It seems almost by the day there are more and more Britons getting into driving tours. We get enquiries about driving tours of Scotland (our Highlands tour), driving tours of Italy (our Alpine Tour which Takes in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France and Austria), and other UK organised driving tours and driving experiences based from the UK.

Of course, this is great for us as we continue to tour Europe, and soon the USA, and discover ever more fabulous driving roads, view points and attractions for petrolheads and travelling enthusiasts alike.

With our Driving Tours of Italy, we make sure to visit the stunning area of Lake Como, Milan and of course the northern areas in and around the Stelvio Pass and other, lesser known mountain and lakeside pass autoroutes.

And thats the wonderful thing about our driving tours of Italy, there is good mileage to cover but it is all broken up by stunning scenery, amazing weather (not guaranteed but don't blame us if it rains!) and breathaking view points and coastal routes.

With our Driving tours of Scotland, you get a more focussed driving experience, the roads and often the weather making this one of our most road focussed UK driving experiences. Thats not to say we don't stop to take in the incredible scenery driving trips of Scotland have to offer, but the roads are different from our driving trips of Italy to the point where they often, and understandably so, become the focus of attention for attendees of our organised driving trips.

With open roads and vast visibility, the routes we take on our driving trips of Scotland bring challenging, tight bends, long, flowing and undulating straights, some roads that require quick directional changes and for a break some seriously serene riverside driving.

Whilst we are still huge fans and frequent visitors of the Nurburgring, and we hope to keep it that way by taking various groups and stag parties on organised Nurburgring events from the UK, we have noticed that to stay ahead of the game in this fast growing UK driving experiences industry you must regularly look to change your routes, destinations and driving experience offers.

It is with this in mind that we begun offering the Brands Hatch Drifting experience this month, which is already proving to be popular, with 65 attendees at our launch last week. With 3 prepared NIssan 350Z drift cars and 3 top class instructors, come to our Drifting Academy School where you will learn the art of going sideways in a safe and secure manner. You will leave a better driver, I promise you that.

Please feel free to get in touch with me regarding any of our organised driving tours of Scotland, Driving Tours of Italy or any other road/racing experiences.
