The Experience

This is the ultimate junior driving experience as they can take the wheel alongside a qualified instructor to help your junior driver discover driving in an open circuit without any stress.

It’s an exciting and enjoyable way to learn to drive, keeping them ahead of the game and helping them develop driving skills much earlier than they would on congested public roads. They will be operating a dual-controlled Mazda MX-5 (manual) or a Toyota Aygo, as they gain confidence and practise fundamental car management as this allows the instructor to step in if necessary, providing some peace of mind for parents in the pit lane!

Drivers can improve their knowledge of potential hazards on the road and how to deal with them in a real-world situation away from the roadways. Safety comes first, although the focus is on fun too!

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.
