If you’re the kind of person that likes to feel the wind in your hair whilst being driven at high speeds by a professional driver in an Aston Martin – then this deal is for you. You get to drive four of the most superior cars which include the Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Normally you would have to pay £289.00 to enjoy this once in a life time experience, but with our special offer you can get this deal for as little as £209.00 – a bargain!

If you want a Lamborghini driving experience or a driving experience that lets you drive all three of these amazing cars, then U Drive Cars can help. With our fabulous deals, great driving experiences and superior cars, we can make your day one to remember. For more details regarding a particular driving experience that you have spotted on our website, be sure to contact us today on 01869 277 112.

Within the motor industry there are a few cars which stand head and shoulders above the rest; this may be due to their sporting heritage, their elegance or their prowess. One car which falls into this category is that of the Italian prancing horse. Thanks to U Drive Cars you can make any car enthusiast’s dream a reality, by giving them the opportunity to feel the bite of this supercar as they pull away and apply the grip of the tyres as they take a corner, with our Ferrari driving experience packages and gift vouchers.

From as little as £89 it’s possible for you to provide the petrol-head in your life with the chance to hear the purr of a Ferrari engine as they sit behind the wheel and gently tap the accelerator. They’ll be able to enjoy heading out onto the Oxfordshire circuit for an experience that they’ll never forget, which is guaranteed to make the driving of an everyday hatchback seem slow and mundane.

Included with this package is a welcome registration, tea/coffee to quench the thirst and anticipation of getting onto the track, and a safety briefing which covers the key issues when at speed during the four laps – which equates to around six miles as a driver of one of the most iconic cars of the 21st century.

Want to spend a little more and give that special person something extra special? Why not purchase the Ferrari verses Audi R8 package we provide for as little as £169 which offers the opportunity to take two of the world’s most renowned sports cars around our track.

If you’re unsure which package they’d prefer, don’t worry as you can purchase a monetary gift card from us, which range in price from £50-£250 and gives the recipient the opportunity to take part in a driving experience which is guaranteed to pump up their adrenaline.

All of our driving experience vouchers and gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from the time of purchase. For more information surrounding our gift vouchers and Ferrari driving experience don’t hesitate to contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable team on 01869 277112.

In an ideal world, if you could drive any car it’s likely that a few names will pop into your head – it may be American muscle cars such as a GT500 Mustang Shelby or 1970 Dodge Charger RT, British supercars such as a Noble M600 or Lotus Elise, or the powerhouses of sports cars, the Italian diamonds such as a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder or a Ferrari 458 Italia. For those of you whose dream car is the latter, instead of dreaming about getting behind the wheel of the prancing horse, why not turn it into a reality by taking part in a Ferrari driving experience provided by us here at U Drive Cars.

As experienced driving specialists, here at U Drive Cars we appreciate and understand the power available from the Italian supercar that is a Ferrari. We can use our expertise within the car industry to ensure that you get the most out of your Ferrari driving experience at our Oxfordshire track – giving you a day which will last long in the memory.

Our team here at U Drive Cars offer a range of driving packages, and our prices start from as little as £75, which include a circuit demonstration to familiarise yourself with our circuit, before you get behind the wheel of one of our Ferrari’s and complete 4 laps (six miles). At the end of the day you’ll receive a commemorative certificate to remember the day – and if your friends and family want to share the experience with you, they can come and watch for no extra charge.

Fancy something more? Then for the small price of £99, you can enjoy the Ferrari 360 Experience package we have available. As with all our packages, this will start with tea/coffee, a safety briefing and track familiarisation before you get behind the wheel of the Ferrari 360 and complete 6 miles of breathtaking driving, feeling the unbelievable power of a V8 engine. Once you’ve completed the 6 miles, you’ll then have the opportunity to hop into a Lotus Elise and experience a high speed passenger ride.

Whether you’re looking for a treat for yourself, a gift for a petrol head, or the perfect start to a stag weekend, through our driving experiences, you’ll be guaranteed to receive an adrenaline fuelled, heart racing day.

With the Lamborghini Aventade LP700-4 selling out faster than anticipated, it’s likely it’ll be a good few years until you can begin to think about realistically getting behind the wheel of this super sleek, 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds car – and that’s without considering the price tag it’s currently retailing at. However, if you’re a fan of either the Lamborghini or Ferrari, then why not treat yourself to the ultimate driving experience available via us here at U Drive Cars.

As car enthusiasts we understand that it can be difficult when deciding which car you’d like to take around the track, without any restrictions. After all both the Ferrari and Lamborghini offer a stunning proposition, but which is the best for that hair raising, heart racing and unforgettable moment?

Lamborghini:

At our Heyford Park track you can put your driving skills to the test as you slip behind the wheel of one of our stunning and well maintained Lamborghini Gallardos, for the ultimate Lamborghini driving experience.

Two of the packages we offer are the Lamborghini Thrill and the Lamborghini Gallardo Experience.

•    The Thrill package, priced at under £100, gives you 4 laps (6 miles) around our specially adapted track.

•    Our Experience package offers you a similar thrill – for the same price, with the added extra of experiencing a high speed passenger ride in a Lotus Elise.

Ferrari:

If you’d prefer to get behind the wheel of the prancing horse, we can also provide you with the ultimate Ferrari driving experience.

For £89 you can experience our Ferrari Thrill which gives you 4 laps (6 miles) around our specially adapted track. If you want to spend an extra £10, you can experience the same 4 laps with the added benefit of a high speed passenger ride in a Lotus Elise on top.

If you’re still undecided on the best driving experience for you, why not pit your wits against both cars in one of the multiple supercar packages we offer here at U Drive Cars. If you’d like more information surrounding any of our packages or to purchase an experience, please contact us via the number above.

