DB9 Aston Martin | Cars
Aston Martin, the epitome of British Luxury and the classiest-looking car on the road for the best part of 60 years.
It is the Grand Tourer of Grand Tourers and James Bond's choice of vehicle to boot! Get behind the wheel of our silver Aston Martin, just like the on-screen legend in all of those famous car chases!
The Aston Martin DB9 was the flagship V12 and it was a total powerhouse, with such a beautiful sounding note from the exhaust system. For me, I would buy one just to have on the driveway to look at every day, because it is a thing of utter beauty. The Aston Martin DB9 is simply ticking all of our boxes: handling, performance, and luxury. Rather than driving around in a Porsche 911 and people wanting to hurt you, if you're seen in a DB9, people want to actually be you! Treat yourself to this masterpiece.

Two of us went to Blyton park for a James Bond car driving experience. We have been before so knew what to expect, but were then shocked when asked to remove our right shoe on any car we drove! I have never driven a car without shoes and have no wish to. If this had been in the instructions on the day, I would have cancelled. That apart, we arrived at 11:15 for the 11:30 start of filling in forms, but we had pre-filled in ours before arriving so went straight to the waiting area to be called for a drive. Then it started to rain and there is no cover at all, just your raincoat, as you have to wait in earshot of the microphone that is used to call you by name. The system is very poor, when they say allow 3 hours for 3 x 10 minute drives, they are not far off. When eventually called, the first instructor obviously did not want to be there, he never introduced himself, or shook hands and just muttered take your right shoe off before getting in the car. Getting into and out of some of the very low cramped cars was not easy and it meant you had to put your right shoeless foot onto the wet floor, great! Our total experience time was much better than many, but it was still 2pm before we finished. I did give feedback on the day and they did offer me all of my photo's which I declined and also an Aerial atom fast lap by an experienced driver. By this time I just wanted to go home, so declined that as well. But I did register my total bewilderment as why anyone would introduce a no shoe policy on the right foot. I was told it was due to an accident where someone pressed the brake and caught the accelerator at the same time. I did go prepared in thin plimsol type shoes as it did say in their instructions for the day to wear sensible slim shoes for driving, but no mention of barefoot driving. They need to make this clear to everyone if they are to continue to have this policy, but it will lose them many customers.
Stephen BaskcombGreat day out! Alex was super helpful when booking on the phone. Track organisation was good and didn’t have to wait long for my cars. Would definitely recommend.
Sarah HaywoodJust had a fantastic day with carchaseheroes at Tibenham, Norfolk, had the pleasure of driving 3 very different cars but the best bit was the fast lap in the atom, the staff were fantastic, very well organised, would definitely recommend.
Tara HudsonAlthough General lee broke down they supplied us with another car of our choice.
Stephen BohanKurtis made the experience awesome,allowed me to get alot of the car. A real drivers car,excellent day out and all the team are so friendly and helpful
David KnowlesFantastic! The event was superbly run and I drove 2 cars and there was very minimal wait despite being extremely busy. The photo selection was also a well run experience to view and select. I did elect to increase my laps amount and was glad I did as 2 laps would have been over too quickly!
AnthonyThe weather at Elvington was not being kind to us last weekend for my son's belated birthday present. He is autistic and has no driving license obviously so we picked three non-license cars with dual controls and automatic gearboxes for him. Unfortunately a couple of his cars had broken down on the day - likely due to the weather! However the CCH Team could not have been more helpful in swapping cars for him. As for the instructors though they were absolutely brilliant with him & I cannot thank them enough for giving him a fantastic day's driving! They were incredibly understanding & patient with him & let him drive three great cars. He was buzzing about it all the way home & still is now! Hence the CCH team - and especially instructors - are completely & thoroughly recommended and my son is already saving up for - and planning - the next cars he wants to drive! The wife also hasn't stopped shaking yet from her high speed ride in the Aerial Atom!!!! As Arnie famously said of sorts - We'll be back!!!!
