Overview
This is your chance to race the ultimate Big Boys Dodgems cars! This is real motor racing in fantastic Saloon Stockcars, accompanied by live commentators and trophies for the winners.
On arrival you will be greeted with light refreshments and issued with your racing overalls. Next you will be briefed on the session's events by the Race Steward. Now it's onto the main event - the opportunity to drive a real 1200cc Saloon Stockcar around this Championship track. Your driving experience will begin with one practice session of three laps, followed by two race heats, each consisting of 8 laps. Based on the points you have scored in the heats, the steward of the meeting will stream competitors into their Championship Final group - an electrifying 8 lap race that will pit you against drivers of similar ability.

Motor Racing Live, BirminghamJosh from IT, September 2018

I have been looking at this experience for a very long time and I finally was able to participate in this exciting experience. Upon arriving at Birmingham Wheels Raceway, we were greeted by a gentleman who asked me for my name and asked me to pay the £5 admission fee for my spectator, following this we were given a small booklet with my name printed in it along with the other participants. After parking up, being careful of the gravel slope, I went over to get changed into my racing gear and shortly after I was called in to be briefed. In the briefing they went in to a lot of detail regarding what would be happening throughout the day and what is expected of us regarding the rules and safety of yourself and the other drivers, this put everyone at ease due to it being very relaxed and they had a great way of simplifying these for all levels of drivers. After the safety briefing and being shown how to ‘buckle up’ we were put into groups and called over to get our helmets and get into the cars accordingly. My group was finally called up and we were given a Balaclava and a race helmet, one big enough for my head, and we waited patiently whilst the group before we battled it out on the oval track. Once walking over to the cars, we were briefed how to enter and exit the cars safely and to await one of the Staff members to strap us in and make sure we were comfortable and safe. Following on from that we were then told to start our engines and follow the pace car in order and once the pace car had set off we can start to battle it out. The race itself was brilliant, it kept me on edge the whole time and time flew past! Something which added to the excitement is watching your competitors spin out and the commentator going on about how well you are doing or that someone is coming up behind you. After all of the racing is finished you are finally debriefed and given certificates and the winners receive a Trophy. I really enjoyed my time there and they couldn’t have done anything better and the safety over at the Birmingham Wheels Raceway was clearly of the utmost importance to them as no one was injured and they made it very clear all of the time. The experience was highly authentic and I will be doing this again.

I brought this for my family of 5 who are all petrol heads & it didn't disappoint. From the minute we arrived we were looked after & plenty of refreshments available. The group races were adrenalin filled & good fun to watch with everyone getting competitive. The finals were excellent with winners receiving trophies & invites back in November. Overall probably one of the best driving experiences we have taken part in with a big thanks to the staff at Birmingham raceway for making it that. Would fully recommend this to everyone.

I had an amazing time on my Stock car experience! The venue was very good and the safety precautions and rules were made very clear. Everyone had a good time and it wasn't too serious which is good to see!

Bought this as a gift last Christmas for my son. You are supplied with helmet and boiler suit as standard. Just wear trainers and maybe a change of clothes (adverse weather conditions) as NOTHING stops the races. You're briefed on safety, the cars etc and split into groups and then it's race time. My son loved it. There were a few pro's out there who do this as a regular thing which was exciting to watch, all vying for first place. There are different heats and everyone races in the final, going on their ability in the previous heats. It's just good fun. The overall winner gets a trophy but everyone gets a certificate and a program with your name in it. A very lively atmosphere and unlimited tea and coffee too for all.

The extreme dodgems event was professionally organised, safety given the highest priority throughout (by the organisers, definitely not by the competitors! :) ). Everyone attending got a chance to drive many laps meaning all left feeling that we’d got really good value for money which was really nice as some of these experience days can leave you feeling as if you've just been mugged. The racing itself was just awesome fun. Strangely after each race I had more or less zero memory of what had just happened, that is a measure of the amount of adrenalin that gets released! Fortunately my lovely partner captured the whole lot on video so I’ve since watched the action over and over. As a side note, she also says that she thoroughly enjoyed it as a spectator too. In summary, this was a fabulous day that I would strongly recommend to anyone with even a hint of petrol in their veins, simply brilliant!
