Driving experience: everything you need to know to become an ace behind the wheel

A driving experience is a great activity to offer as a gift to a loved one who loves motor sports. Funbooker has compiled a list of the best driving experiences in France on the most beautiful circuits.

What is a driving experience?

A driving experience consists in driving beautiful sports cars on a racetrack. Accompanied by a qualified instructor, who will give you driving tips after the briefing, you'll take the wheel for a driving experience.

Generally, you choose the number of laps you'd like to drive around the track in the car of your choice. Alternatively, you can ride as a passenger and complete a series of laps with an experienced instructor. You'll discover speed sensations normally unknown to you, in complete safety.

The different types of driving experience

There are different types of driving experience, depending on what you're looking for:

• Driving experience on a racetrack: you get behind the wheel of a beautiful sports car and complete a series of laps around the track. Some courses are adapted for children, especially on Smart cars. Rally driving experience: on a rally track, you drive a Subaru-type car.
