How to Make a Reservation for a Ford Driving Experience

Our open gift cards are a great present idea and the most flexible way to book your next Ford driving day package on the day and time of your choice.

All purchases come with email coupons, but at check-out, we may offer you extra gift wrapping choices via Royal Mail or DPD, which may add to the surprise for the sports fan in your life and are ideal for commemorating any special occasion.

Our experiences are as up to date as possible. We maintain frequent contact with suppliers and venues so that you may book directly on any of the days mentioned in the Events Calendar.

If you buy an open Ford package gift voucher, double-check the validity period since certain Ford vouchers and special offers may have a shorter or longer validity period. This will be mentioned clearly on the reservation.

Please keep in mind that booking a Ford Experience on a certain day constitutes a reservation request that is subject to availability. We typically confirm your reservation within 48 hours, but you should wait until you get final confirmation before making any arrangements.

Another important factor to consider when purchasing a Ford Experience is that the driver meets all age, weight, height, and licence criteria. Each event has its own set of criteria, so be sure you've gone over all of the details. If you are unsure about anything please contact our customer service team who will be happy to assist you.

Although this is not always the case, if an experience is for young drivers, we will generally mention it in the package name. If the driver does not meet the criteria on the day of the Ford Experience, they will most likely be unable to drive.

The Ford Escort MK2 was much loved by British motorists all throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The commercial road model was also notably the nation’s biggest selling car of 1976. In fact it was so well loved, that there was a public outcry when the third generation of models, introduced in the 1980s, were almost going to be called the Ford Erika rather than the Escort - hence they stuck with the name everyone loved.

It was, up until a few years ago, still pretty easy to obtain an Escort MK2 on the second hand market. But a combination of the fast growing popularity of rally driving in motorsport, plus age and parts supply have seen to it that to find a Ford Escort MK2 in good condition could set you back anything from £10,000 upwards. But with TrackDays, you can book a rally driving experience in one without the hefty price tag.
