Staff friendly but that’s it - track is way too short and cars look great outside from a distance but are genuinely tatty, old and worn - been in nicer Ubers. Half the cars were off the road being repaired and unavailable and it’s a continuous upsell. You end up paying twice the face value of the voucher if you want to drive some of the nicer cars & pick insurance waivers. Nice enough morning out but wouldn’t recommend it for the price paid.

🚗💨 Upsell! Upsell! Upsell!

😒 Pushy sales tactics everywhere! They try to squeeze every penny out of you. Even if you decline all the extras, they still ask if you want more rides for additional money while you're still hyped up from the experience.

🎉 I received this as a gift for a special occasion. Everything was prepaid for 3 premium cars. When I arrived, one car was unavailable, and they swapped it for another of my choices, but this choice wasn't logged into their system.

🚗 The first two rides were excellent. However, I had to wait an hour for the third one, only to find out I wasn't on the list due to a registration error. Customer service plummeted at this point.

🏎️ The track itself is small with just one straight section where you can really hit the gas. There are potholes, and other drivers are on the track at the same time, making it hit or miss if you get to floor it.

💸 Co-drivers have secondary controls, making the £29 waiver insurance feel like a scam.

⌛ I stood in line to return the media card, which was managed by just one person. The pointless wait was frustrating, especially when I just wanted to return the card to avoid an £80 charge noted on the lanyard.

😤 Overall, the constant upselling and poor organization overshadowed the fun of driving the cars. 🚗💨

Bought my husband a driving experience for his birthday. Took the kids as we thought it would be a family day out.
The cars were off limits so we couldn't look at them and my husband didn't get to drive for 90 mins so there was a lot of waiting around for 7 mins of driving 2 cars right at the very end of the day.

Wouldn't be returning or recommending.
Sorry!!

I loved this. My mum accidentally booked me a driving experience here instead of a young drivers lesson LOL however I had a blasttt. Even tho they were running late it was worth the wait and I was only waiting abt 1hr. Instructer Jason Saunders deserves 5 stars alone as I was super nervous as I have only driven corsas in an empty carpark LOL but he gave me a run down before we took off and he encouraged me throughout and I got comfortable and it aloud me to get the most out of this experience. I went faster than I could ever imagine myself going and he praised me saying I was amazing and that he was shocked I was nervous. he also called me fearless and controlled. so thank you Jason! Totally recommend! I was able to discover that I'm actually a really good driver 😂 I'll be back for more. Definitely!

Had a great day here, dispite the bad weather which I thought would ruin my day, not the case.
The facilities were enough for the time spent and parking was close and plentiful.
I thought the instructors would be over restrictive but was given pretty much free rein whilst driving which was great.
Had to pay OPTIONAL £30 insurance to avoid paying the £2500 excess in the event of damage to the cars, but this was down personal preference and peace of mind.
Cars were set to low performance modes but you can't have it all.
All in all a good day out, plenty of potential to spend a lot more money with offers etc on the day, but that's down to you.

Was a fantastic day out, it's a fairly decent track that allows you to experience driving some amazing cars. The instructors are great, friendly and really make the whole experience that much better. As mentioned in another review there are lots of other things you can pay for, all of which are however optional. If I had a complaint it would be having to pay for the photos and videos, it would be nice to be included in the price but certainly not the end of the world.

Excellent experience driving cars you'd never normally get to drive in a million years. Very well run, no hanging around waiting for next drive.