Nick FellThe day was better organised than we were expecting. Everything was very easy on the day considering the lengthy T&Cs; we had to read! The instructors were great with my son, he enjoyed the day very much. It was a nice touch to add the comments and a score, he felt very proud. We were also impressed with the media package available. Considering all the pricey add ons we had, we were grateful that this was affordable to remember such a special experience. However there were some let downs of the day; We had to wait over 30mins for our media package to be available. We had a trainee Gareth (who was an absolute hoot and made the waiting less painful!) but he was pretty much left to it and not supported by the other members in the media van. The other younger members were sitting around vaping in the van (which I don’t find professional or safe - they should not be doing it in front of customers or indoors) instead of helping him. He was asking for help but it took them a while to respond to him. Our waiting time would have been halved had the other members of staff helped. At no point were we asked for our booking voucher etc which one of the emails stated we would not be able to drive without showing it. One of your terms was that drivers need to wear full length leg wear, yet there were female instructors wearing shorts in the cars. If a company can’t stick to the T&Cs;, why should a customer? Overall we had a good experience and would be interested again, however would hope to see some improvements in staff professionalism and not so many T&Cs; that feel like you’re trying to ‘catch us out’ that takes away from the joy of the experience and just adds more stress to the customers day.
Katie HatchGot a voucher for my 60th birthday to drive 3 Aston Martins. From my first contact with Car Chase Heroes to the day itself I found everyone helpful and willing to answer any questions. I'm so glad I added extra miles. The DB9 was my last car of three, so by now I was getting more familiar with the track, the instructor was brilliant and suggested the best lines resulting in a fabulous experience. Yes there was some waiting around but it was great atomosephere. I had a cracking day and to round it off with a high speed lap just left a permanent grin on my face. Thank you, I loved it.
Phil10/7/22at Farnborough hants had a 3 car experience it was great ,the only down side I paid £50 for at least a dozen photos and 1video which was from the DB9 the vantage and speed mustang nowt I told the girl but she was adamant i paid £50,therewas not one photo from behind the car or side shot .this was definitely not worth £50 ,I will probably book another drive but photos etc no i will do my own .
David HumphriesBeautiful car. Les, the instructor was great, helping me choose the correct line for this cars capabilities. Very fast automatic, smooth, and looks great. Thoroughly enjoyed paying attention to les' advice and got a lot out of the car. Top job Les and brilliant car.
Michael malbonWhat a fantastic day, run really well from start to finish, went out in my No 1 dream car the Aston Martin DB9, and also had a run in a Lamborghini superleggara and had a fast lap drive with an instructor, as before what a great day, please do not hesitate to have ago, I for one will be returning to have another drive ???? well done to car chase heroes for making my, and my daughters, dreams come true ????
Mark ThompsonWhat a ride..... Instructor was really great and made the ride exciting. Disappointed that the car had no first or third gears so had to drive in 2nd and 4th only. But in all I really enjoyed the drive.
Colin HopeHad a wonderful time. Really nervous to start but made to feel calm instantly. Only issue was i couldn't afford to play all day. The cars i drove were fantastic and the instructors were brilliant. Organisation was great too. Sit in the seat and wait for your dream car to arrive. I hope to go again soon. Thanks for a great day. I think my favourite car of the day was the Aston DB9. I drove the Ferrari California, Porsche 911. Speed Mustang and the Camero Bumblebee too.
alexAbsolutely brilliant day at Castle Coombe driving the DB9. All the staff were great in a very hot busy day. My instructor was great and got the most out of me overtaking Ferrari’s and others. Can’t fault the day and great value see you again soon.
Nick GouldIt was a cold, wet and windy day in Norfolk, but the conditions didn’t dampen the friendly, professional and helpful team from Car Chase Heroes. A free a little confusion over where and how to sign in, the experience unfolded smoothly. The briefing and sighting lap helped build confidence. My instructor, Gary, was outstanding: calm, constructive and encouraging. Many thanks to the team on 28/02/20
