  • Full briefing and demo laps driven by a qualified instructor
  • Take the driving seat of the F430 for three laps
  • End with a certificate presentation

The Ferrari F430 is one of the finest sports cars in the world, and driving it is an intense pleasure. It has a 4.3 litre V8 engine producing 483bhp, combined with an all-aluminium chassis that delivers astonishing road-holding and manoeuvrability. Be warned, this car is capable of 0-60 mph in under four seconds and has a top speed of almost 200mph; it's not for the faint-hearted! Your experience begins with a briefing from a qualified instructor who'll talk you through racing lines, driving techniques and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then you'll be driven around the circuit in a Mazda 3 MPS for three demo laps before putting the theory into practice behind the wheel of the fantastic Ferrari 430. This car has it all - pace, incredible handling and stunning design. Drive three breathtaking laps of Thruxton's famous 2.4 mile circuit racetrack - one of the fastest circuits in the UK. Finish your experience with a certificate presentation.
