Drive an Aston Martin V8 Vantage & DBS

The Experience
Few manufacturers represent British performance motoring quite like Aston Martin, and this experience gives you the opportunity to drive two of their most recognisable modern supercars on the same day.

Your experience begins with a briefing from a professional instructor before heading to the track.

You’ll first take the wheel of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a car known for its precise handling, balanced chassis and unmistakable Aston Martin style. With your instructor on hand for guidance, you’ll enjoy 6 miles behind the wheel as you learn the circuit and explore the car’s performance.

After returning to the pits, it’s time to step into the Aston Martin DBS, a more powerful grand tourer equipped with a formidable V12 engine. With another 6 miles on the track, you’ll quickly notice the difference in power delivery and driving feel compared with the V8 Vantage.

Once both drives are complete, you’ll move to the passenger seat of a specially prepared performance saloon for a high-speed lap driven by a professional race instructor.

Driving two Aston Martins back-to-back on a race circuit offers a rare chance to experience the personality of each car from the driver’s seat.
