Overview
Why buy from us?
In America, everything - driving included - is supersized, and this is especially true of their trucks, as your young driver will discover when you book for them to attend our excellent Young American Truck Driving Taster day at one of 8 locations UK wide..
Their day will begin with a welcome and safety briefing from an expert instructor. Then it's time for them to climb into the cabin for one driving lap in a Ford F650 Pick Up truck.
Here, your junior trucker will be driving and manoeuvring the fully automatic, truck chassis-based truck around a short course 10 minutes behind the wheel. There's also the option to purchase additional laps on the day, which are fantastic as these give you an entirely different perspective of the track.
This really is the ideal experience for any young truck enthusiasts aged 15 and up, or anyone looking for something to drive that's more super-truck than supercar!

Our ethos is that your 'experience' should begin from the moment you first browse the site and we can deliver this because of:
- Unlike other experience companies we don't just sell you a voucher and leave you to call the supplier to book yourself. We manage your entire booking process from A - Z saving you time and money on phone calls.
- We have been a booking agent for track days and experience days since 2003 and have built trusted relationships with all of the venues and suppliers. The owner and manager of trackdays.co.uk have both been around since the first launch and their combined knowledge of the industry is passed down to all new members of staff.
- We have vetted each venue and supplier and at least one of our team will have experienced the event first hand meaning we can give you honest, non-biased advice about what you are ordering.
- You are able to do your entire booking online, but if you do need to call us, our average answer time on our standard rate number is 20 seconds. Even during peak times when the phones are busier, you have the option to chat with us live online or email your enquiry.
- Once you have booked a date, we will help to ensure that you get the tickets in time for your event and will liaise with the suppliers on your behalf should you have any enquires.
- All of our customers are invited to review our service and the service of the operator running the event. As a returning customer you will be eligible for a trackdays discount code to use on your next purchase.
