After a safety briefing, you'll be introduced to your earth-moving dumper truck for some training. The dumper is a hefty four-wheel drive, go-anywhere vehicle, weighing in at over a ton; despite its weight, you'll be surprised just how agile and nippy it is. You'll race your dumper around a pre-determined course, aiming to beat the other drivers and avoid penalties. Then the fastest drivers go head-to-head in the final for a goodie bag prize, including, of course, a baseball cap. Roll up your sleeves and beat the opposition. 31/03/2008 3:18:08 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Dumper_Truck_Racing.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Outdoor_Grand_Prix_Karting.jsp In these days of touchy-feely fairness, it's not often you get to unleash your competitive side. So try karting for an evening of fast and furiously competitive fun. This fantastic outdoor circuit is where a lot of top F1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, first got into racing before being lured away by the big bucks. You'll be behind the wheel of a Pro 390cc Kart, which reaches speeds of up to 113 km/h (and believe us, that will feel twice as fast in a kart). The group is split into lightweights and heavyweights - done to ensure a level playing field, as driver weight makes a big difference in these little machines. Start off with a video and safety briefing, followed by qualifying laps to get used to the karts and the 1,200m outdoor international circuit. Then let your competitive streak loose in three quick-fire race heats. The leading points scorers go on to take part in the grand final, followed by a trophy presentation for the top three drivers. 31/03/2008 3:18:17 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Outdoor_Grand_Prix_Karting.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Quad_Biking.jsp Quad biking is some of the best messiest fun you can have in the countryside. After a thorough safety briefing, you'll get kitted out in protective clothing and be introduced to your quad. To start off with, you'll be driving on level ground round a marked circuit while you get a feel for the quad. As you gain experience you'll be able to shift up a gear and soon you'll be power sliding round the turns like you were born on the bike. Then take off on a quad safari for a taste of what quad biking is really about, venturing across woodland tracks, through water pools and up and down steep slopes (subject to your driving ability) with your instructors keeping a close eye on you all the way. Your session will end with a debrief and the chance to get cleaned up. The bikes are usually Honda 250ESs - a utility machine with five forward gears operated by electric thumb shift - or Sportrax 90s - smaller, sports-tuned quads. 31/03/2008 3:18:03 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Quad_Biking.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/High-Speed_Passenger_Ride.jsp All the G-force, adrenaline and squint-eyed terror of competition-speed driving, without the worry of taking the wheel yourself. You'll be chauffeured for between two and six laps at breathless speed by a qualified motor racing instructor around a real racing circuit. The make of car will depend on which circuit you choose and availability; you could ride in an MGZR, Caterham, Lotus Elise or another type of hot hatch. Whichever it is on the day, you'll get the ride of your life: real racing lines, cornering and acceleration in top-class race-prepared cars. 31/03/2008 3:18:13 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/High-Speed_Passenger_Ride.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Mini_Cooper_High_Speed_Thrill.jsp Get behind the wheel of a race prepared Mini Cooper S and find out why these sporty little cars are loved by so many and your experience begins with a briefing from a qualified instructor who will talk you through racing lines, techniques and how to best handle the car out on the track. Then you will be driven around the circuit in a sports saloon for 12.87 kilometers of demonstration and familiarization laps, before putting the theory into practice by taking the driving seat of the Mini Cooper S yourself. You will drive the car for 10 kilometers and conclude your experience with a question and answer session and certificate presentation. 31/03/2008 3:18:21 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Mini_Cooper_High_Speed_Thrill.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Tour_Silverstone.jsp The world-renowned Silverstone Circuit has become synonymous with Formula 1 and here's your chance to experience this legendary venue first hand.

You'll start with a safety briefing and a discussion on the cause and cures of different kinds of skids. Then you'll use techniques that simulate loss of car control, with the vehicle seeming to get away from you. Skidpan driving focuses on both avoidance and recovery, and you'll learn the skills of driving on ice, aquaplaning and skid avoidance exercises with friendly and expert instructors, who'll always keep their head even if you're a bit spooked. Courses are held either on an oil-like surface or using a computerized skid frame (looks like stabilizers on your bike, only they're not very stabilizers). Some courses also include time trials to test your new skills. 31/03/2008 3:18:00 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Driving/Skidpan_Driving.jsp
