Le Mans Classic Car Experience

Le Mans Classic Car Experience

This is a chance to go back to the days of goggles and scarves, as you power up some of the finest and most quint-essential English cars on a superb track day. Here you will be treated to laps in some of the most famous early cars, and some real record breakers. You’ll get to drive timeless classics such as the Aston Martin DB6 Vantage, the Speed Record breaker; the Jaguar E-Type FHC, the Le Mans D-Type Jaguar and the fantastic Austin Healey. Classic cars have a completely different style and aura involved with them, taking you closer to the heart of motor racing from a different perspective than that provided by the on-board computers supplied in today’s supercars.

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a thorough safety briefing covering all aspects of the track and these magnificent classic cars. Once briefed you’ll be ready to begin the day’s driving, starting with a 3 lap demo in a MKII Jaguar Saloon. Now you’ll be ready to begin the dirving yourself as you start with 3 laps in the Aston Martin DB6 Vantage. After 3 fantastic laps in one of Britain’s finest classic cars, it’s time for 3 more in another of Britain’s all time greats, the record breaking Jaguar E-Type FHC. After 3 laps in the record breaking Jaguar, it’s time for 3 laps in the spectacular Le Mans D-Type Jaguar. This fantastic day of classic car driving will come to a halt with 3 laps in the Austin Healey. To complete the day, you will have a de-brief assessment with your instructor and finish with the presentation of your personalised driving certificate. A quite brilliant day of English classic car driving.
