“We seriously enjoyed the afternoon. It was nice to have a more laid back; less busy event compared to some other track experiences. Amy and the instructor guys were fantastic, the cars were brilliant of course, and Croft is just a great track to drive. Perfect afternoon. Will definitely be back for these one-off smaller afternoons if you keep doing these!”

Sunday Drive with a Difference
NEW for 2026! The Sunday Drive with a Difference is a unique track driving experience that invites you take on one of the UK’s most technical racing circuits.
Fancy a Sunday drive with a difference?
And ever wondered what it’s like to drive on a real race circuit?
Our Sunday Drive with a Difference is the perfect chance to come along, get involved, and experience it for yourself! Whether you’re a complete beginner, a casual car enthusiast, or someone who’s always fancied trying a proper circuit, the day is designed to be welcoming, approachable and seriously good fun.
Drivers will get the chance to take both a MINI Cooper and an Alpine A110S out onto Croft’s full 2.1-mile circuit, experiencing everything from the fast straights to the technical corners that make the venue one of the UK’s best-loved tracks.
Or, if you’d prefer not to drive, you can enjoy a high-speed hot lap with one of the circuit’s ARDS-qualified instructors.
Further dates to be announced soon!
What they're saying...
“Honestly, the whole thing was fantastic. It was my first experience of a driving experience track day. Instructors couldn’t have been better. Clear instruction, safe but pushing in a very controlled way. I really enjoyed it, learned a lot. Cars were great!”
Stephen Daley - Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
“The Croft ‘Sunday Drive with a Difference’ is a fantastic opportunity to get some quality track time with expert tuition throughout. With fewer cars on track, you can really concentrate on the tuition and your driving. I’d say that this experience would benefit novice and experienced drivers alike. I really enjoyed it!”
