The old saying goes that it takes two to tango. But round these parts, we prefer to go with the adage that it takes two to hit the track! Because we've got an awesome assortment of driving experience days that are best enjoyed together.
And after all, shouldn't a once-in-a-lifetime spin behind the wheel of the car or vehicle of your dreams be shared with the ones you love? No matter whether it's a Birthday Gift or a special Anniversary or Christmas surprise, our Driving for Two packages include all sorts of exciting sets of wheels you and a family member, friend or better half will enjoy.
Come with us now as we double up on our best driving picks for two…
Our bestselling supercar experience for two is not only available at the widest range of venues across the UK - including Castle Combe Circuit in Wiltshire and Snetterton Circuit in Norfolk amongst others - but also some truly desirable models including the stripped back raw power of the Ariel Atom, the galloping horse that is the Ferrari California and the futuristic performance of the Nissan GTR.
Following your welcome and safety briefing with an expert instructor at your venue, you'll head out onto track, and get time driving in two of your chosen cars for up to 3 miles each. So no matter what your supercar preferences, you'll hopefully both find something you enjoy taking the wheel of. We'd recommend pre-paying to add the high speed passenger ride in a performance car onto this experience to really finish it with a flourish!
If it's something a little more heavy duty you would both prefer to drive, then how about this for size? A HGV lovers' dream, hosted at Abingdon Airfield in Oxfordshire, Carlisle Lake District Airport in Cumbria and Tockwith Motorsport Centre in North Yorkshire, a hand-picked assembly of Renault and Volvo articulated trucks, lorries and car transporters is waiting for you to climb in the cabin of.
Being high up in the cab of this 45ft machine is quite the spectacle in and of itself, but with an expert instructor guiding both of you through your individual 15 - 20 minute long sessions as you navigate a challenging course to attempt slaloms and reverse parking challenges, you'll see that trucking time with a loved one really is something special.
Want to forego the track entirely for something a little more off-grid? Then Blacklands Farm, an awesome 25 acre outdoor driving centre near East Grinstead in East Sussex, should tick all the boxes for you both. A full day's worth of off-road adventures are awaiting you and your companion, where you'll be part of a group of around four to six other participants.
Over the course of the day, you can expect to be taking on everything, from Quad Obstacle courses in a 125cc Yamaha Grizzly ATV, to the "Jungle Run" in densely packed woodland tracks and trails in a Land Rover or Daihatsu Fourtrack. With all this, plus a two course lunch in a nearby pub and a grand prize-giving for the ultimate victors at the end of the day, it promises to be a day together that'll really liven up the country scene!
One of the UK's longest motorsport circuits, at 2.4 miles per lap, Thruxton Circuit in Hampshire is just about the ideal place for motor racing fanatics to buddy up and go on our awesome Racing Car package for two. This epic experience gets under way following your arrival and sign on, with a safety briefing from a qualified racing instructor.
You'll each receive three demonstration laps with the instructor at the wheel first, to help you get accustomed to the track and what to watch out for in terms of when to brake and when to accelerate. Then comes the fun part, as you both get time behind the wheel of an Alpine A110s for 3 laps, and a Formula Renault single seater race car for 5 laps, all finished with a high speed passenger ride in a Skoda Octavia vRS!
Recently relocated to a brand new home, the Tanks, Trucks and Firepower Showground near Dunchurch in Rugby in Warwickshire, if you and your loved one are military vehicle buffs or enthusiasts, then this unique tank driving package will be right up your street. You'll each get a turn in the driver's seat of a fully armoured Scorpion tank on this experience.
And the stakes will be raised significantly with this one, because not only will you be attempting to navigate the specially prepared course, but as you're also in the gunner's position, you'll also be loading the 76mm gun, aiming at the target and firing over three attempts. It's a drive that requires expert timing, finessed precision and holding your nerve - can you do all of this and get out of enemy territory in time? Only one way to find out…
There's so many more Driving Experiences for Two to discover, with something to suit all budgets and tastes at venues across the UK. But why not also take a look at our all-new range of Christmas Experience Gifts for Couples? We've got plenty of other great experience days out for two including Indoor Skydiving, Afternoon Tea and even Steam Train Trips to discover that'll make perfect Christmas gift ideas.
