If you want to give your favourite car fanatic the ultimate driving experience or track day then this guide to high octane motorsport gifts is essential reading. It aims to give you the lowdown on the wide range of adrenaline-fuelled driving experiences available, featuring everything from Ferraris to Formula 1 racers. Experience the mind-blowing power and acceleration of the world’s greatest sports cars and make dreams come true.

Supercar Driving. Speed freaks can enjoy a wide selection of turbo-charged experiences from many varied suppliers. The range of choices available include thrilling laps in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Maserati or Audi R8, racing in superb 1300cc saloon stock cars, scrambling over fields and splashing through puddles on a quad biking adventure (either with a friend, driving for half an hour each, or just for one with a full hour on the bike), enjoying furiously competitive fun with outdoor endurance karting – and many more! These thoughtful gifts offer the ideal experience for all budding car lovers and adrenaline junkies.

Track Days. Aston Martin represents pure power and finesse. Racing School venues around the country offer you a variety of performance cars; beautifully crafted modern classics with performance to stir the soul. It looks and sounds fantastic, with V8 power that demands long straights and high-speed corners. Or maybe you prefer to go to Leicestershire or Warwickshire and try the DB9; an uncompromising 6 litre, 186mph speed machine, with V12 power and handling to satisfy any driving enthusiast. These cars have it all – pace, incredible handling and stunning design.

Stock Car Racing. Exhilarating, fast paced, fun and let’s face it, completely crazy! Stock Car Racing offers you the one off chance to get a specialized and partially demolished car, put your foot down and enjoy the pure adrenaline as you crash, speed and get cheered on all the way! These are excellent gifts for those looking for something a little different and a lot of entertainment.

Quad Biking. Quad biking is some of the best, messiest fun you can have in the countryside. After a thorough safety briefing you’ll normally get kitted out in protective clothing and be introduced to your quad. To start off with you’ll be driving on level ground round a marked circuit while you get a feel for the quad. As you gain experience – and bottle – you’ll be able to shift up a gear and soon you’ll be power sliding round the turns like you were born on the bike.

Off Road Driving. There is something about off road driving which appeals to pretty much everyone’s sense of adventure. Whether you attempt a challenging off road course in a 4 x 4, take one of the 150cc Quad bikes out for a spin round the track or try something a little bit more obscure like the Apache Rally cars fitted with 750cc motor cycle engines and a six speed gear box!

Monster Trucks. This is a great day during which you can get to experience multiple extreme off road driving adventures. One of the main attractions could be the awesome Hi-Lux British Spec Monster Truck; you can take this beast of a vehicle out on to a purpose built course and get to put it through its paces. Next up you might try a ‘jacked up’ jeep along a high view green-lane track before taking a Daihatsu 4×4 through a muddy course which is strewn with woodland debris. Monster, Monster!

Single Seater Racing. Driving an F1-style single-seater racing car is unlike anything else. You’re strapped into the open cockpit with your legs stretched out into the nose of the car, the steering wheel in front of you and the gearstick between your legs. You’re only a couple of inches off the ground and you’ll know it; you can feel every bump and vibration and you’ll have to fight not to over steer, as your super-responsive car reacts to every tiny adjustment you make. This is driving at its limits, as done by the pros; just you and the car.
