    Bought for my husbands 50th as he asked for a driving experience and boy did he get one! The whole day was fantastic i had a book as i thought i would be bored as i am not into cars but i loved every minute and the 8 1/2 hours just flew by. The staff and instructors were excellent very professional and fun the whole thing was very well organised. My hubby never stopped grinning and enjoyed all the cars but especially the F1. Lunch was yummy with plenty of free drinks during the day and the momento and photo we got at the end will be treasured. The hotel was superb and the meals included outstanding! All in all a brilliant experience well worth every penny.

    Fantastic Day To Remember

    Perfect day weather included. Tutors were brilliant, easy to talk too and really knew their stuff. The cars were great to drive and there wasnt much time wasted out of the cars. My family were well looked after and lunch was great. The hotel provided was excellent. I would recommend this experience to any motorsport fan.

    Mindblowing

    Just a sensational day - superbly organised from start to finish. The way you build up through the day by learning the track and getting used to it with more powerful cars before culminating with the F1 car is staggering.

    Unforgettable Memories
