The Activites
You will experience a range of the world’s Wackiest motor vehicles

The World’s Fastest Furniture
TV's Edd China will take you on a trip to remember in his iconic leopard-skin print 87mph Sofa – the machine that started the madness. It has appeared on Top Gear, in a pop video, in TV adverts and recently driving Arthur Smith around Edinburgh on The Culture Show, and now you will have place of honour in the coolest machine on the road. Three ultra-hip laps on the Oval raceway.

Image

The Fast Asleep Bed Tour
Head out onto public roads, safely tucked up under your duvet. The ultimate buzzzzzzzz! Your chauffeur will drive you through lovely British countryside and will return you thoroughly relaxed. Nightcaps and hot water bottles provided! A five mile adventure on country roads.

Image
The Double Decker Cruise
Get behind the wheel, in the Double Decker car, as seen on Top Gear. Forget Buses, imagine two cars, one on the roof of the other! Driver in the top car controls the steering, driver in the bottom car controls the pedals – totally barking and fantastic fun. On our ½ mile Test Challenge Track.

The World’s Hottest Desk
Jackets and ties provided as you head off for a chauffeured trip, in a fully-equipped office, around the super-fast raceway! Securely strapped in to your office chair you’ll have full use of the computers, conference table and water-cooler! Three breathtaking laps on the championship Oval Raceway.

Every single one of those photos makes me laugh!!  If I was over there, it would be a no brainer -- just hard to choose which one.  Probably the double-decker because that's just awesome, but taking one of those back seats on the office desk looks like it might be kinda thrilling, depending on the speed.

Love Edd China -- he was great on "Wheeler Dealers"!

As I suspect you may have guessed I am all over this (as the kids say these days).  It can only be fantastic after my last driving experience a few weeks ago when I paid for a pax lap in a NASCAR, what a let down.

Very nearly... Maybe I missed it, I couldn't find any dates on the site.  Were this to line up with Atom X... hmmm, could be interesting.

OK...

The next one is on July 24th, but I'm looking to see if we can get something closer to AtomX. July 24th is a Saturday, so I guess quite a few of you could make it (I can't - I'll be in Z - bugger). And they allow spectators at a tenner each so you could bring the family:

Spectators
Spectator admission is £10 and includes light refreshments, a souvenir programme and a VIP goodie bag. There are covered and heated areas to watch from and the day is enjoyable for family and friend of participants!
