We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Please refer to our How To Find Us page on the Motor Circuit.

For Performance Track, Spin and Slide, Young Drivers Graduation Experience, Performance Hot Lap and Extreme Weather Driver, please proceed through the tunnel once entering the Motor Circuit. Turn left along a long tree lined road which will lead you to the Race Control Building where you will sign on. 

For Young Drivers Learners Experience, when entering the Motor Circuit, please turn right towards the Chicane Paddock and park behind the Ticket Office.  

Please arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to your slot time for all experiences with the exception of Performance Track where you will need to arrive at least 30 minutes before.

You will be welcomed with tea, coffee and biscuits and there will be a short safety briefing with our instructors.

There are reserved parking bays directly outside the Race Control building for Ultimate Driving customers. For Young Drivers Learner experience customers, please park behind the Ticket Office.

It is very unusual for us to have to cancel driving experiences due to weather. Should there be particularly adverse weather forecast (such as snow) we will contact you ahead of the date and arrange for you to come on an alternative day. If the weather is very bad on the day, and you would like to double check that we are running the experiences as scheduled please call 01243 755055.

Unfortunately you will not be refunded if you assume the day is not running as we run in virtually all weather. 

Don't worry, the vehicles are covered by comprehensive accident insurance but this will not apply if you drive recklessly, dangerously or if you cause damage to yourself or anyone else.

All Ultimate Driving experiences are for one person only (Performance Track, Performance Hot Lap, Spin & Slide, Young Driver Learner and Young Driver Graduate). 

There is no minimum age for Young Driver, however you must be taller than 1.5 metres.

This isn't a problem as long as you bring ID with you. 

All Ultimate Driving experiences are non-refundable after 48 hours, including slot bookings. Should you need to amend the dates, amendment charges apply.
