Kick off with an introductory briefing on high-speed driving techniques, followed by two demonstration laps in a performance car, driven by the instructor. Then it's time to take control of each of the supercars: the stunning Aston Martin V8 Vantage or DB9, the sleek Ferrari F430, the ferocious Lamborghini Gallardo and the phenomenal rear-engine Porsche 911 - four cars which represent the pinnacle of performance engineering. Drive six miles in each one and then receive a driving assessment, in addition to a special certificate to take home.
