The Caterham Seven 270 belongs on a race track. This lightweight sports car with stunning performance comes alive and is an absolute hoot around Croft's legendary twists and turns. The first prototype was built by the great Colin Chapman in 1957. This latest Caterham Seven 270 feels alive and agile in a way that few other road cars can ever hope to replicate.

Watching Formula 1 will never be the same again after you've experienced driving a proper single-seat racing car on a proper race circuit. Many of the current crop of F1 drivers started their careers in the junior formulas. Once seated with the racing straps fitted around you the engine bursts into life, and you'll feel like a Grand Prix is about to start. Once up to speed, everything clicks into place as you and the car become one, getting quicker every lap, the car responding instantly. A truly unique experience and one that will be remembered.

What to expect from the Caterham & Racing Car Driving Experience

This driving experience puts you behind the wheel of the Caterham Seven 270, a single-seat racing car and a Porsche Cayman around Croft Circuit.

To prepare you for your time on the track, one of our ARDS race instructors will take you around the track to help familiarise you with the circuit layout. Then it's time to get behind the wheel of the first car - the Porsche Cayman.

The mid-engined sports car is great fun and incredibly rewarding to drive, it gives great driver feedback, accurate and responsive steering and great handling balance. the perfect car for your first laps around Croft Circuit.

Next, is the single-seat racing car. You don't so much sit in a single-seat racing car as get physically attached to it. Tightly strapped into the cockpit, you become part of the car. Every bump, camber and vibration is transmitted through the driver, you know and feel exactly what is happening. Racing tyres and aero wings help give razor-sharp responses. Try to relax behind the wheel, even the slightest driver input is a noticeable direction change.

After the racing car, its time to get strapped into the British made Caterham Seven 270 - a truly unforgettable experience. You sit over the rear axle with the engine out in front. This is a car like no other. The car reacts to your every input, giving you immediate feedback. It's addictive!

Three Amazing Cars

Firmly strapped into the cockpit the car is an extension of you. It will react to every input. When you brake it stops, turn the steering wheel and it darts left or right. Road cars seem soggy and unresponsive by comparison.
