Experience the thrill of driving your own car on a Three Sisters track day! This famous professional race circuit near Wigan opens its doors so you can take part in a track day in your own car. This is your chance to really test the capabilities of your car & your driving. The idea of these own car track days at Three Sisters is to open up driving your road car or track car around a circuit with separate groups for novices road cars & track cars. No pressure certainly no racing & a relaxed atmosphere is conducive to learning all about the art of track craft. & no you don't need a fancy pants sports car for these track day events. Far from it in fact. As long as your car is in good roadworthy condition with fully working seatbelts you can take it onto the track. You'll also need to pass a static noise test where the limit is 105db (A)
- a standard road/track car will have no problem with this. After that it's over to you to see what you & your trusty car can do. With so m...

Exclusive 4x 4 at Eastwell for two! Forget that old saying 'horses for courses' this is all about horsepower for off road courses when the two of you get to tackle the bumps & lumps together! This 4x 4 session for friends is all about sharing
- & it's up to you how you split the driving time. It will just be the two of you in the 4x 4 for the duration of the session. Your personal instructor & host will be sitting up front in the passenger seat acting as font of all off-roading knowledge tour guide & source of many an anecdote & amusing tale. As for who's driving & who is playing back seat 4x 4 driver? Well that's for you two to decide but most pairs choose to mix & match swapping over drivers fairly regularly. To tackle the technical stuff you'll need the right machine for the job. Lucky then that this LANTRA-approved off road centre has a rafter nifty duo of vehicles ready & waiting. There's the big shiny Land Rover Discovery & the beefy Toyota Hilux. Both are proper 4x 4s that do serious all-terrain work Of course after a few rounds of mud dust & water with the two of you at the helm we can safely say the 4x 4s will be absolutely covered in grime. Interestingly the instructors have a tendency to drive with the windows rolled down…surely won't the water come in when you hit those troughs sloshing muddy water up to the door handles?A highlight of this session of 4x 4ing for friends has to be when you egg each other on over the steep side slope. Instinct tells you to grab hold of the interior roof when you feel yourselves & the vehicle leaning dramatically to one side but your instructor will be reminding you it's both hands on the wheel! These off roading for two vouchers are offered as a two or three hour experience. If you plump for the longer sessions you will both tackle the obstacle course before having time to whizz off to try a nice bit of green laneing too (that's where you head off on rough tracks & trails across the countryside).

It's a day out in the countryside with a difference when you go off roading in the Cotswolds! These experiences take place at the Cotswold Water Park where there are lots of natural & man-made obstacles for you to tackle in your 4x 4 vehicle. These sessions are run in small groups & each driver takes it in turn to drive. When you're not at the wheel you'll be in the car as a passenger. Your instructor will be hosting from the front passenger seat making sure you get the best out of these off road vehicles. & it's an iconic 4x 4 at that. You'll be tackling the tricky terrain at this site just south of Cirencester in a Land Rover Discovery. These trusty Landys are the workhorses of the countryside the world over. As home on safari in the Savannah as they are here in the Cotswolds you can't do better than a Discovery. We can pretty much bet you'll bottle it before the car ever does! You'll find this off road centre in amongst the 150 lakes that make up Cotswold Water Park. It's pi... ...

Can you cut it in the grass kart? These funky off road go karts are great to drive on the green stuff. You’re sure to be grappling like mad with the steering on this brilliant grass karting track in Fordsham.

Designed & built in the UK the Gemini Dominator kart is a right little pocket of punchiness. With a really low centre of gravity but impressive ground clearance at the same time they handle really well on this Cheshire off road karting circuit. They are also really easy to drive too
- it’s just a case of rev & go
- so those as young as 12 can drive them making this a superb choice for families & small groups alike.

Of course we have to admit that the Gemini does look like a roll cage on wheels but that’s what makes it so agile. That space-frame chassis is tough but lightweight & the lack of body panels helps keep the overall weight down & the fun factor up. Yes you’ll feel pretty exposed in the completely open cockpit but bouncing along in your off road go kart is all par for the course with these sort of buggies.

As for build extras on the Gemini? Well if you’re lucky you might get mud guards. But we think kicking up the turf & soil is all part of grass karting. Don’t go expecting anything fancy like ABS power steering or comforts like a windscreen
- this is (excuse the pun) grass roots go karting at its best.

After being shown the Dominator’s controls you’ll be out there on your own on the track. That’s because these Geminis are single seater so there’s no room for anyone to hitch a ride. It’s up to you to go out there & go for it. Those extra knobbly tyres on the buggy will do you proud as you swing into & out of the corners take flight over the bumps & accelerate off down the straight.

It’s pretty full-on piloting an off road kart like the Gemini so experiences are run with a maximum of three karts on the track at any one time. You’ll be taking your madcap buggy out for 10 laps of the four-acre circuit filled with drifting bends chicanes lumps & bumps.
