FAQs

Q. Do I need a driving licence?

A. With the exception of the Junior Drive Experiences (who need to produce a proof of age), all participants must hold a full, valid driving licence with no serious convictions. You must also be able to drive a manual transmission car. If you do not have a licence a voucher can still be purchased and you can be driven around any of our circuits by a qualified professional Instructors/Race Drivers.

Q. How long will I be at the venue for?

A. Typically we ask each customer to allow an hour and a half at the venue for a drive in one Supercar and a further 45 minutes per extra Supercar chosen to drive.

In the confirmation pack sent out to each driver before an event, it explains how we do require each customer to arrive a minimum of 45 minutes before their drive to allow for registration and safety briefing. It is very important that you arrive at your allotted time promptly as we will be briefing groups of customers every 30 minutes.

Q. What happens on the day?

A. When you get to the venue follow the signage to the car park and the signage to the Registration centre. On arrival at our Registration area we will welcome you and ask to see your driving licence. You will be asked to sign an event indemnity form with all your details including address and next of kin details.

After registration you will introduce you to our safety and welcoming Instructor for a briefing. On the day we recommend a sighting lap which will typically be in a BMW M3 . The Briefing Instructor will arrange this for you. It will save you “wasting” one of your Supercar drives trying to learn the circuit from scratch.

Q. Can I drive more cars on the day?

A. Providing we have availability, there is always an opportunity to purchase extra drives on the day but please be aware, to guarantee a drive in a specific car you’ll need to book in advance through this website or call us on 0131 370 0477. If you bring family and friends they can also participate. Please ask a member of staff or visit the sales desk on site.

A. We always bring a wide selection of Supercars to our events. We always have a guest car this can be a Ferrari 458 Spyder or the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. Hotlaps are also available to participants and their guests in our ariel Atoms, and we also have family drift laps in our BMW M3, awesome fun!

Q. Can I bring friends with me?

A. Yes you are welcome to bring as many guests as you like.

Guests can also participate in a Supercar Driving Experience or be driven at high speed around the circuit by one of our Instructors – known as a ‘Hot Lap’. This can be paid for and arranged on the day of the event or can be purchased directly via our call centre. We have card facilities at every event. If you are a guest and would like to drive then please do not forget to bring along your driving licence. A list of Supercars available to ‘Pay and Drive’ and the prices per lap are on display at each event. Hotlaps are in the Awesome Ariel Atom 300 Bhp Supercharge. Family Hotlaps are available in the BMW M3 V8 (3 Passengers) Plenty of sideways action. (Race Driver Driven)

Q. will I be driving the cars by myself?

A. During your time driving with us you will always be accompanied by one of our friendly Instructors who will give advice on driving technique, and guidance on braking, cornering etc. Our Instructors hold s accredited licences such as ARDS and MSA.

Q. What about photos and in-car filming?

A. Photographs of your driving experience in one of our Supercars will also be available at extra cost. The photograph will be presented in an Ingliston driving Events folder. All photos captured are by professional photographer positioned at various parts of the circuit. In-car Filming is a new feature and great to keep for those special moments showing family and friends. You will receive all footage of your drives in all of the cars including any hot laps.

One thing we are sure of is that you will have a day to remember!

Q. What happens if I damage a supercar while driving.

A. You are liable for the first £5000 of any damage you cause which is beyond the normal wear and tear to the vehicle.

There is an option to purchase Collision Damage Insurance Cover which will insure you against this, however, if the damage is a direct result of your reckless, negligent or deliberate action then you will remain liable for all of the damage to the vehicle regardless of whether you have Collision Damage Insurance Cover or not. The cost of vehicle damage waiver starts from £25, this can be taken out at the time of purchase, upon booking your event day or at the venue before you start your experience. All vehicles have in-car footage and can be viewed by the management at any time on the day of your drive as required by our insurers.

Q. What happens if there is bad weather?

A. The weather should not affect any of the driving days, but if extreme weather persists (e.g. snow, fog or ice) the day may have to be cancelled for your own safety. You will be given as much notice as possible and will be offered another date. We text and email and will try and call the customer in most cases. Please check for updates via your text and emails. Where we have your mobile number we will call you. Please ensure that you provide us with a correct and current contact telephone number at the time of booking.

Q. Are there any Restrictions?

A. Drivers shorter than 5’0 or taller than 6’6 and/or weighing more than 19 stone may have difficulty being accommodated.

Q. What should I wear?

A. Comfortable clothing with thin-soled shoes for driving. All safety equipment is provided. The weather is changeable at short notice, so remember to bring warm clothing, a waterproof coat and umbrella. We generally try to provide cover in inclement weather but cannot guarantee this.
