What Can I Expect

Say hello to the Nissan GT-R R35! The blisteringly quick Nissan GT-R is a true revelation. It is just SO fast. Despite being a fraction of the cost, this car will give those fancy Italian supercars a serious run for their money. For the spectator, it's a case of blink and you'll miss it - even though you'll most certainly hear it for a while before and after it passes you on track.

Remember the famous runway chase scene from the Fast and Furious 6 movie? Well, that was filmed at Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire, which is one of the location options for this experience. You could call it some kind of glorious homecoming for this very fast and very furious wonder machine.

Purists will be careful to point out that the R35, which was finally released in Europe in 2009, is completely different to the Nissan Skyline GT-R. It's a whole new car, albeit one that has a twin turbo six cylinder engine and is all wheel drive just like the later versions of the Skyline. Even more confusingly, Nissan has continued the chassis naming convention, hence why this generation of GT-R is called the R35.

Some say you shouldn't call this Godzilla, whilst others think the nickname should carry on. But we're not here to discuss the minute details of this massively impressive car. This experience is all about getting behind the wheel of the GT-R R35 model and driving it. For three or six thrilling laps you'll be in charge. Well, when we say it's you in charge, clearly the car is the boss, but you know what we mean!

Indeed, driving a Nissan GT-R R35 is all pretty surreal. When you think that the multifunction onboard display was developed in partnership with the company behind the legendary Gran Turismo games, you get the feeling this car is part science fiction. But hurtling along that fast straight, you are most definitely experiencing all that acceleration for real!
