Description

Westfield Sportscars are one of the the UK's leading hand built sports car manufacturers that is still British owned. Their cars may not be as well known as Aston Martin or Ferrari but they more than make up for it with raw, rubber burning power. They are the classic British sportscar: front engined, rear-wheel drive, lightweight and fast. If you thought that the British motor industry was dead, you're wrong, there are still pieces of magnificence left. But it's not just about driving these cars, you'll be learning how to handle these cars on the limit with tyre smoking donuts and power sliding drift burns. This experience will certainly give you a thrill. This experience will begin with a welcome, safety briefing on driving techniques and you'll be introduced to the instructors. Next there will be a short demonstration on what you will be learning during your experience. Then it is onto the driving. You will begin with the 'Intro taster'. This will be an intro taster that will allow you to learn control of the vehicle, spin, understand the counter steering and feel the raw power of the car. Next is 'Autotesting'. During this you will utilise what you have learnt and you'll be reaching much higher speeds, meaning it requires deep concentration. You will navigate through donuts, tight corners and shorter swept corners and it is all timed which counts towards the team prizes. After this there will be a break for a buffet lunch and then it's straight back to the action! Drifting comes next. Drifting is the ultimate in sideways action and there will be a lot of tyre squealing and smoke as you control the car around a figure of eight. This is a tricky skill as it requires minute steering and throttle inputs but once you've got the hang of it, it's brilliant! To end the day you will be shown how the professionals do it. Experience the awesome power of the Westfield as the car will launch you round the fast track in seconds, drifting where possible at 100mph. You will certainly be smiling when you get out of the car! This is followed by a debrief and prize giving to the fastest drivers. The person driving the car will be required to sign a disclaimer accepting liability in the event of damage to the vehicle. The driver will be given an option to purchase damage waiver cover when booking to minimise their financial exposure should there be an accident. Drivers are under no obligation to purchase this optional waiver. Full details are available at the time of booking.
