People in Fareham are being offered the chance to take a 10-minute ride in supercars this bank holiday at Cams Mill pub.
On Monday, armed forces charity event A Driving Force for SSAFA, is offering rides at the Cams Mill Pub in Fareham for a small donation.
The charity has said there will be a superb array of cars on display and also activities such as face painting, glitter tattooing, tombola, and a raffle.
Know as 'Miles for Smiles', the event will start at around 10.15am at Cams Mill and rides will go on until 3.30pm.
A Driving Force for SSAFA is a biennial charity event, raising funds for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.
Two veterans Benn Laidler MBE and Steve Shaw, Directors of A Driving Force, have witnessed the devastation suffered by casualties of military conflict.
Since 2012, they have been fundraising through charity driving events, which have taken place across the UK raising over three quarters of a million for many charities supporting military personnel.

Steve Shaw, Director of A Driving Force for SSAFA, said: “We have a big target of raising £120,000 for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, and we hope that the local community will come and support our event on Bank Holiday Monday.
“Events such as this, also give us a platform to improve awareness of all the fantastic work that SSAFA provide and help us to reach our target.
“As we know, the nation is coming to terms with the unseen impact of sending 150,000 military personnel to conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Of those, 636 people sadly lost their lives. Regrettably, tens of thousands more were left with unseen injuries both mentally and physically, which they carry with them each and every day.
“We can probably never relieve them of the burden, but we can certainly help, bringing to bear our passion, enthusiasm and drive as ex-members of the Armed Forces.”
