Superb. Another ticked off the bucket list. No negative feedback. The day was well organised and everything ran to schedule considering the number of people participating on the day. The instructor was one out of the box and taught me a lot about driving on a race track. Would go back again tomorrow for another drive.

Very well organised with the waiting room, video to watch etc. Friendly and welcoming staff. A great experience driving the Ferrari and being a passenger in the Evo.
