at Heyford Park, although there was a lot of waiting around for your turn it was well worth the wait as the cars were amazing! I fell in love with the Aston Martin and found the instructors helped me to really get the most out of the car. I will spend the next 20 years saving up to buy one now! Thank you Red Letter Days
