Hey Guys, I just wanted to say a big thank you to the team for yesterday. I got to drive the Aston Martin. All I can say is WOW! what a car.(Thanks Steve.) I would highly recommend this experience. The hot lap was a white knuckle ride, at the same time it felt really safe with Paul behind the wheel. Nice work. Team were very professional. They even went the extra mile and kept an eye on my kids while I was on the track. Thanks again. I WILL BE BACK!! My eldest want to have a hot lap next time.......... Cheers

What a fantastic day! The sun was shining and it was the perfect day for a Supercar experience! All of the team were extremely helpful, from the registration team to the professional drives with you in the supercar, everyone obviously loved working there as it showed! The only thing I would mention is that, maybe added in another 1 or 2 laps in the supercar to give you 5 rounds instead of 3 but that's the only thing I can suggest. I'm showing everyone at work my photos and so many others are interested! many thanks Leanne and Darren Meikle-Bevan

fantastic experience, staff made it a great day, would be good to have some form of speed indication on the usb video or even a speed indicator somewhere on the track as i was (and am sure other people) too busy concentrating on the track and had no time to look down at the dash.

I drove the Aston Martin and really enjoyed it. The instructor was great and gave good clear advice. I'd loved to have had more time in the car, maybe next time. Thank you for making it a great experience. Cheers Mike.

This was gifted to me by friends and I was a bit apprehensive at first but once I was onsite with your team I absolutely loved every minute of the experience and would recmmend it 10x over to all of my friends and family! My driving coach JT did wonders because initially I had no idea what I could and couldn’t do driving this magnificent car. Considering looking into further coaching and if the opportunity came up to do this again I would have no hesitations. Thanks again for the amazing morning!
