Give them an experience they will never forget and get their adrenaline pumping with a trip to the Silverstone race track in Towcester, Northamptonshire to put a single seater racing car through its paces.
Formula Silverstone single seaters sit just inches from the ground, are incredibly responsive and have been expertly engineered to provide a genuine racing thrill. Going flat out around this purpose-built motor racing training facility (as used by the top F1 teams), the lucky recipient of this gift, can get a taste for what it's like to be a world Formula 1 champion.
First off they'll have a short briefing from a fully qualified instructor who will explain the racing lines and track driving techniques to get the most out of the drive experience.
Then they'll take the wheel of a single seater, which can go from 0 - 60mph in just five seconds, for a few laps driving behind a pace car.
Next they are let loose for ten more minutes to push their new found driving skills to the absolute limit - unpaced!
Where better to drive than the home of the British Grand Prix? But be warned, driving these cars can be addictive!
Even better, this Silverstone driving experience is available online for the special offer price of just £85 if you order before the end of October 2009 (normal price £99) full details
