Hi Team, Thanks for providing a fantastic experience for me at Hampton yesterday. From the start of the day everyone was very welcoming and positive. Great for calming any nerves. The driving instructors were awesome, providing useful feedback and keeping me very relaxed behind the wheel. I couldn't recommend the experience highly enough to anyone. Thanks again, Kieran

Hi Guys, Great day, great people and great cars. Much better appreciation of what goes through race car drivers head. Loved driving the Lotus, but body shape and age suited for the Aston Martin. Hot lap in the Evo, fantastic. Thanks Don

Hi there, I'm doing the feedback on behalf of teagan, hope that's OK. As this us my email address. He loved the lotus drive and the driver was awesome..(a self confessed speed demon hecwas) The Austin martin didn't seem to be running very well he thought. I paid for the evo drive and I managed the sneak my way into the front with teagan in the back... that was frigging awesome!! Thank you so much, your team are awesome ?? Kind regards Fiona Gregg

Thanks to you all for a wonderful experience - from the welcome upstairs to the helpfulness of the ladies on pit lane to the drivers and instructors, this was a professionally run set up which was thoroughly ennoyed. The Aston experience was great and the guidance from my instructor was fantastic and marvelously calm. Apologies, in my nervousness and excitement I forgot his name. I would highly recommend this experience to even the most inexperienced drivers. It was a fantastic hour or two and my smile broadened with every lap. The hot lap was great, and my only comment would be that it would be nice to have an out lap followed by a complete hot lap, but I suppose that would escalate costs and the time on track, as well as increasing the danger factor. Overall I Ioved the entire package and once again thanks to all involved.

I’ve done a few driving experiences including 2 Aston Martin drives back in the UK, but this one was far snd away the best of all of them. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and appeared to enjoy what they do and that rubs off on you. The experience itself was fantastic. It felt like I was allowed to go as hard as I felt comfortable with, whereas previous experiences I felt like I was held back by instructors. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and hope to come back again. Keep up the good work.
