New research has revealed that electric vehicles are now zapping ahead of classic favourites in popularity for driving experience day customers, with three times as many people opting to take to the track in a Tesla instead of an Aston Martin DB5, Caterham Seven or Jaguar E-Type. 

Booking data from TrackDays.co.uk shows its Tesla Model S P90D is now a firm favourite. Dan Jones, operations manager at TrackDays.co.uk, commented: "It seems that Brits are gearing up for a transition to all-electric travel in the coming years, with more motorists looking to test the exhilarating Tesla Model S at circuits up and down the country." 

Dan added: "Experiencing the true heritage of motoring with some classic British cars, such as the Aston Martin DB5, will always be an enticing prospect. However, it is highly likely that most of us will own an EV in the future, and driving one on a race track gives motorists an experience which might persuade them to convert to electric when replacing their current model."
