The Experience

The car scenes in the Italian Job are hard to beat in terms of being iconic. In this driving experience you’ll get to drive three historic vehicles; the famous blue bus, a classic Jaguar E-Type and a beautiful blue Mini cooper

You’ll also hop into the passenger seat of the Mini after taking them for a spin where the instructor will take the wheel and re-enact the famous stunt as they drive you into the back of the moving bus!

Buckle your seatbelts as this is going to be an experience you won’t forget!

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover.

Some operators require customers to complete an indemnity/damage waiver form prior to taking the experience. This may state the driver is liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most operators are able to provide additional insurance to cover this at a small additional fee, payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the public liability insurance held by all venues. The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver and additional insurance will be provided by the activity operator. WonderDays is unable to advise or comment on the content or suitability of any such waiver or additional insurance.

How long do I drive for?

For each supercar experience that you purchase, you will be allocated three miles per car. For example, if you purchase the triple supercar experience you will be allocated 9 miles in total. How long you are physically on the track really depends on how fast you want to drive!

What do I need to wear?

Please be aware that all driving experiences are completely outdoors and open to the elements. It's always worth packing a coat or umbrella even if the forecast looks sunny as airfields and circuits tend to be very windy!

Drivers should wear sensible shoes or trainers for driving and comfy trousers. Legs must be fully covered if you're driving certain cars, such as the Shelby Cobra or Mustang GT350 (as these cars have side exit exhausts that get very warm), the Caterham 7 and Ariel Atom.

Do all cars run in the rain?

Yes, events are run in all weathers unless it is deemed so extreme that it is unsafe to be on the track.

Do I have to drive quickly?

Not at all, the trainers will help you enjoy the drive however you would like to.

Are the cars dual control?

As we use real cars which are driven with pedals, some cars will use dual pedal control, and some will have a handle that can be pulled for an emergency stop if danger arises.

What happens on the day?

We advise customers to book all vehicles onto the same time slot however if you have more than three cars to drive, please DO NOT book the last session of the day. The time that you are choosing is your arrival time and will not be the time you start driving. Please be aware that you will need to allow up to 3 hours at the venue from your session start time to complete your experience.
