Hilton offering a McLaren track day at Dunsfold for Hilton Honors points

If you are keen on fast cars, Hilton Honors and McLaren have got together to organise an exceptional track day.

This is what you get:

Get ready for the ultimate McLaren Track Day experience at Dunsfold Circuit! You and your guest will have the opportunity to drive both a McLaren 570S and 720S alongside professionally qualified driving coaches. Your day will finish with a ‘hot lap’ where the driving coach will take to the wheel and show you how to maximise the cars performance around the track.

Dunsfold Aerodome is a circuit designed to give a mixture of low and high-speed corners as well as a series of straights that will allow you to enjoy the McLaren road cars. This is also the “test track” of the BBC show Top Gear.

When: Thursday, October 25, 2018
Where: Dunsfold Circuit | Surrey, UK

If you know anything about performance cars you’ll know what an opportunity this is.  If you don’t, it’s not for you anyway.

At 275,000 Hilton Honors points, it isn’t cheap but it would be a great day out.

There are three packages available at the time of writing.  You can redeem here.
