What Can I Expect

Meet the beast on this Shelby GT500 driving experience! You'll need your wits about you for this drive. This car is a modern take on the classic 'Eleanor' Shelby Mustang, which means that distinctive dark-grey bodywork, with maximum power under the hood. Will you be driving it like you've got somewhere to be in under a minute?!

The Shelby GT500 is a whole world of supercharged horsepower. This is a 2015 third generation Mustang that has been tweaked and modified to be a total barbarian on the track. That distinctive V8 throaty exhaust will get everyone turning their heads to look, as you crank it up along the straight of Bovingdon's airfield circuit. Hit the braking zone at the sweet spot and you'll get this GT500 around the corners at some serious speed.

Sitting alongside you for your Shelby GT500 will be an expert driving instructor. They'll first show you the ropes on a reconnaissance drive in a performance car, with you as a passenger. Then when it's your turn at the wheel of the Shelby, they'll give you all the hints and tips on that coveted racing line, shaving off seconds with each lap; confidence in the big GT increasing with every loop.

Reckon you can handle this American brute out on the track? Book your Shelby GT500 driving experience and get properly pumped for your 4 or 8 driving laps of the challenging Bovingdon Circuit.
