The 6th Gear Experience was established three years ago and will run 30 scheduled driving experiences in 2009, in addition to other corporate hospitality and special track days. Safety is paramount and each drive is supervised by a fully trained and experienced instructor. All are experienced in driving supercars and have also been vetted through the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) to check they can work with youngsters. Safety helmets are provided and the instructor ensures the vehicle speed is controlled to match the driver’s capability. Most young drivers average about 35mph although with practise if the instructor thinks they are competent, they can go faster.

The lucky youngsters will also receive a certificate to mark their drive with photographs available as well. The cars that are available are as follows. All feature an automatic gearbox (plus dual controls) so no previous driving experience is necessary;

- Aston Martin DB9 (0-60 in 4.6 seconds).

- Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder ( 0-60 in 3.7 seconds).

- Ferrari F360 Spider ( 0-60 in 4.4 seconds).

- Audi R8 (0-60 in 4.6 seconds).
