Driving Experience – The Perfect Gift

Driving Experience – The Perfect Gift

Author: Derek Rogers

Whilst most of us cannot afford to purchase a sports car, taking part in a driving experience or buying a driving gift voucher for a loved one can be a cost effective way of satisfying your craving for speed without breaking the bank.

There are a variety of driving gifts available, some of which involve the chance to experience one particular supercar, whilst others include the opportunity to drive more than one powerful vehicle in a day.

Typically, driving days will take place on a motor racing circuit and will start with a driver briefing, where a qualified racing instructor explains safety procedures and basic circuit driving techniques.

Many of the sports car or supercar driving experiences will feature additional one-to-one tuition in the car itself, where a trained instructor or professional racing driver will explain exactly how to extract the optimum performance from the vehicle on the circuit you are driving.

As well as driving powerful sports cars, there are several driving experience operators around the country that offer the true Grand Prix experience with a session behind the wheel of an F1-style single seater racing car. This gives adrenaline junkies the chance to both complete some solo flying laps and feel the wind rushing past them at high speed: it's probably the closest most people will get to the real Formula One experience without having a surname like Button or Hamilton!

In addition to circuit driving days, a number of companies now offer the opportunity to test different driving skills with activities such as rallying master classes and off-road 4x4 courses. Certain operators even offer introductory driving experiences for teenagers, teaching them hazard perception and basic car control skills in a safe, traffic-free environment.

Whilst a driving experience will probably do nothing but fuel car enthusiast's desires to purchase a high performance vehicle, it does offer a taste of a life that most people can only dream of. And with most companies offering vouchers valid for up to a year - that can be redeemed on a date which suits the recipient - they make a perfect present for any petrol head.
