VOUCHER OPTIONS:
THE EXPERIENCE
YoungDrive! is open to anyone aged 11 and over, allowing your youngster to gain their first experience behind the wheel much earlier than they would on the open road. They will be taught the basics of driving by one of our elite team of highly trained instructors within the confines of the race circuit, creating a safe and stress-free environment, perfect for their first taste of driving.
They will be in control of a dual controlled MINI ONE
as they practice essential car control and build up their
confidence, which will prove vital for when they hit the road for
real. Safety is paramount but the emphasis is on having fun!
The cars are fitted with dual controls and pupils will be
accompanied by an instructor and will share the car with up to two
others.
Please note: The YoungDrive! voucher includes
cancellation cover free of charge. Spectators are permitted for no

Reviews
- Ellie Parkinson says:Posted on: Aug 4, 2016Overall I found it to be a great experience and really good preparation for learning to drive. My instructor was really friendly and helpful, and a lot was squeezed into the forty minutes
- Charlotte Burford says:Posted on: Apr 12, 2016We purchased this for my son's 11th birthday and just wanted to say what a fantastic experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We were greeted on arrival by a lovely lady who explained everything to our son and listened to and answered his questions.
He then had his briefing and got into a mini with the instructor and two other children. For the two hours they were out on the track he said it was amazing and he wants to do it again.
Would highly recommend. - Emma Hall says:Posted on: Aug 19, 2015Attended today with both my sons who were pretty apprehensive. Staff soon put them at ease. The experience was better than we all expected. The staff were brilliant and very informative with the parents about the activity. Both my children now want to go on young driver plus- thank you all for a great time!!!
- Jo Roy says:Posted on: May 3, 2015My son attended the Young Drive experience today and had a fantastic time. The whole process was straight forward and all the staff were very helpful. He loved it and now wants to complete the next experience. Great photo's produced giving us something to always look back on. Thank you
- Katie Bow says:Posted on: Apr 28, 2015I had a relly good time driving the car at Bandshatch. I thought it would be much harder but it wasn't bad atall. The instructor was relly friendly even when I went wrong and made me relax so I could do it again.
- J Aberman says:Posted on: Jan 28, 2015My daughter enjoyed the drive, although she did have to share the car with other children. She seemed to get the hang of a few things, but I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to get any photos of her in the car as I only brought my camera phone and it couldn’t see her clearly enough. If my younger son does it I will bring a proper camera.
- Mrs Bishop says:Posted on: Jan 28, 2015My son will start learning to drive in a few months so this was a perfect way for him to start. He really enjoyed it and it looked as though he picked up quite a bit. I had a nice relaxing time watching him go round so I was happy too!
