Aston Martin Driving Experience #2
Since coming into existence nearly 100 years ago, Austin Martin has been synonymous with class and power. What could be classier? A bowler hat? No, a bowler hat is like some dog mess outside a low budget fried chicken hatch next to this car.
What could be more powerful? A pneumatic drill? Being used by an ox? Well, that just seems silly. If you’re not going to take this whole analogy thing seriously, then let’s just stop right now. This is just like the time you compared Julia Roberts to a number of different trees. ‘She’s like an elm. She’s like a sycamore.’ Worst afternoon of my life.
No, this is a powerful vehicle all right. And you’ll get to maneuver it for six whole miles (or thereabouts) around a racetrack. Follow in the wheels of James Bond. Not in the gunplay or casual sleeping around with various ladies having improbable names way. I mean in the driving an Aston Martin really fast around a track way. And you’ll receive a little something to remind you of your day.
Add a dash of class and power to your non-classy, unpowerful life. Try this Aston Martin driving experience.

What happens on the day?
A safety briefing and driving run-through will kick off your day. Then it’s out on the track for some familiarisation laps with an instructor driving (the number of laps varies depending on location - at some locations you will receive one lap). Once you are all familiar, you’ll get approximately 6 miles of with your Aston Martin that you’ve decided to call ‘Martin’ as you have no imagination. The actual number of laps you take in Martin will vary depending on the length of the track at your choice of course. You will drive an Aston Martin AMV8, Vantage or DB9, dependant on location. You’ll be presented with a certificate at the end of the day to commemorate your incredible experience. Long sleeved shirts, long trousers and soft-soled shoes (occasionally called trainers) must be worn.Notes
