  • Get behind the wheel of a race-prepared Mini Cooper S

  • For a limited period the experience includes a high-speed passenger ride!

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 at one of three great racing circuits. They will talk you through racing lines, techniques and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then you'll be driven around the circuit in a sports saloon for two demonstration and familiarisation laps (i.e. nearly four miles), before putting the theory into practice by taking the driving seat of the Mini Cooper S yourself for six miles. To round it all off, your instructor will take you for the ride of your life at competition speed in a hot hatch to show you how the professionals do it. Conclude your experience with a question and answer session and certificate presentation.

Locations:

Corby, Northamptonshire; Castle Donington, Derbyshire; Wigan, Lancashire
