KEY POINTS
Unbelievably - given what an unprecedentedly long and warm one it has been for much of the UK - the summer is nearing its end, with the last bank holiday weekend of the season at the end of this month.
And if you're looking to make the most of the final long weekend of the sunnier months, then at Trackdays, we've got you covered. We've hand-picked four of our very best track day experiences with good availability across the August bank holiday that you can book on for with us today…
Why Should I Book This Experience: If you're based in Yorkshire, love your GT performance cars and happen to have the Friday prior to the bank holiday off (you lucky thing, you), then you'll want to book on for this incredible half day of driving four of the finest GT spec racing cars around at Elvington.
We're talking the big boys here; the McLaren 570s GT, the Lamborghini Huracan GT, the Ferrari 458 Challenge and Audi R8 LMS GT3, all kitted out in full GT livery, modifications and specs, which you will get to drive for 3 miles each following a briefing and demonstration laps with the instructor to get you accustomed to the course layout.
All of this, plus an exhilarating high speed passenger ride in a superfast Ariel Atom and a commemorative driving certificate presented to you before you leave means this is the experience to see out the summer in style with.
Why Should I Book This Experience: If you're down south and in Surrey - or one of the surrounding home counties - then our next choice will be absolutely ideal. Not least of all because the fleet selection covers the length and breadth of what vehicles you can drive, so it's pure bucket list time on this experience.
Supercars, rally cars, off road buggies, even HGV transporters can all be driven on the same package here for 3 miles each following your sign on and full safety briefing from a qualified instructor at the venue.
Round things off with a high speed passenger ride in a performance saloon car and take home a commemorative driving certificate, and you've got one last great memory of this summer to take with you and look back on fondly.
Why Should I Book This Experience: It's not just the turbocharged supercars or the high-spec racing cars we offer here on Trackdays. It's the slightly more heavy duty we offer to drive as well, as our next selection testifies.
With HGV trucks ranging from articulated lorries, trucks and car transporters, you'll be climbing into the cab of one of these mighty machines following a safety briefing, and taking on a driving session of around 15-20 minutes at one of our most popular venues in Oxfordshire.
Here, it'll be focussing on navigating a specially laid out course that includes attempting slaloms and reverse parking challenges. It's an unusual way to spend a bank holiday, granted, but for us, it's one of the best you can do if you're after something different.
Why Should I Book This Experience: We have undoubtedly saved the best choice until last, as this Bank Holiday Monday experience will give you access to our platinum level fleet of supercars at the famed "Nürburgring of the North".
Whether it's the Audi R8 V10 Plus, the BMW i8, the Aston Martin DB11 or even the Porsche 911 Turbo, an expert instructor will take you through a full safety briefing before you head out to track with them in the passenger seat as you enjoy three exciting miles driving your chosen set of platinum wheels.
Plus, you'll get to take home a lasting memory of the experience in the form of a commemorative driving certificate to display with pride!
