Go head to head in some really super supercars in Stafford

[caption id="attachment_1457" align="alignleft" width="250"] As our Mum said on seeing this picture 'You've got that determined look on your face'. Hmmm[/caption] On our recent visit to this rallying and supercar operator in Staffordshire, the guys and girls told us about this new supercar head to head experience that they are now offering - and it's a good one! You get to choose to drive two cars from a pool of four of the finest supercars out there at the moment : the Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 360, and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

Be the star in that reasonably-priced car

[caption id="attachment_1402" align="alignright" width="250"] Be a Star in a car and race against the clock to hit the top of the leaderboard[/caption] The 'Star in a reasonably-priced car' is one of our favourite segments on Top Gear, when you watch the likes of Harry Enfield, Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsay battling with the family saloon car  to get the fastest lap they can, to make sure they don't disgrace themselves on the celebrity leaderboard. What really make us laugh is the onboard camera footage - much comedy when Michael Gambon clipped the last corner on two wheels, leading to Jeremy...

New outdoor go karting experience

We've just added go karting in Suffolk to our portfolio of go karting venues. The centre offers a top notch 700m long tarmac outdoor circuit packed full of high-speed straights and hair-raising hair pins for you to attack in the 250cc go karts. There's no complicated Grand Prix system in operation here, you simply turn up, take part in the safety briefing then get kitted up and out onto the track. In essence, you could find yourself enjoying some time driving solo around the track, or racing head to head with other track users. Either way, you'll love the fact...

All that winter weather is making us skid

[caption id="attachment_210" align="alignright" width="250"] Learn how to slip and slide properly on a skid control experience[/caption] There's nothing quite like sliding in the car sideways down the hill from your house when trying to get to work on a snowy day and this winter we've found ourselves in this situation on more than one occasion. So we'll be putting skid control experience at the top of our birthday list this year (it's the 25th July by the way!). With any luck, the Big Boss at Into the Blue HQ will read this and send me off to one of eight...
