The Experience
You’re about to take the wheel of an Audi R8, one of the most recognisable modern supercars.
Powered by a V8 engine producing over 400 bhp, the R8 delivers impressive performance along with the sharp styling and engineering that Audi is known for. The model shares much of its underlying engineering with the Lamborghini Gallardo, giving it strong performance and excellent balance.
Your experience begins with a short briefing before heading onto the course. A professional instructor will remain in the passenger seat throughout the session, guiding you as you take control of the car.
You will then spend 10 minutes driving the Audi R8, getting a feel for how this powerful supercar responds to steering, braking and acceleration.
After your time behind the wheel, the excitement continues with a high-speed passenger ride in another performance car, driven by an experienced race instructor.
Drivers must be at least 10 years old and a minimum height of 147 cm.
For young car enthusiasts, it’s an exciting opportunity to experience driving a real supercar.
