What Can I Expect

Get into Iron Man's Audi - and drive off! Of course, this R8 isn't Tony Stark's actual Audi (that one's far too busy looking shiny and polished in the Stark Industries car park with it's Stark 4 personal numberplate). But you'll still feel like you've got superhero super powers when you get your hands on this supercar.

We are offering Iron Man style R8 drives at a whole host of tracks and circuits around the UK, for adults and children. (Kids need to be at least 4ft5" and 10 years old or more). Of course, when our Tone is behind the wheel, he tends to weave in and out of heavy traffic on the super highways of the US of A (and never even gets a scratch on his R8), being typically bold to the point of being precocious. You'll certainly be encouraged to 'go for it' and put your foot down when you're at the helm of this Iron Man car, but there'll be no superhero antics in this R8!

You'd have to agree though, the Audi R8 is the perfect whip for someone like Tony Stark. No-one can deny this playboy business man's engineering talent and his desire to rid the world of evil threats is very commendable. We're sure Stark appreciates the technical brilliance of the R8, especially the e-tron version he drove in his third Iron Man film. And if you like your old school cars, add the Shelby to your driving experience line-up. It looks just like the bright blue 1965 Shelby that Stark destroyed when he fell through a roof onto the top of the car whilst testing his flying suit!

And whilst we all might dream of having a super suit like Anthony Edward Stark, you are not obliged to come to your driving day dressed as Iron Man. Or even in a sharp Stark-style suit for that matter. What's important on these drives is that you focus on the racing line to steer the Iron Man car smoothly through the chicanes, allowing you to accelerate effortlessly on your exit.

As the Stark himself would say: 'Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy.' Now let's see if you can drive the Iron Man Audi with accuracy and panache deserving of a very pedantic and genius superhero!
