7 Alternative Driving Experiences

A driving experience makes the ideal gift for those who may be tricky to buy for but what happens when you want something a little bit different from the usual supercar drives?  If you caught my recent review of the new Ford Focus RS and it has wet your appetite for some adventurous driving (in a safe and controlled environment of course) then you may like to consider giving some of these a bash.

There is everything from stunt driving to diggers…yes digger driving in our list of the best alternative driving experiences on offer.  Here are our top 7…

Extreme 4×4

What do you look for when taking a 4×4 land rover for a drive? The chance to go off road? Check. A range of obstacles to work your way over? Check. Huge inclines? Check. Yep this driving experience has it all and is perfect for birthday parties or stag dos!

Dragster Experience

Looking for an experience you’ll never forget? Then why not test out this Dragster! One of the fastest vehicles that you will ever drive – you’ll even have the chance to perform a legendary Dragster burnout. Pretty cool, huh.

Bendy Bus Driving

This former public transport model is available to drive around a 2 mile track giving you the complete experience of one of the most notorious vehicles to ever be created. Bruntingthorpe Events provide this unique track day option that certainly offers something different to the normal driving experience!

Tank Paintballing

Fancy riding round in a tank? How about playing paintball while your at it? This awesome experience combines those two very things is available for you and your mates from buyagift.com.

Stunt Driving Experience

If you’ve ever watched a Hollywood car chase and fancied giving it a go then now’s your chance with a stunt car driving experience. You can spent an entire day learning how to J-turn, handbrake turn and then perform a wheelie – just like in the movies!

JCB Driving

Diggerland is the ideal place for both adults and children to test out a range of JCB driving options – the park is only open at certain times of the year but is fun for all the family and you get to test out giant diggers!

Drifting Experience

When taking a supercar out around a circuit just isn’t enough you can always try out this drifting experience. With a choice of cars and the ability to experience a true professional drifting in an awesome passenger ride this is certainly one not to miss!

I got to try this feature out as the new Focus RS has it as a built-in option and it was epic.  It took me a few go’s of the Spanish circuit to get my confidence up but once things got going it was epic!!
