          Details

          Kendrew Barracks, formerly known as RAF Cottesmore, has a rich history dating back to 1938 when it first became an operational Royal Air Force base. Its expansive runway played a significant role in aviation history, hosting the final flight of the iconic Harrier Jump Jet. Between 1943 and 1945, it also served as a base for the United States Air Force.

          The was named in honour of Major General Sir Douglas Kendrew, a former pupil at Uppingham School who served in the Royal Leicestershire Regiment. Major General Kendrew was one of only 11 officers in the Army to be awarded the Distinguished Service Order, known as the DSO, four times. The order is awarded for highly successful command and leadership during active operations.

          Following its formal closing ceremony in 2012, Kendrew Barracks transitioned to its current role as a satellite facility for RAF Wittering, located in Peterborough. Today, it is home to the British Army’s East of England Multi-Role Brigade.

          With it’s very long runway Kendrew Barracks is one of our most coveted venues to drive in the UK.

                Collision Damage Waiver for 1 Drive

                One of our most Popular products available for obvious reasons!! Buying this waiver gives you full peace of mind that you can relax and fully enjoy your drive knowing you won’t be picking up the bill if anything goes wrong..

                Supercars are super amazing but can be super expensive to fix should anything get damaged. This collision damage waiver transfers the liability of the £5000 excess from the customer driving to ourselves so should anything go wrong on the day there will be no unpleasant expensive surprises.

                Collision Damage Waiver for 1 Drive

                In-Car Filming 1 Car

                The ideal way to capture your memories - When you show & share this with your family & friends, it will be as if they are in the car with you !!

                Similar to how you may have seen on Top Gear, you are filmed live with audio throughout your drives with cameras facing both the driver and the track recording your reactions as you accelerate and hit those top speeds

                There are also bonus features that can record the following; GPS showing position on track F1 style, G-force showing the power of the acceleration, and the all-important bragging rights of the speedometer and the footage is saved to an SD Card for your convenience.

                No words can describe how fantastic it is to look back on driving your first Ferrari or to see your Dad’s face when he finally gets to drive the car of his dreams.. worth every penny…

                In-Car Filming 1 Car

                Demo Lap/s

                Also one of our most popular products available and strongly recommended !!

                Driving a supercar at high speeds in track conditions is a phenomenal experience and one where every moment should be savoured – don’t waste it by learning the track whilst out on your drive!

                These demonstration laps are done before you get to go out in your chosen supercar – one of our professional race instructors will take you round the circuit and show you the driving line so that you can get the most out of your own drive. They will show you the chicanes, the acceleration zones, the braking points, where and how to take the corners and everything else you will need to be familiar with on the circuit..  

                The more confident you are with the circuit, the more confident you will be handling your supercar and the better your drive will be – take advantage and book your demo laps in now for this reduced price as they are more expensive on the day..
