Embrace your inner speed demon

F

eel like you’ve got what it takes to wear the Stig’s white jumpsuit? Or think you may be the next Lewis Hamilton?

Well, now’s your chance to put the pedal to the metal and prove your skills on the classic race circuit at Castle Combe.

Opening way back in 1950, the iconic circuit has seen victories by such racing greats as Stirling Moss, Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna. With a variety of driving ‘experiences’ on offer, you can now follow in the tire tracks of the greats, and experience some seriously hot wheels.

The main problem you’re going to have is choosing between the Lotus Elise with its excellent handling, or answering that need for speed with the single-seater Formula Ford. Don’t worry - you’ll get the chance to put in a few practice laps before being let loose for real.

With crash helmet on and strapped in, you’re ready to head trackside and hit those demanding corners like our Lewis.

Watch that speedometer twitch into unchartered territory, listen to the engine roar in response to your every move and smell that burning rubber.
