After safety briefing from your instructor, learn basic driving techniques and the track layout in a Ford Fiesta or Subaru Impreza. Then get behind the wheel to drive either the breathtaking Aston Martin DB9 or the stunning V8 Vantage, both capable of over 175mph, for ten minutes yourself. These circuits are designed to put amazing cars such as these through their paces. Conclude with a certificate presentation and leave your experience feeling shaken and stirred.

    • Instruction and training in a Subaru or a Fiesta

    Great Experience

    The set-up is very slick and the staff are obviously very experienced. The fleet of supercars and the facilities there are very comprehensive, and any anxieties soon went away.

    Huge Grins All Round.

    The expression on my sons face as he climbed out of the DB9 having just done 99mph was priceless. The whole experience was so professional and friendly from beginning to end for my son and all of us who were watching him. Getting a huge hug and a massive grin from a usually grumpy teenager made my day as well as his. Thank you so much.

    Best Day Of My Life

    What can I say about this experience? We bought the junior Aston Martin experience for our twelve year old son who is car mad and he has come back wanting to go back for his birthday and next Christmas. We arrived at the circuit to be met by clear and concise instructions for registering and we were then ushered straight into the briefing. All the time my son was getting sweatier palms as he got closer to his dream car. Once the briefing was complete he was taken for a three lap spin to get used to the circuit, then once it was his turn he became James bond for his Aston Martin drive. His instructor was polite and understanding that our son had no car experience at all prior to this day. So once he had had an introduction to the car he was allowed to drive and become the star of the show! All we can say is that it was the perfect day and perfect gift. Thanks to all at Prestwold for making his dream come true.

    Will Remember This Day Forever

    Arrived at Loughborough and was amazed at the efficiency of the experience. There was a briefing followed by a short drive in a Subaru. Then my dreams came true a drive in an Aston Martin DB9; 95 miles an hour round a track. At 14 years old I am now going to save every penny so that I can get the car of my dreams one day. Thank you for making my dream come true

    Wow! Highly Recommended!

    You Must Do This.

    This Aston Martin drive was a Christmas present for my 15 year old son Richard, who like most young men loves cars. He absolutely loved every minute of the day. All the staff were very friendly which helped make the day even more enjoyable. Safety is paramount but does not spoil the enjoyment and when it comes to sitting in that driving seat for the first time the instructors are friendly and want you to have the best day ever, I know Rich did he's still talking about it. Thanks to all the team for a truly fantastic day.

    In One Word: 'Awesome'!

    The experience was amazing and watching my son drive the Aston brought tears to my eyes - The big hug and a huge 'thank you' from my son said it all. Very well organised couldn't praise the staff enough.

    I took two 12 year old boys who drove Aston Martin cars. The staff at Everyman were great with them, very welcoming and ensured they had a good time.

    I booked this for my son's 12th birthday as I thought it was a fantastic opportunity and something that I had not heard anyone else doing. When we finally told him he was over the moon. On the day, we hit traffic and just arrived at the venue on time. The Staff couldn't have been more helpful and re-booked us in for an hour later so we could catch our breath. The facilities were good, and as a spectator you are right next to the pits so you can see all the action. Once you have had the briefing, everything flows really well and there is very little waiting around. The instructors were all polite and friendly and spent time instructing our son on the use of the controls (especially the clutch!). The practise cars are now Subura Imprezas and Mitsubishi Evos so that was an added bonus. After four laps in the Subura it was time for the Aston DB9. Joe managed 95 mph on his final lap and was thrilled. We took the photo and digital package and the photos are great. Well worth the money.

    Its hard to get a reaction from a twelve year old boy, usually questions are answered by a grunt or a nod but after the Aston Martin experience he couldn't stop talking and when asked where he rated the day out of ten , he said ten...the first time ever.

    I Thought My Son Would Never Stop Smiling!!!

    My son was terrified, as were all the other youngsters around him! But... what a difference an hour makes! He now wants an Aston Martin of his own! The staff and instructors were, without a doubt, fantastic and so patient. My son has special needs and you wouldn't have known it! Brilliant!

    A Fantastic Experience For Our Son

    Junior Aston Martin Driving

    Our son had a great time and loved the chance to drive an Aston Martin. All the instuctors were brilliant, bearing in mind our son had never driven a car before, and we couldn't believe he could pick it up so quickly. The photos taken from the trackside by the special lap camera was a great way to capture the day's memories, and something our son definitely will never forget. All his school friends now think he has an Aston Martin after seeing the photos. We would definitely recommend this to anybody who wants to give their child a special experience.

    Had A Fantastic Day For All The Family

    Junior Aston Martin Driving

    We hadn't told our son Joshua when his experience was and when we arrived he was so excited and so was I. He had two brilliant instructors who helped him have the best drives he could. The Aston Martin was just brilliant and we got his drives recorded which made his day. My daughter and I couldn't leave the location without going out in a car so we opted for some high speed laps in a Subaru which made her day as well as mine. The weather was also on our side and we had a dry day and everybody really enjoyed themselves.

    Excellent Experience

    Junior Aston Martin Driving

    The briefing and test run at the start of the session were both very helpful, as they assured they I could get to know the track before I actually started driving. The first drive allowed me to get to grips with the procedures of driving safely, quickly and effortlessly. After all this I was able to drive round for ten minutes in an Aston Martin DB9, which was absolutely amazing. The instructors for all three parts of the session were very helpful and supportive all the way through, and altogether the experience was fantastic.
