Lord only knows what any of us here at CarBuzz would do with a supercar at 17 years old, let alone 10 years old. We can assure you, it would likely end in smoke, fire, and plenty of tears, supposing any of us had the frontal cortex development to make it back alive. But one company in the UK thinks it would be super fun to let children have a go in six-figure supercars.

The cars in question are the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's predecessor, the Gallardo Superleggera, and the Ferrari 458 Italia. Without a doubt, each of these cars is supercar royalty. Moreover, 458 values have started to climb in recent years as Ferrari takes its V8 lineup turbocharged. Risky business.

Yet UK-based TrackDays says it's happy to let any 10-17-year-old have a go. With adult supervision, of course. For those of you reading Stateside, think of the company as the same as one of the many exotic track day businesses in the USA, but here, you have to be an adult and you have to have a license.

The program is part of TrackDay's "Junior Platinum Supercar" experience. For up to 6 miles on specially laid out cone courses, these lucky kids will have their pick of either the Gallardo or the 458. At current exchange rates these kids, or more likely their parents, will have to fork over $100+ to get their seat time in some of Italy's best. The events are held around the UK at 10 different circuits including Anglesey in North Wales and Dunsfold Park in Surrey, the latter frequented by Top Gear.

Now, we know this sounds too good to be true for many a 10-year-old reading this, so listen up; there is a catch.

Adult drivers taking part in a similar program must have a learner permit at least, but for those in the 10-17YO range, a photo ID will suffice. However, there are height and weight restrictions, and you must be taller than 5ft and shorter than 6ft 5in. The maximum weight allowance is 252 lbs.

We'd have killed to do any of this at ages 10-17, and it's great to see someone taking the chance to make some kids smile.

"We are incredibly excited to be able to bring this experience to kids who probably never imagined that they could end up driving the car of their dreams, or from the poster on their bedroom wall," says Dan Jones of TrackDays.co.uk. "It's certainly a step up from a first driving experience in their parents' car to get behind the wheel of a 200mph+ Ferrari or Lamborghini!"
