A great experience, just needed more laps to appreciate the excellent tuition

A great experience, the Formula Renault was too small for me but the Sport 2000 racer gave me pretty much the same ride. Shame about the rev limiter, though, as all the supercars were faster up Woodham Hill but the race car is amazing in the corners.

Well the problem with the car was that I couldn't work out where the brake and accelerator was, plus it was fully manual so I just didn't fancy driving it. I was very pleased though to get 5 laps in a Porsche.

Great drive in a sungle seater and an alpine. Great instructors and very kind and understanding and patient. I felt like michael schumacher.

A quality experience and well worth doing! The drive beforehand in a sports car along with a tour of the track (both with expert instructors) puts you at ease before you get to drive a single seater around a fantastic track! The hot laps at the end are memorable and it all adds up to make a phenomenonal experience.

Cars are heavily restricted to around 70mph couldn't say for sure as clocks didn't work, which was not made clear untill the briefing, spent most of my 5 laps on the limiter being passed by other cars 😔 The test test laps in the alpine are faster than the single seater race car. Very underwhelming overall not worth the amount I paid for experience.

Driving Experience Review – 18th July, 10:30 AM I recently took part in a driving experience on the 18th of July at 10:30 AM, and overall, it was a decent half-day out. To start on a positive note, the staff were genuinely friendly throughout – from the reception and briefing to the transfer escort and the team in the single seater area. They helped set a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I drove the Alpine sports car first. The car itself was alright, nothing too special, but enjoyable enough. My instructor, a young lad, was mostly okay (I'd say about 70%), but I didn’t appreciate being told off by him, especially given he was clearly at least 10 years younger than me. It felt unnecessary and a bit patronising. The single seater race car was a much cooler experience. Unfortunately, the rev limiter was set to just 4500 RPM, and if you’re a quick driver like me, you hit the limiter well before braking, which made the car stutter – quite frustrating and it takes away from the thrill. We also had a driver take us around the track, and he was great – friendly and engaging. I didn’t end up using the hot lap experience that came with my package. It turned out to be in a standard Toyota hatchback, which was disappointing. I had expected something more exciting, like a BMW M135/M140, M3, VW Golf R, or at least a Toyota GR Corolla. I gave my hot lap to another visitor who hadn’t booked anything. Lastly, I was under the impression from booking that I’d receive a free bacon baguette and hot drink, but apparently that’s only for 8:30 AM bookings. This wasn’t made clear beforehand, which was a bit misleading. Would I go back for another experience? Probably not. But I don’t regret going – it was a good way to spend a morning and tick something off the bucket list.
