It is always somewhat of a difficult task to find the right gifts for friends and family year in and year out. That’s why, at some point in all of our lives, we resort to constantly contributing to our loved one’s sock collection. And why not? Socks are useful! They just aren’t very…well…exciting. To get the right present to give the right impression the best thing to do is buy a present that specifically appeals to the person you are giving the gift to. For example, a 50 year old man is rarely going to be excited about receiving a hair curling iron, but perhaps a new book about an area of his interest would be a suitable present.

For some people though, the perfect present is just too hard to find, especially if that person is interested in nothing but fast cars and extreme sports. When it comes to buying gifts for a speed fanatic; video games, DVDs and books on the topic of fast cars are all well and good but none of these are quite good enough for someone who deserves that little bit extra. What these people really want is to be able to experience speed first hand.

driving experience days are the perfect way to give any real thrill seeker a gift that will really appeal to them (short of buying them a car and a race track). These days, there are so many different driving experiences available which range from rally rides, to Aston Martin thrills and even military driving experiences. Picture the scene: you hand your loved one a flat, rectangular shaped present on their birthday, looking perplexed they open it to find a personalised invitation to play James Bond for the day by hurling a 100,000 Aston Martin DB9 around one of the many racetracks dotted across England.

If you think you know someone who deserves a ticket to a driving experience days, the process could not be simpler. Most experiences require that the recipient is in possession of a valid UK driving licence and are within a certain height/weight restriction, but there are also driving experiences specifically tailored to be suitable for those aged 11 and up. So whether you know of a young one who fancies themselves as the next Lewis Hamilton or if you think Dad deserves to show his skills on the track to prove that he is not “past it”, driving experience days are not a bad idea at all.

There are many locations across the UK at which driving experience days are held, so it is relatively simple to find a location that is suitable to travel to. Customers are expected to travel to the chosen location and spectators are usually welcome, but maybe it would be a good idea to let the speed freak relax in Tadalis SX the passenger seat while someone with less of an appetite for speed drives. Just a suggestion! There will be plenty of time for the speed freak to drive whilst at the track.

Once at the chosen location the ticket holder will be tutored by a professional driving instructor who may even be a race driver themselves. It is guaranteed that they will teach your chosen one everything they need to know from how to handle the vehicle to how to best stick to the racing line and go as fast as possible. And that makes perfect sense because the instructor will often be sitting right beside driver, so it is in their best interest to be a good teacher. The common idea seems to be that these instructors will heavily regulate the drivers driving behaviour and take the fun out of the experience but this is not at all true. Whilst the instructor is there to ensure the driver doesn’t drive too recklessly (for example driving upside down) it is often the case that the instructor will be showing the driver where they can pick up more speed on the track and push them to the highest point of their driving ability. Of course, if you don’t think the recipient of a driving experience days would want an instructor sitting next to them, you could always buy them a single seater race car driving experience so that it would be just them, the car and the race track.

The feeling of going fast is something that cannot be fully captured in a book, a DVD, or a game; speed is something that really can only be experienced first hand in real life. With this in mind a driving experience day is probably the easiest, safest and most affordable way to give a gift to a person with a need for speed.
