Christmas Gift Ideas: Silverstone Driving Thrills & Experiences

Road Magazine can reveal Silverstone has a sack full of a Christmas gift ideas on special offer – with a stunning, wide range of Driving Thrills and Experiences available at discounted, festive season rates. New for 2011 is Silverstone’s bargain £79 Supercar Roulette Voucher, providing friends and family with the opportunity to drive one of three iconic road cars – either a Ferrari (various on the fleet), Nissan GT-R or an Aston Martin V8 Vantage – in the tyre tracks of legends, at the home of the British Grand Prix. The fun voucher removes any uncertainty surrounding which supercar to choose for friends and family, as Supercar Roulette comes with a twist: recipients won’t know which of these three sensational, high performance cars they will be driving until they get to Silverstone on the day. Cool eh? And an additional £70 will secure the opportunity to drive two of these spectacular cars. In addition to the Supercar Roulette, Silverstone offers an impressive collection of first-class driving Thrills: From £85, members of the public can take to sections of the world famous Grand Prix Circuit in one of Silverstone’s supercars, including a Lotus Exige, Audi R8 or Nissan 370Z. Alternatively, for any aspiring Lewis Hamiltons or Jenson Buttons, the Single Seater Thrill is the closest many will ever get to driving a Formula One car at Silverstone, providing a slick, super-quick taste of formula racing. Or for bobble hatters, there's the Rally Thrill, providing some off-road fun on a purpose-built rally handling stage in a works-built Ford Fiesta ST150 (our choice at Road Magazine). The special Christmas rates take the Single Seater Experience down to £159 from £175, the Ferrari 360 Experience, to £199 from £255.
