I was gifted a Triple Supercar Driving Experience and High Speed Passenger Ride for my birthday and decided to cash it in at summer when the chances of the track being dry and nice weather in the U.K. are at their highest.
I chose the Three Sisters Circuit in Wigan and was presented with various choices of car to drive in advance, including the Aston Martin DB9, the Audi R8 V8, BMW i8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, Porsche 911 Carrera and Nissan GTR.
I opted for the Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 Carrera and Nissan GTR and was informed the high speed passenger ride would be in a BMW M140i.
The weather was great and I had the pleasure of some of my family joining to watch and spectate on the embankment. They also very kindly captured the photos of me and racetrack view content below.

Lamborghini Gallardo
First drive was in the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. So low, wide and flat to the floor and really sticks to the track with the 4WD, so nice to drive.
In the last image is my first instructor. Whilst driving I said he had an interesting job and he responded saying he kept getting asked to do these and has been doing them for 44 years now! He said he had a career as a Motorsport test driver and joked he was lucky to still be here at his age. Funny guy.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Second drive was in the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Really smooth and nice to drive.
Semi-automatic gears are the little silver + and – buttons on the steering wheel rather than paddles, different, haven’t encountered that before in a car.
The second driving instructor who guided me in the Porsche was really nice too, said he was a McLaren GT3 driver, and got to drive a McLaren 720S full carbon with carbon spoiler when racing. Pretty cool.
Nissan GTR
Third drive was in the Nissan GTR, with over 600bhp and an absolute monster. Sounded so good on the downshifts and upshifts, so powerful. I asked the instructor if it was stock, he said it wasn’t, mentioning it had been de-catted and re-mapped. The Nissan GTR was my favourite car I drove on the day, though each car was unique, fun and incredible to drive on the track.
The alcantara steering wheel with centre marker was great for grip when reaching for the paddles behind the wheel and a really cool feature. Uniquely, the paddles didn’t move with the wheel and stayed on the steering column.
The video below is me in the blue Nissan GTR, overtaking the red Ferrari 458 and then accelerating into the straight. The GTR exhaust sounded so good, the brutal, rapid, instant power from the twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6. So much fun!

Business Insider article that I wrote
Back in 2019, the New York freelance editor of Business Insider emailed me, asking to write a piece for them about vintage cars that are good investments.
