18 January 2018, Gaydon: Aston Martin today unveiled the first Art of Living by Aston Martin offering for 2018. These exclusive experiences offer unprecedented access for guests who want to live the Aston Martin life.

A highlight of Aston Martin's new Art of Living season is "Hokkaido On Ice", an opportunity to experience a range of Aston Martin models against the spectacular backdrop of Japan's northernmost island. Guided by experienced drivers, guests will learn how to drive a car in slippery conditions and push themselves and the cars to the limit.

More attractive events are planned for 2018, including the wilderness of Norway, starting with the breathtaking view from the famous Atlantic Road. A drive through the Scottish Highlands takes guests through rugged mountain ranges, breathtaking lochs and historic castles, and for those seeking the warmth of the sun, a trip to South Africa awaits along the coast near Cape Town.

For racing enthusiasts, imagine you get to travel to Barcelona before the start of the 2018 Formula One season to put the new cars through their paces before the teams fly to Melbourne, Australia for the first race of the year. Art of Living by Aston Martin guests will be offered exclusive access to the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing garage and the opportunity to meet the F1TM drivers and team members as they prepare for the new season.

For guests looking for racing, there is plenty to offer. Formula One fans can attend the most glamorous F1TM race: the Monaco Grand Prix, where they will experience the highest levels of passion, drama and performance like never before. Or they can pick up an Aston Martin at Red Bull Racing HQ in the UK and head to the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium before stepping back to watch the Belgian Grand Prix.

In 2017, Aston Martin took a glorious victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2018, Art of Living guests are invited to join the team as they defend their title against the best cars and drivers in the world. Staying at the stunning Chateau de Jalesnes, you'll beat the queues with helicopter transfers to and from the circuit as you cheer on the Aston Martin Racing team.

Goodwood is once again an integral part of the Aston Martin Art of Living season. Whether it's the fast and furious Festival of Speed or a step back in time to the Glorious Revival, guests will have unprecedented access to the heart of the action at the beautiful Duke of Richmond estate.

The Nürburgring Driving Academy offers guests one-to-one tuition on the world-famous Nürburgring Nordschleife, so they can learn how to drive an Aston Martin sports car on one of the world's most brutal race tracks. Closer to home, the Art of Living now offers behind-the-scenes insights into Aston Martin's global headquarters. Unique access to the marques heritage centre, Aston Martin Works and an exhilarating driving experience at Millbrook Proving Ground.
