Experience a Sunday Drive with a Difference This Weekend at Croft
Drivers looking for the ultimate Sunday thrill can get behind the wheel this May as Croft Circuit launches its first Sunday Drive... With a Difference experience on Sunday 17th May 2026.
Running from 10:00am to 3:00pm, the unique driving experience gives participants the chance to tackle one of the UK’s most technical and rewarding race circuits in two very different performance machines — all under the guidance of professional ARDS-qualified instructors.
The experience begins with two laps in a Mini Cooper, where drivers will discover just how thrilling lightweight, responsive handling can be through Croft’s tight corners and technical sections. Participants will then swap classic British charm for modern Alpine performance, taking to the circuit in the stunning Alpine A110S — a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car engineered for balance, agility and precision.
As part of the day, guests will also enjoy a high-speed passenger ride alongside an experienced race instructor, offering a true taste of the racing line and the full pace of Croft Circuit from the passenger seat.
For those wanting to experience the thrill without getting behind the wheel, Croft Circuit is also offering a dedicated hot lap passenger experience for just £30 per person — the perfect opportunity to feel the speed, braking and cornering forces of a racing circuit with a professional driver at the controls.
Renowned as “The Home of Motorsport in the North”, Croft Circuit’s challenging combination of elevation changes, blind crests and fast-flowing chicanes has made it a favourite among club racers and professionals alike. The FIA-licensed 2.1-mile circuit is widely regarded as one of the UK’s most engaging tracks for developing driver skill and confidence.
Whether you’re completely new to track driving or a seasoned enthusiast looking for your next adrenaline fix, this experience promises an unforgettable day on track.
