Race Car Drives

Description

Experience driving a first generation Ford Escort with this classic car track day. You’ll feel like a movie star on this unique experience day, combining an appreciation for vintage design with high-speed thrills.

This classic car was the first European Ford, with production running from 1967 to 1975. A UK bestseller in the 1960s, it quickly solidified its status as a truly classic car. Known for its “coke bottle” waistline and “dogbone” front grille, it’s an iconic example of practical and timeless design. This model was also a firm favourite for rallying and later gained additional fame after it was featured in the film ‘Fast And Furious 6’, driven by Paul Walker. So, if you have a need for speed and fancy taking a spin around the race track in this classic car, now is your opportunity!

As you arrive at the race track, you’ll be taken through a safety briefing and provided with a hot drink of your choosing to fortify you for the drive ahead. After that, you’ll hop into the car for 6 laps around the track, with an expert instructor by your side to help you navigate the track whilst offering expert advice on how to get the most out of the car.

On the day of your driving experience, you’ll have to sign a disclaimer accepting liability in case of any damage to the car. You’ll have the option to buy a damage waiver cover when making your booking that will minimise any financial exposure in case of an accident. Purchasing this waiver is entirely optional. Please note, if you choose to book at the Dunsfold or Castle Combe tracks, a supplement fee will added to your booking.

This vintage car driving experience with a Ford Escort Mk1 is a must for all petrol heads and would make a great gift for any classic car enthusiast.

Description

The Ford Cortina is a in the early 60's, was a recognised as an inconspicuous, uninspiring and bland family saloon car. Ford instantly recognised that there was something else they could do with this car and so they paired up with Lotus Founder Colin Champman to work his magic and in 1963 the Ford Cortina Lotus was born. Two versions of this car were released, a road going version and a race spec version. The road going car revving to 8,000 RPM singing all the way to 108mph was like a rocket ship in the day and the race trim version eaking out to 145mph. The car was handed to Jim Clark, the recently crowned Formula 1 champion, who moonlighted as a Touring Car driver when time would permit. The car was as versatile as Clark, competing in rallying as well as Touring Car races. Jim Clark would make the car famous and Bruce Reynolds (The Great Train robbery) would make the car infamous, using the car to get away once the heist was complete!

On arrival you will receive a welcome, introduction and short briefing. You will then take to the wheel of the Lotus Cortina for 6 laps of driving depending on location. The programme varies depending upon location; please check upon booking.

Please note, there is a £25 supplement charge payable for bookings at the Castle Combe venue and £35 for bookings at Dunsfold.
