British automaker Jaguar Land Rover is launching the Jaguar Heritage Driving Experience for consumers to test-drive several sports car from the brand.

In November, a 200 acre testing facility will open for consumers to drive vehicles from Jaguar’s racing history. The unique opportunity to get behind the wheel of these storied cars will create a strong bond between participants and Jaguar.

Vroom, vroom

Vehicles such as the Le Mans Jaguar D-Type, E-Type and F-Type R Coupe will be available for guests to test. This will be the first time many of these vehicles are driven by the public.

There are several experience packages consumers can choose from. The lowest priced package includes sitting in the passenger seat of several drives and driving the modern counterparts to the heritage cars.

The Le Mans Experience allows guests to drive the C- and D-types and drives in the XKSS and F-Type R Coupe.