It’s easy to sit in front of the TV with a controller in your hand as you whizz around the Monaco, Silverstone and Spa tracks – after all if you get a slow qualifying time, a black flag or a nip on your rear suspension as you take the corner too tight, all you need to do is press the re-start button and try again. In real life it’s not as easy, but it’s certainly more of an adrenaline rush as you’ll find out if you take part in one of U Drive Cars driving experiences at Heyford Park.

Since the early millennium at U Drive Cars we’ve been providing thrill seekers nationwide with a heart-racing, adrenaline fuelled day of driving experiences in a range of the world’s most loved and sought after supercars. From the prancing horse of Ferrari through to its Italian rival – Lamborghini – and not forgetting one of the jewels in the British crown of motorsport, the Lotus Elise.

Whether you decide to take part in a Ferrari driving experience, a Lotus driving experience or a Lamborghini driving experience we at U Drive Cars guarantee that you’ll have a day to remember – without seeing too many blue flags waving you across because there’s a faster car approaching, nor will you be stuck behind backmarkers because we limit the number taking part on each event.

We want our guests to have an enjoyable time in a safe environment – this is why we have a drivers briefing in a classroom environment, followed by a sightseeing lap, before letting you behind the wheel.

So if you’re stuck for ideas for a perfect gift for a loved one who is a bit of a speed freak and feels they could take on the likes of Hamilton, Webber and Alonso why not buy them one of our driving experiences in the supercar of their choice and let them see how good they really are.

From as far back as ancient times people from around the world have found something strangely fascinating about watching epic battles between two evenly matched competitors. From gladiators to mythical Gods battling it out for supremacy, humanity has clamoured to be part of the quintessential clash of the titans. Here at U Drive Cars we’re proud to be able to offer lucky participants the chance to pit two modern day titans against one another: the stunning Ferrari 360 v Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution. In this and similar driving experiences, it’s up to you to decide which car comes out on top.

But of course, there couldn’t be a more difficult choice to make. Both cars in the Ferrari v Evo experience represent the pinnacle of modern engineering – but what specifically does each car have to offer?

The instantly recognisable Ferrari has admirers worldwide, from all walks of life. Nestled inside deceptively elegant Italian styling drivers will find a 3.6 litre engine which develops up to 400bhp. Fancy travelling from 0 – 62mph in 4.4 seconds? If so, the Ferrari is the car for you.

Here at U Drive Cars we have many years experience in the motor industry which allows us to bring drivers this Ferrari driving experience and its astonishing level of performance in a safe and controlled environment.

But let’s not forget that the Ferrari will not go unchallenged on the day. No clash of the titans is complete without a worthy competitor, and the Evo is exactly that. Where the Ferrari impresses the eye, the Evo wastes no time.

Encompassing a rugged and no nonsense image, the car barely contains its seasoned 2.0 litre turbo charged engine, which boasts an astonishing power output of up to 405hp. With these figures and statistics, gift buyers can be sure that their loved ones will enjoy driving experiences which offer near mythical levels of excitement, spectacle and value for money.

Many driving experiences can often be impersonal or sub-standard. The cars may not be of the best quality, and the range of models sparse. That’s why here at U Drive, we aim to provide the best quality cars, in the best of settings. We use our own venue at Heyford Park in Oxfordshire, and have our own workshop and team of vehicle technicians to ensure that all of the cars have been serviced to the highest standard. We have such an impressive and diverse range of supercars, that we believe nobody should be denied the opportunity to have the ride of their life. That’s why we offer combination experiences, including the fantastic Ferrari driving experience.

Of course, it’s up to you, the driver, to pick which experience suits you best, but our Ferrari v Audi R8 experience is nothing short of phenomenal. If you have yet to sit in the driving seat of a Ferrari, you have yet to experience why this stunning car is a supercar classic. With its 400bhp V8 engine, you will be left wondering what any other car could possibly offer you. That’s where we move onto the Audi R8. Labelled as one of the all-time greats, the Audi R8 perfectly complements any Ferrari experience. With its rear engine and four wheel drive, the Audi is not only extremely powerful, but will also give you a ride which is smooth, sleek and ultimately flawless. Of course, it is also exceptionally fast.

With our driving experiences guaranteed to give you a day you’ll never forget, prepare to sink yourself into the supercar’s luxury interior and speed away into the distance. Offering the most personal and thrilling Ferrari driving experience around, contact U Drive to book your Ferrari v Audi R8 experience today.

Do you find your loved one on the edge of their seat every Sunday, as your dishing up the roast? If they love the thrill of Formula 1, a driving experience may be the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary or just as a special treat. As providers of the famous Ferrari driving experience, we at U Drive Cars offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get behind the wheel of the 360 and take it for a spin around our professional racing track.

Ferrari are arguably the most popular manufacturer of supercars today, with the 360 one of their most sought-after models. Our driving experience enables enthusiasts to get their very first taste of this calibre of vehicle, from the moment the driver turns the key their senses will be catapulted into another dimension.

At only £70 this really is a treat that is not to be missed. The day will start with a registration where the driver will be offered tea or coffee. We take the safety of our customers very seriously, therefore no driver is allowed out on the track before taking part in a safety briefing. One of our qualified drivers will then take the customer out on a familiarisation lap, before they are let loose themselves.

Anyone over the age of 17 can take part in the experience as long as they hold a full, manual driving licence. We recommend that if an individual is able to drive a standard car, they should be able to handle the Ferrari 360. If there are any further questions, customers are encouraged to give our team a call.

To purchase a Ferrari driving experience or a voucher for your loved one to spend themselves, simply visit our website. If you have any questions and you are unable to find the answer on our website, our team are on hand to take your call.
