Trackdays is one of the only companies that offers you a chance to drive a podium finishing BTCC car in the Mercedes A Class. Used by Ciceley Motorsports in the British Touring Car Championship in 2021 and driven by Adam Morgan, Tom Oliphant and Jack Butel, the Mercedes A Class is a full bloodied race car with a Swindon engine that gives you 380bhp. All of this power is available to you once you get strapped in into the drivers seat. Your experience will start off with a safety briefing followed by 2 sighting laps of the track in a sports saloon driven by the instructor. You’ll then take to the track in a Clio Cup/ Honda Civic/ or Seat Leon Endurance race car for 15 minutes of track driving. This will help you get to grips with a powerful track car before you get to jump behind the wheel of the BTCC Mercedes. After the 15 minutes are up its time to get into the Mercedes. With a qualified instructor sat beside you offering you guidance and tips on how to get the most out of your experience you’ll drive for 15 minutes taking on long straights and twist and turns of a circuit like Donington Park, Brands Hatch, Bedford Autodrome or other tracks that are available for this experience.
