The only place you can drive this McLaren GT3
- the London Circuit in Hertfordshire ...

Drive a top notch McLaren around a race track! Although this amazing machine is a fully road-legal sports car we think the McLaren MP4-12C thrives when being driven around the tight hairpins & along the fast straights of a race circuit
- & this is just what you will be doing. This stunning British roadster is lovingly hand built at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking. The racing car maker is a Grand Prix legend whose team of engineers & designers are behind many of the most success Formula 1 winners. Drawing on 50 years of racing victories they have also created the most iconic & exhilarating road cars in the world. The McLaren borrows lots of gadgetry & wizardry from Formula 1 design
- it has a twin turbo 3.8 litre V8 engine that gives a mighty 592bhp & 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds. The dual clutch gearbox is controlled by a gear change paddle perfectly positioned on the racing wheel so you can whizz up through the gears to get the full force of that breathtaking acceleration. Combine all that with a lightweight carbon fibre composite chassis & you've got yourself one serious sporting legend that you will have the chance to experience first hand when you drive this car. Before you head out for your driving laps in the McLaren you'll have an in-car driving briefing in a hot hatch with an expert instructor of high-speed driving & then it's over to you... As a driver this is about as close as you can get to the proper F1 racing experience while still driving a road car. It may not be the most luxurious sports car in the world
- but it's one of the ultimate road cars for speed performance & race-inspired design. & of course you don't have to be Jenson Button to appreciate the McLaren's functional & clean design & the sense of perfect control.

Choose between Medieval & modern on these target combat combo experiences for two! Let your inner Viking out with a roar on the Medieval sessions covering archery crossbow & axes or go modern with rifles. Whichever weapons you favour it’s all about getting your shots on target.

Basecamp for this trio of combat shooting combo experiences is a farm estate in Cheshire. Conveniently located right next to the M56 its just a 30-minute drive from major cities like Manchester Chester & Liverpool to the wilds of this target combat ground.

If you get a sense of military precision about the whole affair that’s because all the shoot instructors are either active or ex-military. Shooting activities are a bit of a speciality here with several of the crew having been shooting instructors in the Army. They’re super keen to get you on target with your shots so there are no gimmicks. It’s all about learning good basic techniques that’ll ensure you progress to be a calm collected & accurate shooter.

So if you fancy a bit of Medieval-style combat choose between the axes & crossbow session or the archery & crossbow version. Archery is really enjoyable & pretty easy to pick up whilst crossbows are a little more tricky to get to grips with. As for axes…who wouldn’t enjoy lobbing an axe to land with a satisfying thud into a huge chunk of wood?

On the Modern side of things we are talking guns. You’ll be shown how to fire air rifles either on the outdoor or the covered range in the case of inclement weather. You start at a relatively modest 15m from the targets & then progress to being 30m away from the knock downs you’ll be aiming at. Then there’s the specific 15m covered ‘hideout’ shooting range which is really good fun for honing your hand pistol skills. & of course you’ve got the axes to try as well.

We think you’ll love these target combat combos. The teaching from the ex-Military team here is second to none & there’s a warm & friendly welcome too. Time to book your combat shoot session & see if you’re a bit of a hotshot!
