The "Millbrook Experience" is one of our most popular high performance driving courses.  It allows owners of performance and super cars (or any car!!) some freedom to drive and enjoy the vehicle at its best. Spending 2 full hours driving at Millbrook Proving Ground, which is set in over 700 acres of the Bedfordshire countryside and the home of 5th Gear, it is a fantastic venue that will set your pulse racing! The many different driving areas test different aspects of a drivers skill and ability and allow our instructors to work on teaching and perfecting your skills in a controlled and safe driving environment that can take you to new heights of driving excellence, skill and overall ability.

A high performance vehicle these days is a specialist and increasingly complex piece of machinery. The product of extensive testing, often to the limit and sometimes beyond when in the hands of some of the worlds top test drivers. During the course you can experience some of the tests and test areas that are used to develop modern vehicles. At the same time you can learn about how your vehicles technology works and what it can and can't do, aswell as what you can do and maybe can't do? when driving it.

At all times you will be accompanied by a highly qualified and experienced driving consultant who will be your host for the duration of the course, you will be guided not only around this immense Bedfordshire facility but also taught how to gain the best from your vehicle, aswell as being introduced to the best driving skills and practices.
