Aston Martin DB5 Driving Experiences

Few cars are as revered and sought after worldwide as Aston Martin’s DB5 model. First released in 1963, it is probably the car which the world’s most trusted secret agent - James Bond - is synonymous with, particularly in its starring role when driven by Sean Connery in the film Goldfinger in 1964.

The DB5 was the natural successor from the DB4 series, but boasting a much larger 4.0 litre engine with 282 bhp compared to the DB4’s 3.7 litre engine. Smooth, classy and finely engineered, it hums from 0 - 60mph in 8 seconds, and what it may lack in modern day gadgetry it makes up for in superb handling, superior comfort and astounding performance.

Let’s be honest, it’s only the best for her Majesty’s most trusted and powerful weapon in MI6. You can get to book your time behind the wheel of a DB5 in a variety of Blast and Thrill packages at some excellent venues and locations across the UK through TrackDays.

Making a reservation for a driving experience with Aston Martin.

If you're purchasing an open gift certificate for an Aston Martin package, double-check the validity term, as certain vouchers and special offers may have a shorter or longer activation and usage duration, which will be mentioned clearly on the voucher.

Please keep in mind that booking an Aston Martin Experience on a certain date constitutes a reservation request, and the day and time you choose are still subject to availability. Bookings are generally confirmed within 48 hours, however you should wait until you get a final confirmation email before making any plans. You will get instant confirmation after submitting a booking request. This is not the final confirmation.

Make sure the driver fulfils all of the age, weight, height, and driving licence criteria before buying Aston Martin Experiences. Each event will have its own set of requirements, so make sure you've reviewed them all.

Although this is not always the case, we will generally indicate if an experience is just for younger drivers in the package name. If the driver does not fulfil the criteria on the day of the event, they will not be allowed to drive and will instead be offered a passenger trip.

It’s not just in Bond films that the Aston Martin DB5 has enjoyed some silver screen action. Amongst the other blockbusters it has appeared in, it was driven by Bernie Mac’s character Jimmy Bosley in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle in 2003, and it was also driven by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can.

Interestingly, the DB5 was also driven by the late Sir Roger Moore before he was even Bond, when he starred in the cult TV series The Saint in 1964, in an episode titled ‘The Noble Sportsman’. This particular model bore the same number plate used for the DB5 when it appeared in the 1964 installment of Bond, Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery.

All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.

When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.

Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.

Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
