Porsche Driving Experiences - Buyer's Guide
Driving a Porsche is but a dream for many, but thanks to our wide range of Porsche Driving Experiences, you can get behind the wheel of one of these amazing machines to experience life in the fast lane and find out what it is like to drive one of the most prestigious and sought after cars in the world.
Take a spin in one of the latest, newest Porsches, driving it around exhilarating bends and across miles of smooth track, or take the wheel of classic Porches, as well as other super cars that only the privileged few usually get to drive. Regardless of the type of Porsche Driving Experience you’re after, you'll find a massive range at Experience Mad and there is an experience to suit everyone.
Porsche Thrills, Tasters and Multi Car Experiences
There is an Experience day available for everyone, taking into account tastes, time and budget, and regardless of what you want from your experience, you'll find one that suits you down the ground. The sessions range from exciting taster experiences which are perfect for those that simply want to dip their toe into the Porsche driving pool, to more extended driving sessions and experiences involving other supercars for those that want to splash out and spoil themselves for hours on end.
So what does a Porsche Driving experience involve?
Porsche Driving Experiences vary when it comes to itineraries, but typically include:
- Briefing
All Porsche Driving Experiences start with a little introduction where you'll get introduced to the cars available and briefed on the workings of the experience.
- Familiarisation / Practice Laps
Once you have been introduced to your Porsche (or chosen another car if your experience gives you this choice), you will enjoy a few “familiarisation laps” with an instructor. This helps you get used to the track before you take to the wheel yourself!
- Take it for a Spin!
Then comes the best part – you'll get to take the little beauty for a spin and enjoy the wind through your hair, the adrenaline pumping excitement through your veins and handling the pure speed of one of the most amazing vehicles in motor history.
- Certificate Presentation
As the day closes, most Porsche Driving Experience days treat all participants to a presentation where certificates are given out as a memento of the day.
Porsche Driving Experience Days range from an hour to five hours long.
Verdict of Porsche Driving Experiences:
Every Porsche Driving Experience day is packed with activity, and there is one for everyone. Taster Experiences treat you to approximately six miles of pure Porsche driving in between briefings and instructional laps which are just as interesting. Half and full day packages give you a lot more time behind the wheel and give you the opportunity to drive a supercar- some even allowing enough time to drive multiple supercars. Whether you want to enjoy a few miles driving a Porsche, or want to spoil yourself for choice and drive a number of them all in one day, then you'll undoubtedly lap up every minute of Porsche’s driving experiences.
Which cars are best to choose when going on Porsche Driving Experiences?
Depending on which experience day you have chosen, you may be offered a whole range of cars to choose from. On some days, and depending on the level of your package, you are able to choose a selection of up to five different cars to take round your chosen circuit. ExperienceMad offer an amazing range of motors for you to choose from, so regardless of your dream car, you're bound to find it in the lavish line up available.
Some of the biggest names in the world of Supercars are available in our Porsche Driving Experiences, but when it comes to Porsches themselves, there is a wide selection from which to choose. From the two door beauty, the Porsche 911 which dates all the way back to the 60’s, the Porsche 911 Turbo and the multi award winning Porsche Cayman to the stunning Porsche 997 Turbo in which Jeremy Clarkson managed to rack up an amazing 200mph. Also on the list is the sporty GT3 which is driven by professional race car drivers everywhere, the amazingly powerful racer the 911 JP3 and an ultimate Porsche classic that has been roaming the roads for decades: the stunning Porsche 911 RS.
Some of the Porsche experiences invite you to drive other supercars outside of the Porsche range, some classic cars, and some more modern favourites. If you're a classics fan, you'll get to choose from the Ferrari 308QV, a vintage Jaguar E Type, and car absolutely everyone would love a spin in- the Aston Martin DB4. Experience participants may also cruise around in a classic Lotus Cortina, an AC Cobra, the stunning Carrera, Chevrolet Corvette and even the classic and somewhat nostalgic F2000 single seater race car.
For those that want to feel like a millionaire for the day, there is the option to drive multiple supercars in certain experience days. Available models vary, however expect to see Ferraris like the 360/430/599 models, the Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago LP640. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage/DB9/DBS, the compact Audi R8, the classic Ariel Atom, the Lotus Elise and even the Nissan GTR are also frequently available.
No other experience grants you the option to drive some of the biggest and best cars in the industry, and vehicles that you could only otherwise dream of!
What about location?
Porsche Experience days are offered at destinations all over the UK. The avid motor racing fan will be delighted to hear that many are run at prestigious tracks such as Goodwood and Silverstone.
Overall Verdict:

The package also acts as a great form of celebration, a prelude for a stag night, or birthday bash. Whatever your reasons are for buying a Porsche experience, just know that whichever one you choose will leave you with a long lasting memory of a unique, once in a life-time session that usually only the world's richest are able to enjoy.
