Rockingham Xperience Day – The Challenge
The Rockingham Xperience is all about variety. You’ll get to drive a selection of our racing cars on four very different tracks, providing a challenge for everyone.
GBS Auto-Test
You’ll be cheering on your team-mates as they screech their way round the tricky auto-test course in our lightweight, super quick Great British Sportscar (GBS), desperately trying to avoid sending cones flying while scrabbling for grip. You’ll be laughing your head off as they demolish the course – but then it’s your turn in the hot seat. What’s more, you’re up against the clock. This experience is not only about speed but also agility and precision, pushing you to the limits to see how you work under pressure. Will you crack or have you got what it takes to clear the course without penalties?
On The Track
The National Circuit mixes technical low speed corners with high speed sweeping curves. To master this circuit you’ll need to be super-smooth and position the car accurately lap after lap. You’ll have to look ahead and anticipate braking areas while still maintaining maximum speed.
Supercar Head-to-Head
You’ll get behind the wheel of not one, but two of world’s top supercars, in a head-to-head challenge to compare the performance of the Ferrari or Lamborghini – which will you prefer?
Ariel Atom Challenge
Or maybe you’ll enjoy stripping everything back to the driving bare essentials with the Ariel Atom – no traction control, no ABS, just pure power! The blistering acceleration and raw speed experience will be sure to leave your heart in your mouth and a smile on your face.
Wet Grip Encounter
Ready for the unexpected? Water which springs up out of nowhere, a kick-plate which fires you off-line, a polished surface, so smooth it’s like ice. On our unique wet grip area you will learn where the limits are with our dynamic driving instruction. You’ll soon be honing your reactions dodging our water walls with flamboyant slides. These hard-to-master techniques will stand you in good stead in any driving situation. Learning how to drive on our highly-polished basalt tile surface is tricky but will have you grinning from ear-to-ear.
Off-Road Challenge
Could you cut it off-road? It’s tough, it’ll max your driving abilities but it’s the most fun you can have at just 5mph! In the Xperience Land Rover Defender you’ll feel invincible as you crest the peaks and plough the troughs. Top 4×4 fun.
Formula RX
Can you tame the oval in our single-seaters with the commitment needed to drive these racing cars right to the edge? The Formula RX single-seaters embody racing in its rawest form -without limits and can hit over 140mph around Europe’s fastest racing circuit and the UK’s only banked Oval. Driving these single-seaters takes courage, it takes top skills to keep your foot to the floor. Tiny adjustments of the controls – and your nerve – are all that’s needed.
Triple Track Xperience
In addition to the full-day Rockingham Xperience driving days, we also offer the half-day Triple Track Xperience. The package includes three driving activities and two-course lunch.
Supercar Xperience
Get behind the wheel of one of the top supercars of the world! Xperience either a technically superb Ferrari or the outrageous Lamborghini and put your foot down just like the pros.
Ariel Atom
Or maybe you’ll enjoy stripping everything back to the driving bare essentials with the Ariel Atom – no traction control, no ABS, just pure power! The blistering acceleration and raw speed experience will be sure to leave your heart in your mouth and a smile on your face.
Both these activities will take place on Rockingham’s 1.7-mile National Circuit, which mixes technical low speed corners with high speed sweeping curves. To master this track you’ll need to be super-smooth and position the car accurately lap after lap. You’ll have to look ahead and anticipate braking areas while still maintaining maximum speed.
