It feels like only a week ago that the summer solstice happened, but now, here we are, approaching the last couple of weeks of August, and a sense of a season almost ready to turn the corner into another one is in the air.
But, it's not quite over yet, you'll be glad to know. And with the last Bank Holiday weekend of the year just a week away, it's the perfect time to bring you five of our best deals on driving experiences which have good date availability across the UK over the long weekend, so you can create one last set of summer memories out on track that will last long after the nights start drawing in again…
Firstly, if you're reading this and happen to live or are based down near Cornwall whilst Britain basks in yet another heatwave - you lucky things, you! Secondly, Perranporth Airfield will be your go-to destination next Saturday for our bestselling Double Supercar driving package.
The premise is so simple it's beautiful: your choice of two cars from a fleet boasting models by Ferrari, Aston Martin, Nissan, Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi, 3 miles driving time in each under the encouragement of an expert instructor, and an exhilarating high speed passenger ride in a performance saloon car to finish things off. Deals don't come better than that, if you ask us!
The ideal package for those who want to burn some serious rubber over the Bank Holiday comes courtesy of this, our Learn to Drift Half Day drifting session in Staffordshire. Taking the wheel of a drift-spec performance car from either Nissan (an R33 Skyline or S14 / S14a 200SX) or Lexus IS200, you'll be out on the drift stage with an expert drifting instructor.
With their know-how and experience from competing in numerous national and international drift series, you'll get to master the basics including figure 8s, donuts and short circuits, before strapping yourself in for a 6 lap passenger ride with the instructor at the wheel, simulating a competition routine to show you what a pro drifter can really do!
Perhaps it's a stripped back but superfast motor you're wanting to get behind the wheel of next weekend? Our Lightweight Legends experience has got you covered. We added this one to our site almost a year ago, and for those who are in or around Wigan and Manchester that are admirers of British motoring pioneers like Colin Chapman, this is the package for you.
Amongst the vehicles that are on this experience at Three Sisters are the Caterham 7, the Lotus Evora 400 and the Ariel Atom, all famed for their tubular, aerodynamic carbon-fibre monocoques, focus on power and some seriously impressive performance to boot. After a pre-safety briefing with an instructor, you'll head out with them to your lightweight icon of choice to enjoy 3 miles of driving time on track!
If you've decided to extend the bank holiday and add an extra day off (as, indeed, the present writer has), our London Motor Circuit venue over in Hertfordshire is the place to be. The Formula F1000 is by far the fastest single seater racing car we have on our fleet books here at Trackdays, and we've recently added a third driving package with this incredible car at its epicentre.
It's also at our best value price point as well, for just under £70. In this academy driving session, following your 30 minute briefing session with the instructor, you'll head out to the track for 2 passenger laps to help you build your reaction and car control skills. Another 2 reaction laps and 4 sighting laps (including 1 high speed passenger lap) follows after this.
Then comes the bit your giddy, excited soul has been waiting for; four driving laps under yellow flag conditions in the F1000 to build your confidence, with the remaining two laps all yours to take - with 1:1 instruction from the on-site instruction team.
Those in Leicestershire who are also extending the long weekend and who closely follow the GT World Challenge Europe and the British GT Championships series will be in their element on one of our newest experiences we offer at Prestwold Hall. Because we've bought out only the very best GT spec performance cars for your delectation.
We're talking a Ferrari 458 Challenge, a Lamborghini Huracan GT and a McLaren 570S GT that are on offer fleet-wise here. Together, they have a combined value of £500k, and it's your choice as to which one you take the wheel of.
A full safety briefing with an instructor precedes your 3 miles of driving time in your chosen GT car, with them offering their tips and encouragement beside you. You'll also get to take home a commemorative certificate of your experience for a really awesome memento!
