Wacky Racers Driving Experience

Ride a bed...

Busy? Of course you’re not. You wouldn’t be gawping at a picture of a man driving a sofa if you had anything important to do. Which means you’re just the kind of bonkers numbskull who’ll love our Wacky Racers Driving Experience.

Despite the name, Dick Dastardly plays no part in this hilariously bizarre day out. It’s just you, an 87mph sofa, a pant-soilingly nippy office chair, a double-decker car and the world’s fastest street-legal bed. Mental? The whole thing is totally hatstand!

Wacky Racers Driving Experience

...a desk...

Bringing a whole new meaning to the term ‘fast worker’ your day begins with a blast around the racetrack strapped to a motorised desk and office chair. We’ll even provide you with a shirt and tie. Yes, really. ‘Honest boss, I was working.’

Next up, it’s time to take a seat on the celebrated leopard print sofa, a bum-clenchingly fast bit of furniture that needs to be seen to be disbelieved. In terms of surreal experiences this is right up there with orbiting Saturn in a brass sausage before going ice skating in a flannel volcano with a meringue cat.

Wacky Racers Driving Experience

...and of course a sofa!

Sofa, so good. But now it’s time to take the controls of the Double-Decker, a harebrained contraption in which the top driver steers and some mug down below controls the pedals. It’s like trying to pat your head and rub your tum whilst playing the glockenspiel with your feet. In other words, hilarious. 


Finally, after all that excitement, it’s time for bed: the world's fastest street-legal bed, to be precise. Tucked snugly under a duvet, you’ll be chauffeur-driven around the scenic British countryside before returning to the track.

A great gift for surrealist speed freaks, the Wacky Racers Driving Experience is guaranteed to amuse, confound and terrify in equal measure. You don’t even need a full driving licence to take part – and that, more than anything, just about says it all. Aargh!

Visitor Reviews...

visitor avatar I am trying to sort a 30th birthday surprise for my husband, and think this looks great, I only have one problem, I cant find out where about in Northamptonshire it is?
Alison, Milton Keynes - 7th February 2011
Firebox says: it takes place at the Oval Racetrack, hope this helps!
visitor avatar Which part of the country does the ride take place - let me guess London area!!
Caroline, Exeter, Devon - 1st February 2011
Firebox says: It's in Northamptonshire in the Midlands.
visitor avatar Is the experience on a closed racing circuit/track? Indoors/outdoors?
Laura White, - 17th January 2011
Firebox says: It's on an outdoor closed racetrack.
visitor avatar I have been looking for a driving experience for a friend and stumbled across this I thought I had hit the jackpot? But £99 to be a passenger? no thanks, not much fun when you want a real thrill. I think I will opt for something better. Makes you wonder if the mechanics are real basic too. Would be interested to see a review from someone who has actually been on it.
Tra, Herts - 19th November 2010
Firebox says: You are a passenger for some of the experience but you do get a chance to drive the bizarre double decker car. The wacky racing vehicles are of a high quality and made with the safety of its passengers in mind.
visitor avatar I'm looking to buy this for someone who is in their 20's unfortunately cannot drive due to being disabled but loves the thrill of a ride. Would the person chaperoning them be able to do the solo drive?
Bon, Essex - 15th November 2010
Firebox says: A fairly good level of fitness is required to get into and out of some of the contraptions. You're a passenger for most of the experience, but for the final section (the Double Decker), there isn't a seat for non-driving passengers! If you need more information, get in touch at info@firebox.com or on 0844 922 1010.
visitor avatar Do you get to drive it or does someone drive it for you?
Dan, Sheffield - 8th November 2010
Firebox says: During the experience you'll be a passenger in the world's fastest sofa, bed and office desk, after which you will then drive a bizarre double-decker car!
visitor avatar Is £99. 99 for one person or 6?
Louise, Gravesend - 3rd October 2010
Firebox says: It's £99 each.
visitor avatar Do u actually ride on these items or is it like a simulator ride?
Gina Butler, Swansea - 12th September 2010
Firebox says: You actually ride on them!
visitor avatar Is it for one person?
Hannah, Wiltshire - 6th July 2010
Firebox says: Yes, but a total of 6 people can ride at once so with vouchers you could ride as a group.
visitor avatar That's Valentines day sorted, I'm just going to tell him we're going to go at it really fast in bed....
