High Speed Passenger Ride in a two-seat racing car - Instructor drives

It's a two-seat racing car that runs on slick racing tyres has an F1 style paddle-shift gearbox which is connected to a whopping 2.8 litre V6 naturally aspirated engine. It's a white knuckle ride you'll never forget. Under brakes you'll feel the car searching for grip then the tyres forcing the chassis in to the next corner at seemingly impossible speeds

What to expect from the Tesco Three Car Passenger Ride

Hold tight as one of our performance saloon, the Ford Focus ST screams around the circuit on the limit of adhesion. Next up is the brand new Alpine A110S, this fantastic mid-engine sports car is at home on the track and really excels.

Then full speed in the two-seat racing car. It's a proper open wheel racing car. Unleashed around the 2.4-mile circuit it's an amazing experience.

This is a white knuckle ride you'll remember for a long time to come!

Winner of the Top Gear Magazine Hot Hatch award and you'll understand why the moment you get behind the wheel and head out on track. The ST is propelled by a brilliant 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 276bhp and 310lb ft of torque. Helping put that power down is a brilliant chassis, a limited-slip differential, adaptive damping and 19-inch wheels.

The Alpine A110S adds some subtle changes to the already brilliant A110. An extra 39bhp and taking power to 288bhp. The anti-roll bars are 100 per cent stiffer than the standard car, and the springs 50% firmer with the dampers re-tuned to match. The car sits 4mm lower and the tyres are wider. The result is an already brilliant car, turned up to 11!
