Our best driving experiences in 2026
We've selected some of our top driving experiences to help you find the right one, whether you're chasing adrenaline, getting behind the wheel for the first time, looking for an unforgettable gift or searching for something more budget-friendly. From iconic supercars built for seasoned petrolheads to sessions designed with first-time drivers in mind, there's something here for every car lover.
Every experience is driven at Thruxton, an FIA-certified circuit and the UK's fastest circuit. Here we host the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship and ZYN British Superbike Championship every year, and the same fast straights and sweeping corners that challenge professional racers are what give these cars room to really perform. That's the difference between a quick spin round a small track and genuinely finding out what a supercar can do.
Best driving experience for maximum performance
If adrenaline is what you're after, this is the category to start with. High-spec supercars, sharp handling and acceleration that pins you back in your seat, built for anyone who wants real intensity from behind the wheel.
Every car here has been picked for performance. Naturally aspirated engines that pull hard, right through the rev range, launch control that gets you from 0-60 in seconds, and all-wheel-drive systems that put the power down cleanly through every corner.

Best driving experience for first-time drivers
Never driven a supercar before? Getting behind the wheel of a high-performance car for the first time is easier than you might think, designed to be safe and just as exciting at any driving skill level.
Before you head out on track, our senior ARDS race instructors run through a full briefing covering everything you need to know: circuit layout, racing line, turn in, apex, exit, braking, throttle control, driving position, steering, pedal control, gear changes and fl ag signals. They then stay with you throughout the experience to help you put it all into practice.
You don’t even need a full driving licence. Selected experiences are even available from age 12, making it possible for younger enthusiasts to take the wheel of a performance car on a real racing circuit.
And if driving isn’t for you, you can still experience the full potential of a performance car from the passenger seat. Our Passenger Ride Experience with Tiff Needell takes you around the circuit, performing seemingly impossible sideways slides and pushing the car to its limits.

Driving Experiences at Thruxton Circuit
Thruxton has something for every kind of car enthusiast. Whether you want to feel like your F1 heroes in a single-seater racing car, take the wheel of a high-performance supercar like a Lamborghini or Ferrari, tackle our Skid Pan and master car control in low-grip conditions, or get muddy in a 4x4 off-road vehicle on our purpose-built course. You can also treat younger drivers with our Junior Driving Experiences or hold on tight and enjoy a high-speed ride as a passenger - we’ve got you covered
Thruxton provides all the necessary safety equipment and uses cars suitable for the conditions. Our Skid Pan experience focuses on specialised driving activities, such as skid control and wet weather driving. The 4x4 off-road centre is perfect for a winter driving experience, the off-road vehicles perfectly at home in the mud and rain! Even in winter, Thruxton Circuit offers exciting experiences.
Absolutely! When you book a Thruxton driving experience you’re getting so much more than just a drive. With expert instruction from ARDS qualified race instructors, lots of track time on the same circuit racing legends such as Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris have also driven, and an unforgettable memory. Our driving experiences range from supercars and racing cars, skid pan driving and 4x4 off-road plus outdoor karting, so you can be more flexible with how long you’re driving and how many cars you want to get behind the wheel of.
Each car achieves its goal of being a supercar in a different way. The McLaren feels clinical, the Ferrari is full of theatre and the Lamborghini outrageous, but why choose? We know picking one is tough, which is why we have experiences that let you drive multiple iconic supercar. For example, the Italian Supercar Experience and Supercar Duo let you get behind the wheel of more than one dream supercar. If you’re after the ultimate day out, our Ultimate Supercar Experience covers our most popular high-performance supercars!
Definitely. For serious driver-development, our One-2-One experiences give you more time in-car with focused instruction from our ARDS qualified race instructors. For example, our Porsche Cayman One-2-One experience will have you behind the wheel for over 24 miles on the UK’s fastest race circuit! The Skid Pan experience is also perfect for learning car control (including in your own car) under low-grip conditions.
Choose from top-brands like Aston Martin, McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Each car brand offers their own unique driving experience behind the wheel. We put those cars on track with you at the controls to deliver incredible thrills, but if you’re after that extra “wow” factor, you’ll want one of our Supercar driving experience days.
Driving a Lamborghini at Thruxton Circuit is an unforgettable experience. We have the Lamborghini Huracán available as part of our driving experience line-up. With expert tuition and instructors, a full briefing and proper track time on the UK’s fastest circuit, a Lamborghini Driving Experience at Thruxton allows you to do what most drivers only dream of. Choose from a range of different Lamborghini experiences, depending on how many laps and how much time you want on track.
For a true luxury car driving experience, choose one of our supercar driving experience days featuring the Lamborghini Huracán, McLaren 570S, Ferrari 458, Aston Martin Vantage and other high-end supercar models. Whether you want to drive your dream car or upgrade to a multi-car package to try several, each experience offers the thrill and prestige of world-class supercar performance at Thruxton, the UK’s fastest circuit.
Our driving experiences start with a full briefing by one of our ARDS-qualified race instructors. They’ll walk you through the circuit layout, racing line, flags, and braking point. Then, when you’re in the car you’ll receive expert guidance from one of our ARDS race instructors to ensure you’re safe, confident and making the most of your time on track at Thruxton. For more detailed information contact Thruxton.
Our instructors are ARDS-qualified, highly experienced and fully focused on delivering a great day for you. Thruxton has been running driving experiences for over 35 years, with a strong reputation for quality and professional service. Many of our instructors are champions across a variety of motorsport disciplines including F3, F4, GT’s and Saloon Cars.
You must be 17 or over and hold a full UK driving licence to drive a supercar or racing car on one of our adult driving experiences. For younger drivers, we also offer Junior Driving Experiences from 12 years old and at our kart centre, budding racers can get on track from 8 years old.
We don’t have Formula 1 cars but we do offer Formula Renault and Formula Ford single-seater racing cars (Lewis Hamilton won the UK championship on his way to Formula 1). These are ideal for anyone wanting serious track thrills. We also offer Sports 2000 racing cars for anyone who are too tall for the Formula Renault or Formula Ford racing cars.
