Porsche911 Driving experience

Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone, Northants 90-minute session £295

BEING thrown the keys to a new 911 Carrera is sure to whet the appetite. And while the focus is on performance driving, Porsche’s state-of-the-art facility at the home of British motorsport also has tracks that provide wet conditions, plus areas simulating ice and snow driving with special low-friction surfaces.

The notorious ‘kick plate’ that sends the rear of your car sideways is exciting and an education as you wrestle to regain control. The great thing about the 911 experience is that you can choose which tracks you want to focus on, plus other Porsches are available for you to sample.
