What Can I Expect

This is the junior MX5 driver experience at the London Motor Circuit in Hertfordshire! Specially aimed at youngsters from the age of 11 to 16 years, your little darlings will have their first taste of driving at the wheel of a funky little Mazda MX-5 on these one, two and three-hour lessons. How cool is that?

Naturally, the kids booking in for this course won't have a driving licence - but that's the whole point. These drives are specifically designed to be a fun and educational way of giving teens a head start in the world of motoring. And with the MX-5 being dual controlled, your miniature petrol heads will be in safety at all times.

A professional instructor will be hosting the session and they'll be sitting up front ready to intervene on the controls when necessary.

All experiences start off with getting to grips with the basic moves of driving. That includes steering the car and braking, clutch control and then moving off, to being aware of what the road ahead could hold.

If the youngsters really get the hang of it, they might start doing some more advanced manoeuvres and reach speeds of around 40mph (and if you remember what it was like the first time you got into fourth gear, you'll know that feels like warp speed!).

These sessions are available on regular Saturdays and some Sundays throughout the year, so get your teen locked in and ready for their junior MX5 driver experience at the London Motor Circuit at Bovingdon!
