Sure amongst modern day supercars the Caterham certainly looks a lot different. The round bug-style headlights perched above the front axle the curved wheel arches the exposed exhaust running along the bottom of the doors... ...

If you've ever wondered what a Caterham 7 driving experience is like let us enlighten you on this legendary car before you decide whether or not to take it for a spin at a circuit of your choosing near you. Yes it has what can only be described as retro looks but that's because the design is decades old. But boy is it a good one. Thanks to a Mr Colin Chapman his design won many a motor race. & yes it does only have 150bhp which is about the same as a decent SUV on the roads today. But there's one very very significant difference. The weight. & that's what makes the experience of driving a Caterham 7 what it is
- utterly thrilling. It's all about function over form with the Caterham 7. Forget your modern driving experience gubbins like ABS traction control air conditioning & even central locking this car is stripped down to the bar minimum. Even the seat belts are harnesses rather than inertia type to save weight. All this is why it feels almost exoskeletal with the exh...

It was purpose-built by Virtual Aerospace the UK's largest simulated flight company & offers a very realistic insight into flying one of these four seater touring aircraft. The 172 is pretty much a seminal plane from Cessna with the basic high-wing single engine design remaining unchanged for many years.

In both cases it'll give you enough time to get a proper feel of what piloting a 172 is like. & of course because it's simulated flying it means you are going to be handling take off & a landing yourself.

- & all without the expense & hassle of refuelling hangarage fees maintenance & all the rest of it. Perfect for armchair aviators! The first thing we must point out is that these Skyhawk flight sims are way more realistic than any computer game you might have tried.

All the levels & gauges are there too & with top-notch graphics you'll have trouble working out what's real & what isn't.

He's also the one who'll be mentoring you during your Cessna sim session. This 172 sim actually shares a home with a rather impressive F16 jet simulator & whilst military fighting aircraft might be filled with big thrills & spills the Skyhawk is full of charm & pluckiness that makes this sim a delight to fly. You'll be pretty amazed by the graphics too. It's about as picturesque as you can get & utterly immersive. & the whole thing is so advanced that the flight sim options for would-be pilots are pretty endless. That means you can fly where you fancy land where you've always wanted to & take off in all weather conditions. & for those who think that piloting a Cessna on a maiden voyage is going to be too tricky & you'll never get off the ground
- fear not. If you get left & right up & down sorted you can have fun in the air. Of course a smooth landing right on the centre line of the runway would be nice as would some stylish sweeping turns around the Empire State Building but if it does go wrong in the 172 cockpit you can just press the re-set button & you're back on! We are offering 30 60 90 & 120 minute Cessna Skyhawk simulator sessions at this friendly centre in Yorkshire. There's a comfy briefing lounge too so you can invite friends & family to watch your progress.
