World's Wackiest Racers

After an introduction and safety briefing, it's straight to the trackside where your unforgettable experience will begin. You will be given refreshments an event programme and kitted out in overalls and safety equipment.

You will experience a range of the world's Wackiest motor vehicles to include:


The World's Hottest Desk - Jackets and ties will be provided as you head off for a chauffeured trip, in a fully equipped office for 3 laps around the super-fast raceway. Securely strapped in to your office chair you'll have full use of the computers, conference table and water-cooler.


The World's Fastest Sofa- Take a trip to remember in this iconic leopard-skin print 87mph sofa - the machine that started the madness. It has appeared on Top Gear, in a pop video, and now you will have place of honour for 3 laps around the racetrack with your driver.


The Double Decker Cruise- Get behind the wheel in the Double Decker car. Forget buses, imagine two cars, one on the roof of the other! You will either be the driver in the top car controlling the steering, or the driver in the bottom car controlling the pedals (clutch, accelerator, brake) - totally barking and fantastic fun for half a mile.


The Fast Asleep Bed Tour- Head out onto public roads for a 5 mile adventure tour, safely tucked up under your duvet. The ultimate buzzzzzzzz. Your chauffeur will drive you through lovely British countryside and will return you thoroughly relaxed. Hot water bottles provided.


The Wacky Racer Movie Theatre- Finally see how some of the world's wackiest cars are put through their paces in the movie theatre with time to relax, collect your certificate of the day and go back to reality.
