Breathe deeply and prepare yourself for one seriously fast Ariel Atom ride! With a professional driver at the helm of an Ariel Atom on a race track this Ariel Atom ride is only ever going to be a very high speed affair. After all this is the car that if you can change gear quick enough will accelerate from 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds… In the words of a certain Jeremy Clarkson: "This is the most beautiful car in the world partly because it's so elegant and partly because it's a wonderful piece of engineering." You have to admit the heady mix of good looks power and incredible design is highly attractive - no wonder everyone who experiences an Atom either as a passenger or a driver waxes lyrical about the little sports car from Somerset.

How do you make Ariel Atom hot laps even hotter? When they're in a supercharged Atom that's how! These passenger rides will get your eyes popping out of their sockets with the acceleration. It'll be like no other passenger car ride you've ever been on so hold on tight out there! A supercharged Atom has 300bhp. Now that might not sound that much in the horsepower-heavy world of supercars but when a car is so light that combination makes for a formidable power to weight ratio and lots of torque. So without all that superfluous weight that supercars carry just imagine the performance when a 2.4l supercharged engine has been squeezed into that distinctive Atom exo-skeletal frame… Yep this bonkers motor is about to go a little crazy on the track - with you onboard! It's a lot to handle and probably best left to the pros so perhaps just as well you'll be encountering this super fast car as a passenger rather than actually driving the thing yourself. And professionals they certainly are. Expert drivers host these passenger rides in Wales Essex and Lincolnshire. All of them know this incredible car inside out. It takes a lot of skill to get the very best out of this supercharged beast. The acceleration from the standing start is more like being launched in a rocket than pulling off in car. The handling has to be experienced to be believed. And when we talk about feeling the wind in your hair it'll be more of a tornado than a breeze at the sort of speeds you'll be going. These passenger rides aren't just for the big kids. The minimum height is 4ft so even youngsters can have a taste of what this incredible road legal car can do in the even more enticing environment of the race track. You'll be chauffeured around the circuit of your choice for three super-speedy laps. If you can keep your eyes open during your Atom hot laps you'll witness how your skilled driver hits those apexes spot on. Braking early for corners is so not on the radar. The straights are a spectacle of sheer power. And you? Well as the brave passenger you're excused if you feel the need to scream/shout/squeal - it's practically normal when being whisked around the track in this car.

No matter where you live in the country you can enjoy a 4x4 ride! Thats because we've got 4x4 demos at offroad venues the length and breadth of the country with the very best in 4x4 vehicles revved up and waiting for you. These passenger rides all have the same aim: to show you just what these 4x4s can do. When we say thrill ride you might think of high speed and acceleration. In the case of a 4x4 passenger ride it's all about low speeds and torque but that doesn't mean a ride in an off roader is any less thrilling. Far from it in fact. These vehicles are tough well-built and scared of nothing. They go places you would never even dream of attempting in your average family hatchback. Some of the settings for these 4x4 passenger experiences are pretty wild. We're talking former quarries and airfields forests and riverside tracks too. Most use the natural topography of the land to its best advantage adding in some classic manmade obstacles to add an extra dimension for drivers and passengers. A see-saw here a log roll there and some very steep drops all to get the thrill levels increased even though you're nowhere near breaking the speed limit! It's worth noting how these passenger rides work. The cars can seat up to four passengers with your expert 4x4 instructor at the wheel. Each participant has an allocated ten or so minutes for their experience but when passengers are grouped together the ride time is accumulated. So for example if there are three of you in the car you'll all be out on the track in the same car together for 30 minutes. No matter how long you are out on the circuit for in the 4x4 one thing's for sure - it's going to be a thrilling ride. Expect bumps lumps some chassis rattling and even a bit of side sliding. It's certainly true these off road vehicles can get themselves into some sticky situations but never fear these formidable 4x4s can power their way out of them too. Book in for a 4x4 ride and let your off road expert demonstrate just what a beefed up off road vehicle can do. Witnessing the moves from inside the car as a passenger really brings the whole thing to life as you pick your way through rocks water troughs and rutted tracks in an impressive display of 4x4ing prowess.
