Gifts for Petrolheads

No matter what age they are, there's something about time behind the wheel of - or in close vicinity to - a car that gets anyone's motors running. And at Trackdays, we've always known what thrills there are to be had on one of our fantastic driving experiences.

And we've also always known how brilliant they are as an original gift idea for almost any special occasion for those of us with a petrolhead in our family or close circle of friends. The ones we've assembled here really are the cream of the crop when it comes to helping tick a spin in a dream vehicle off the bucket list.

As you'll discover, it's not just adults we cater for, but juniors too, and however far your budget stretches, you won't have to break the bank in order to get them a little closer to the cars and motors they really love.

One of our most popular Birthday Gift Ideas has always been our Supercar Driving Experiences. Assembling the most desirable fleet around, with top of the range marques such as Aston Martin, Audi, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and McLaren all represented, and at the widest choice of venues right across the UK.

This not only includes renowned motorsports circuits such as Castle Combe and Three Sisters, it also includes other venues such as airfields and showgrounds that have the ability to offer wide open tracks perfect for these kings of the road to run on and really show off the power and performance they can offer.

Available to book in both Blast (3 mile) and Thrill (6 mile) options, on some packages there's not only the chance to drive up to as many as six supercars all on the same experience, but there's also some cool extras that will really make it that much more special, whether it's a professional photo package or a high speed passenger ride in a performance saloon car.

Whilst giving them a new car for Christmas is something out of our reach, we can give the next best thing as a Christmas Gift Idea, which is the keys - and thus the chance to get behind the wheel - on a driving experience that is truly out of the ordinary. And our Drifting Driving Experiences certainly tick that box!

On these exhilarating experiences under the guidance of an expert drifting instructor, you'll learn to master the basic skills and go full smoking tyres as you attempt figure 8s, short circuits and donuts (and not the kind you dunk into your coffee!), and discover that driving sideways is most definitely different.

Or of course, for something totally out the box, there's our Monster Truck Experiences as well. Climb aboard into Grizzly and get ready to go hell for leather around a specially prepared course which will also see you crushing up some old cars - a real energy release if there ever was one!

For the large majority of our Gift Ideas for Petrolheads, there's one of two ways you can book them with us - for some, you can browse and book regularly updated Events Calendars to buy a dated voucher for a specific event.

But in most cases, you can purchase one of our open Gift Vouchers that are valid to redeem and use within 10 months (or 14 months for an additional upgrade fee) at a time when they'll get the most enjoyment out of it.

And it doesn't matter what occasion or who it's for, we've also got gift wrapping options for an additional fee available at checkout, as well as a wide variety of payment options to give you total flexibility!
