Your First Drive Gift experience consists of the following:
Please note that you should allow around 3 hours at the circuit for duration of your First Drive Gift.
Each instructor is a qualified ADI in a dual controlled car.
Drivers must be aged 11yrs and upwards.
The First Drive experience is based on sharing a car with 2 other pupils who you will be introduced to on the day, each driving for 45 mins. We find that this format works best as pupils can learn from each other. Everything is therefore explained once and practiced by all 3 pupils allowing more driving time.
PLEASE NOTE : The First Drive experience does not always take place in a mini, we also use MG ZR, Fiesta Zetec, and corsa etc. The car used is the designated First Drive vehicle on that day and is chosen at random.
This experience takes place at Elvington, Northamptonshire, Oxford and Teesside Autodrome from 2009.
PLEASE NOTE: Once this booking is made for Northamptonshire, no refunds or cancellations will be accepted. On purchase of this experience you are bound by the terms and conditions stated by Northamptonshire circuit. Please ensure you check your confirmation carefully.
