About

Get behind the wheel of a race prepared Mini Cooper S and find out why these sporty little cars are loved by so many. Your experience begins with a briefing from a qualified instructor who will talk you through racing lines, techniques and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then you will be driven around the circuit in a sports saloon for four miles of demonstration and familiarisation laps, before putting the theory into practice by sliding into the driving seat and taking the wheel of the Mini Cooper S yourself. You will drive the car for six miles and conclude your experience with a question and answer session and certificate presentation.
