FREE CarKraft driving course – Sunday 28 September

Following its continued success, Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA) has released another date for its hugely popular CarKraft experience.

Now in its 24th year, the free road-safety event returns to the Silverstone Porsche Experience Centre on Sunday 28 September, to provide young people the opportunity to get behind the wheel.

For non-drivers (aged 15+), it’s an opportunity to experience driving for the first time in a controlled environment. While qualified drivers (aged 17-30) will have the chance to enhance their skills. Since launching in 2001, more than 16,000 young drivers have benefitted from taking part in this premier, award-winning driving experience. 

Places for the CarKraft sessions fill up fast, so anyone who wants to take part is advised to book early to avoid disappointment.

Places can be booked online at: www.carkraft.info

And there is more information here: https://www.northants.police.uk/news/northants/news/news/2025/july/free-carkraft-driving-course-returns-this-autumn
