Kids' Aston Martin Driving Experience

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.

Thoroughly fantastic day - we all enjoyed it immensely, and he can't wait to do it again!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I had a fabulous day at Everyman racing track. I drove the DB9 Aston Martin. I got up to speeds of over 70 miles an hour, not bad for a 14 year old boy! I have a USB stick with all my memories on that I can keep forever, I haven't stopped watching it yet. My mum, uncle and myself all booked a white knuckle ride round the track driven by a former racing car driver, that was wicked too!

A memorable outing from start to finish; my 13 year old son enjoyed his driving experience hugely and can't wait for the next! Everything was well organised and the staff were extremely friendly and professional.

This has got to have been one of the best things I have done in all my life so far... I left the Driving Centre with a beaming smile over my face which lasted for the whole weekend, the memories will stay with me for a lifetime.

The instructors were nice and helped you loads. It was brilliant to get the chance to drive a DB9 and I'm glad I did. It was truly a dream come true.

Thank you for a brilliant experience, my friends didn't believe I was going to do it until I showed them the pictures!

It was amazing that my 12 year old son was able to drive an Aston Martin 4 laps round a track. He was driven round in a Ford Focus with an instructor then was allowed to drive practice laps in a Mini. After that he was let loose in the supercar!! The happiness on his face at the end was priceless and he has not stopped talking about it since. His friends cannot believe he was actually allowed to DRIVE it not taken as a passenger. We've a wonderful picture of him in the car which we purchased separately and he was given a certificate at the end of the day. I would recommend this as a gift to anyone who wants something a little different! I'm now dropping hints to my hubby how I would love the same gift at Christmas!! Thank you so much to all who made this a wonderful day for our son.

My son Chris, who is 14 years old, had the time of his life on the Kid's Aston Martin Driving Experience. The attitude the staff displayed together with their ability to handle teenagers meant that Chris felt at home, relaxed and excited to do something he had never done before.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful when we arrived. I immediately knew that I was in for one big treat and I was not disappointed. It was the most amazing experience to sit in a car and drive for the first time. I started off in a Mini and I amazed myself by learning to change gear without any problems. Although I found this experience really exciting, I did not know just how fantastic it was going to be to drive the Aston Martin. Wow!!!!!!!! I reached 82 miles per hour on the last lap and have a recording of it to prove it to my friends. I have already watched it constantly since coming home. I have shown it to my grandparents, cousins, sister, aunties, uncles, even my 5 cats who also sat and watched it. As you can tell, I have 'driven' everyone mad at home by going on and on about it. I have also put in an early request for my next Christmas present so I had better behave between now and then. The staff at Prestwold Hall deserve a great big thank you from me, Jack Fisher, aged 12.

Fantastic driving the Aston Martin and seeing the other supercars close up and around the circuit. I would definitely do it again!

Always promised my son he could learn to drive when he was taller than me. This met all his expectations with no risk to my car!! He absolutely loved it, from the tentative laps in the mini to 83mph in the Aston Martin. Great addition was being able to buy the in-car recording of his drive and the photos were fab. Would recommend this to anyone! I now want to book myself on for one :-) Great for girls too. He was really buzzing afterwards and is looking forward to the next time!! Thanks to all involved for a really memorable day.
