A drift car hot lap in a scorching hot Nissan 350Z! Available at tracks around the country this is your chance to experience drifting from the front passenger seat as you’re taken for a thrilling passenger ride in a brilliant car.
The Nissan 350Z is a fab little motor. It’s a fine example of a Japanese rear wheel drive coupe that loves to drift. Drifting is practically a national sport in Japan and it has properly caught on here in the UK too. That’s why we’re offering drift car hot laps. With an expert drifter at the wheel you’ll get the full-force of the drift.
What’s the difference between drifting and just racing around a track? Well to drift like a pro you need to be going in and out of corners not just fast but also sideways. And when you’ve really got the drift of drifting turns are linked – and it almost becomes a ballet out there on the track.
It also helps if the surface is low grip. That why your super-skilled driver will be able to fling the Nissan into the corners even earlier and at even higher speeds. It’s a tricky balance between power and control too. Push it too far and you spin out unceremoniously. What’s amazing about these drift car hot laps is that your driver host knows just how far to push it with the car right on the edge of being out of control but never losing control.
You’ll be riding up front in the Nissan 350Z for about five minutes. Now that might not sound like a very long time but when you compare it to a theme park roller coaster ride it certainly is long enough to be thrilling enough to feel like your eyeballs are popping out in stalks!
As long as you’re at least 11 years old and 4ft 10” tall you can go on these fabulous drift car hot lap experiences. Depending on the venue your five minutes will give you around six laps of the circuit – plenty of time to lap up the ridiculously fast and furious driving of you expert driving host. Just get ready to hold on tight before that first corner!

Prepare yourself and be brave on these BMW M3 rides! The term ‘hotlap’ was invented for the M3. It’s long been one of the motoring world’s favourite performance saloons and these passenger rides show off the BMW at its sporty best.
Equally at home street racing as it is on the race track it’s little wonder we’re offering both track hot laps and drifting laps in the BMW. It’s going to be a difficult choice to make. Do you go hooning it down the straights in a sheer show of power? Or do you get a nice side-slide on as you experience linked drift turns? Both are exhilarating and both will get the old adrenaline pumping.
What we love about the M3 is that it has understated class. Subtle body styling suits this German mid-sized monster. There’s only the very discreet little M3 badge on the boot that shows off the car’s pedigree as this is the moniker of the in-house motorsport division of BMW where this car was conceived.
The classy exterior is complemented by the tasteful interior. It’s quite something else to slide into the passenger seat. It’s just not like getting into your usual car. It feels like you’re entering the nerve centre the cockpit the HQ of this most sporty of BMWs. Under the bonnet it’s all there present and correct as you’d expect. Being a twin turbo gives this BMW a rather fine noise – especially when accelerating away from the paddock on your crazy BMW M3 ride.
Be it classic racing lines or drift corners the ride and handling of the M3 is hard to beat. In the hands of us mere mortals this car is superlative so imagine what it’s going to be like with a pro-driver at the helm. Sheer passenger heaven that’s what. If this is a drift taxi then we want to hail it.
We are offering BMW M3 rides as either drifting or high speed laps at various venues around the UK. They both give you three-miles of supreme driving courtesy of your expert host who’ll be at the wheel. And if you fancy inviting a couple of back seat passengers along (just to prove the M3 is actually a sensible four-seater saloon!) you can do!

After all this is the car that if you can change gear quick enough will accelerate from 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds…
In the words of a certain Jeremy Clarkson: “This is the most beautiful car in the world partly because it’s so elegant and partly because it’s a wonderful piece of engineering.” You have to admit the heady mix of good looks power and incredible design is highly attractive – no wonder everyone who experiences an Atom either as a passenger or a driver waxes lyrical about the little sports car from Somerset.
For this thrill ride you will be up front in the Ariel Atom but in the passenger seat. That leaves the only other seat for your expert driver. Having lots of experience behind the wheel of this thing means they know how to get the best out of this crazy car which in turn means that you get the most thrilling Ariel Atom ride out there.
And believe us being a passenger in an Ariel Atom that’s going full throttle on a hotlap is really something else. With the Atom’s unique exoskeletal chassis you can see all the components working whilst your being driven around the track. Look down and the see the suspension steering and even your driver working the pedals. And the best bit? Make sure you look towards the inside wheel on the corners you can see how your driver perfects that racing line with the wheel hitting the apex of the turn every time.
Some might say the Ariel Atom is the classic mid-life crisis car. Others might think it is just too mad to be driven. But a vehicle as unique individual and inspired as the Ariel Atom needs to be experienced. And we reckon the best way to do it is on an exhilarating Ariel Atom ride. Full face helmet and racing harness on and get ready to rumble in this car they call driving nirvana.
