First in production from 1981, the DMC-12 was the DeLorean motor company’s only major sports car for the US market. Well noted for its broad design and iconic ‘gull wing’ style doors, there is of course one thing that this now iconic model is known for which we’ll come to in due course.
However, the DMC-12 proved a tough sell in all senses of the word. With a 2849cc engine pumping 130 bhp, a top speed of 130 mph, and acceleration from 0 - 60 mph in 8.3 seconds, compared to other similar cars of the time it wasn’t exactly a speed demon.
It was this, plus many other contributing factors that led to DeLorean being shuttered altogether after it went into liquidation in 1982, with only 9,000 of the original DMC-12 models ever being produced.
Booking a DMC-12 Driving Experience
If you're purchasing an open gift coupon for a DeLorean package, double-check the validity term, as certain DeLorean vouchers and special offers may have a shorter or longer activation and usage duration, which will be clearly indicated on the voucher.
If you book a DeLorean Experience straight onto a date, please keep in mind that you are making a reservation request, and the day and time you choose are still subject to availability. We typically confirm reservations within 48 hours, but it's critical that you don't make any plans related to your reservation until you get a final confirmation email. When you make a booking request, you will get an instant receipt. This is not the confirmation.
Another essential factor to consider when buying DeLorean Experiences is that the driver fulfils all age, weight, height, and driving licence criteria. Each event will have its own set of criteria, so be sure you've read all of the essential details.
If an experience is exclusively for younger drivers, we will generally indicate it in the package name, although this is not always the case. If you book a DeLorean Experience and the driver does not fulfil the criteria on the day of the experience, they will most likely not be able to drive and will be offered a passenger ride instead.
At Trackdays, we're dedicated to making the booking experience as easy and straightforward as possible. From the time they make a reservation to the moment they get behind the wheel, we want our clients to have the greatest possible experience! The first step is to provide a range of booking alternatives.
If you're making a reservation for yourself, have a look at our live date booking system. Because we are the only voucher provider in the UK that offers live reservations, you can choose the precise day and time that suits you and have your experience guaranteed! This unique feature is ideal for people who know when they are free and want to plan something. Remember once you are in the DMC-12 if you decide you actually wanted to go on a different day - you can simply travel back in time and re-book.
Alternatively, if you're reserving for a loved one or a friend, one of our open date coupons would be ideal. These are a fantastic present since they allow a genuine car lover to arrange a DeLorean experience on a day that suits them. In any case, these vouchers are the ideal present for any ardent driver, so don't delay in booking your DeLorean driving experience with Trackdays.
Cut forward to 1985, and the DeLorean DMC-12 found a fanbase it never could have imagined garnering, when it was used as the famous time machine driven by Marty McFly and Doc in the popular Back to the Future trilogy of sci-fi films starring Michael J. Fox.
Among the DMC-12’s famous fans are Black Eyed Peas frontman will.I.am, and James Bourne of the British pop band Busted, whose hit song ‘Year 3000’ makes reference to the DeLorean time machine from the films.
If either you or a loved one is a fan of the DeLorean, at TrackDays we offer it to drive in our Movie Car experience packages, available to book at many great venues nationwide.
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.
