  • About

    Porsche continue to make some of the world's most iconic and exciting sports cars. With handling and acceleration that has to be experienced to be believed, it's your turn to find out what makes these cars legendary. You'll start off with a short briefing from your qualified instructor. What happens next depends on venue: at Prestwold Hall, Oxfordshire or Staffordshire circuits, you'll tear around for between six and seven miles in the 997 version of the 911. At Prodrive, Bruntingthorpe, Elvington or Long Marston you'll drive the awesome 996 Turbo for between four and five laps. So buckle up and enjoy the pinnacle of German engineering.

    • Choose between the Porsche 996 Turbo, the 997 or the latest Cayman
    • Take the wheel and feel the thrill as you tear around the track
    • Take home a certificate as a memento of your fabulous day

    I had a truly wonderful afternoon, everyone was so welcoming and friendly, the information video was excellent, slightly daunting, but once on the road it all came together. My instructor, John Reid, was very kind, calm, friendly, reassuring and extremely professional. It was not an event I would have booked for myself, but I am so glad my partner did, it was a birthday present. We have been talking about it none stop and I think I may be booking something for him, he fancies the Aston Martin. Thank you to all the staff very friendly and efficient. My incar DVD is brilliant. Came away with a very big smile on my face.

    A Great Day For Petrol Heads!

    My husband had a great time driving & as spectators we did too. The 4 laps went very quickly, I think 5-6 laps would be more of an experience, I would certainly do this again at Dunsfold. Great to have food, drink and loo's too! All in all although busy, a great few hours spent

    Excellent - Never Done Anything Like It Previously

    Heyford Park

    A brilliant morning - only 10 minutes in the car but a lifetime of memories. U-Drive has enhanced the experience by taking the drivers oiut around the course on a 'sighting lap' in a minibus so you're not seeing the circuit for the first time when sat in a supercar. Brilliant instructors, excellent briefing and generally very efficient staff. The only downside is the circuit itself - The track is laid out with cones which are a bit daunting (i.e. narrow) and also a bit difficult to 'read' the corners as there are so many of them!! It would be better ifg the track could be painted on 'Top Gear' style, but I imagine this might be a restriction of the airfiled itself which is a World Heritage site. Great value though better if you do a second drive for a discounted price.

    Thruxton Circuit

    The drive and information given on the two laps by the instructor in the Porsche Cayman was good and not too technical. During my drive all instructions, criticism and praise were all given in a friendly calm manner. Not sure if it would have been as informative in the instructors two lap drive if it had been in a car other than the Cayman as handling etc would have been different. All in all, a very good, exhilerating couple of hours very well spent.

    Thruxton Circuit

    I've done several trackdays recently, and although this wasn't the fastest car I've driven, Thruxton is easily the best venue I've been to for a trackday. From the moment I arrived everything was so well organised and unlike other venues there was no waiting around for a car to become available, no sooner had I finished the drivers' briefing I was introduced to my instructor and was out on track! I was particularly impressed with the fact that I was taken out in the Porsche for the familiarisation lap and that it was done on a 1-2-1 basis, the instructor was absolutely fantastic and really made me feel at ease with the car and the circuit. I'd definitely book another driving experience at Thruxton and would recommend this to anyone.

    Quite Literally A Day I'll Never Forget!!!

    I booked this experience as a treat for myself having lost the best part of 75lb's in weight. The whole day was exactly what I was looking for, chance to watch all of the other cars going around the track, quick and simple to book in and a great briefing. The instructor was great - really patient, encouraging and all the instructors seemed to have a real passion for making sure everyone had a great day. Would recommend to anyone in a second!

    Kenilworth Test Track

    The weather for the day was grey and the sky overcast with threatening clouds. Thankfully the rain held off. Familiarisation seems all too easy but in practice was too short; you need several laps to begin to learn the course. A practiced driver reminded us that 2 hands on the wheel was preferable to using one to hide behind - you think he's joking? Pedal to the metal is just the start of it - those cones arrive soooo quickly that it's pedal to the metal again with the brake.......and then it's all change and pedal to the metal with the other one. Fantastic understates it and you come away with a lot more respect for those F1 Johnnies and all of the other folk that race cars for fun and to provide enjoyment. Do it...........at least once!!

    Thoroughly Good Fun
