Adult and Child Karting
In these days of touchy-feely fairness, it's not often you get to unleash your ruthless side. Give the kids a rare opportunity to beat their parents at something (you know who you are, competitive mums and dads!) during an evening of fast and furious karting. It's how a lot of top F1 drivers (including Jenson Button) first got into racing before they were lured away by the big bucks. The experience begins with a full safety briefing followed by a 15 minute practice session. After a break to get your breath back, you'll hit the track for another 15 minute driving session. A lap time report at the end tells you how well you've both driven and who has ended up with the highest overall score. In the spirit of good family relations, you can show there are no hard feelings by joining in a rousing chorus of 'We Are The Champions' on the way home!

Flotation Tank for Two
We know that spending an hour in a tank of water might sound at first like a David Blaine-style stunt - but in fact this experience is about total relaxation. Each of you will enter your own quiet, darkened room and lie in a tank in a warm solution of Epsom salts, about 10 inches deep and so dense that you'll float effortlessly (no need to be able to swim!). Epsom salts are made from naturally occurring minerals and have long been renowned for their health and beauty benefits, including easing stress and soothing muscles. Gentle music will play to help you wind down, and you'll drift into a near-meditative state of complete calm. Afterwards you can take a refreshing shower before returning to the outside world feeling utterly chilled out.

F1 Driving Experience
There's fast, there's furious, and then there's Formula 1 - a whole other league of speed. You'll start off with a briefing and demo laps in a hot hatch or sports saloon. Then get behind the wheel and drive up to 17 laps of a single seater Formula Ford at Racing School venues, or five laps in a Porsche 911 or Ferrari at Mallory Park in Leicestershire. Then it's on to the main event - blow your mind with eight laps in a Tyrell at Mallory Park, or ten laps in a Forti-Corse or 1994 Arrows FA14 at other circuits. All these cars are ex-Formula 1: they might have retired from racing but they're guaranteed to give you an unforgettable driving experience. A few laps in these beauties will redefine your notion of speed, road holding and handling, and give you an adrenaline rush you can't imagine! At Mallory Park you'll also get to drive ten laps in an F3-style single-seater. Lunch, memorabilia and an F1 certificate are included, plus dinner and overnight accommodation for two.

Ferrari Experience for Two
Once you've driven a Ferrari, no other car comes close. Experience the phenomenal acceleration, braking and handling of Maranello's breathtaking beauties. You'll kick off with a briefing and then your instructor will drive you on some training laps in a hot hatch to learn the racing lines and see circuit driving techniques in action. What you do next depends on the venue: Donington Park or Three Sisters Circuit drive seven miles in a Ferrari 360 followed by eight miles in a hot hatch and finish with eight miles in a single-seater racing car (23 miles). At Prestwold Hall drive four laps each in a Ferrari 550 and F360 Spider (16.2 miles). At Thruxton or Croft drive three laps in a Porsche Cayman, four laps in a Ferrari 355 plus five laps in a single-seater (28.8 miles). At Rockingham drive an F360 for six miles on track and a single-seater for another 25 miles. Finish with a high-speed passenger ride at some venues.
