What to expect from the New Starter Driving Experience

It’s never too early to start! If you are not seventeen yet, but older than thirteen, then Croft has the ideal experience to give you the basic driving skills and get you on the racetrack as well! The New Starter Experience aims to help you acquire the basic car control skills that will be invaluable when you apply for a provisional driving licence. Under the expert guidance of your driving instructor, you will learn how to drive a Mini Cooper S smoothly, progressively and importantly under control. This will take place on the track and in and around the paddock areas. Each New Starter Experience is approximately one and a half hours long.

After two driving sessions the pupil completes the course by driving 2 laps of the international 2.12 miles of the race circuit.

These experiences take place on weekdays during school holidays only.

Please note that the minimum age is thirteen years old and you must be over 5' tall.

Junior driving experiences can help young drivers develop essential skills and knowledge that will make them safer drivers for life
