  • A full day of driving and experiencing the atmosphere of the race track. 
  • Riding in the two-seater Tuscan Challenge Race Car and be chauffeured around the track at racing speed.

This sounds brilliant.

Anyone know if there is likely to be some further South?
Even if it doesn't include the winter bit it sounds good.

Yes, sounds brilliant, I hope there is one further south, as that is just a little too far to travel.
