The Experience

This is a fantastic children’s driving experience for 11 to 16-year-olds as your child can learn to drive with the help of an experienced teacher and discover driving in an open circuit without any pressure.

Get behind the wheel of a Porsche Boxster with a knowledgeable instructor so you can drive stress-free in the wide-open spaces of a circuit.

Develop your driving abilities, boost your confidence and gain more knowledge about potential road hazards. Although safety comes first and instructions are given, having fun is the main emphasis.

After a quick practice you can perform a series of activities, checking your skills and abilities under the guidance of the instructor then, if you pass, you’ll be awarded your own Motorsport Academy Licence!

This 30 minute children’s driving experience including briefings and Motorsport Academy Licence / Skill Book completion.

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.
