Gift A Ferrari Rather Than A Meal Out This GCSE Results Day - News

  • Teenagers can celebrate GCSE results day in a Ferrari rather than at a restaurant this summer
  • Average cost for a family of four to enjoy a three-course meal has now hit £141 
  • Top of the class! Designed for young drivers, a Junior Ferrari 458 Italia driving experience is the perfect alternative victory lap for less than £100

We're encouraging parents to think outside the box - as well as save money - when considering how best to celebrate their child's GCSE results this Thursday, by gifting a Ferrari instead of a meal out.

Following research we've conducted here at TrackDays.co.uk, we can reveal that a family of four could end up forking out an average of £141 for a three-course celebratory meal, excluding drinks, if they dined out at either Miller and Carter, TGI Fridays, or Pizza Express.

However, parents looking to break the clichés, and instead allow their child to celebrate results day in style, could give a victory drive in the seat of a Ferrari 458 Italia for only £99.

Dan Jones, Operations Manager of TrackDays.co.uk, says, "It is normal for most parents to take their children out for a special treat to mark the momentous moment in their education, however it doesn't always have to be just going out for a meal."

"Getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 Italia, and being trusted to drive one at that age, will be guaranteed to last in their memories much longer. You never know, it may just spur them on to further future success as they strive to get their own one day."

To find out how you can book your child a junior driving experience, visit our dedicated Junior Driving Experiences and Activities for Kids pages on the TrackDays website today and explore what supercar or other fun driving experience would best suit their A* results.
