Got one of these for my 18th and had forgotten about it until now. It expires at the beginning of June so need to hurry up and book it.

However - I can't decide between two of the four options. All four options are -

* Ferrari Experience
* Racing Car Driving
* Rally Driving
* Off Road Drive


I think I've narrowed it down to the Ferrari experience and racing car driving. With the Ferrari experience I get -


How will you compare the Porsche 996, Subaru and Lotus Elise to the legendary Ferrari?
The adventure takes place at a former airfield - the perfect place to drive these Supercars. After a welcome on arrival, you will be split into groups which rotate around the following thrilling activities:
-Drive the Porsche 996 - release the power of this stunning looking Porsche with the GT3 body kit and a 3.6 litre engine.
- Experience the Subaru Impreza WRX. How about finding out what it is like to drive in a Subaru Impreza WRX rally car?
- Excel in the Lotus Elise, where size isn't everything! The Elise may be small, but with its lightweight construction it is big on performance.- Finally the Ferrari 355. Hold on tight as this mid-mounted 3.5 litre V8 engine will power the brave from 0-60mph in just 4.6 seconds, the prancing horse on the bonnet says it all, as you drive on the world's most famous Supercars.

From the moment you climb into a single-seater racing car, you are in for some unbelievable excitement. The starter waves his flag, you pump the accelerator, the engine roars and you're off. In a matter of seconds you're taking the corners and barrelling along!
The programme typically involves a welcome on arrival, followed by a briefing. Then it's time to take to the wheel for laps in a performance saloon, where your instructor will demonstrate circuit driving techniques, such as taking the correct line on a corner. Next you take the wheel yourself to practice what you have been taught. Then the real actions begins: you take a single seater racing car such as a Formula First, Formula Renault or Formula Ford around the racing circuit. With potential acceleration of 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, these cars are perfectly placed to introduce you to the thrills of racing.

From the descriptions - they both sound great so I'm undecided which to do. It's important to note that the Ferrari experience lasts 2 hours with roughly 20 minutes driving time, whereas the Racing Car driving is 1-4 hours in total depending on the circuit and weather.

Cheers for input :)

I've done a Ferrari experience, and would highly recommend it. Sure the race car is good, but I don't think they are any faster than a Ferrari, and at least you get to say you've driven a Ferrari. :D

Racing sounds good out of the two you've chosen. I'm doing Rally driving on Saturday so will let you know what that's like you if you want to reconsider it :)
