Extreme Dodgems

After a warm welcome, a brief safety talk and kitting up, it was time for some action. 8 drivers climbed through the windscreens of their cars and began 2 heats whilst the other drivers watched, waiting for their time to show the driving world what they are made of. Once the heats were over the 8 lap finals began. You were grouped together according to your ability and the champions were presented with trophies. I honestly cannot think of a better way of spending a day than trying to beat all of the topgear loving petrol heads. An event that can be enjoyed by people of any driving ability.

Really enjoyed the Extreme Dodgems, now I want to go back and do the hotrods!

It was an amazing day from start to finish, the family enjoyed spectating as much as my dad enjoyed taking part. It was extremely well organised and highly professional. Cannot believe how much fun we all had...would quite happily have got up and done it all over again the very next day!

This was a hugely entertaining driving experience and much more fun than I expected. Initial thoughts on driving a 1.3 litre 'banger' around a short oval track was that it wouldn't be as fun as driving a Ferrari. But how wrong I was! Driving these little cars as fast as traction would allow was more engaging, great fun and addictive. I'd recommend it to anyone who would enjoy a driving experience.

Good briefing, relaxed atmosphere, really well organised, there didn't seem a long time between races and it was good getting the two heats because it gave you a really good feel for the cars. Had loads of fun - really good to do with other people as well, there were a whole group of us. Slightly apprehensive about everyone smashing into eachother, but there was none of that. Really good day all round.

Friendly staff, loud engines and adrenaline junkies. That was a make up of the day. A full racing suit including a Stig Helmet and a rapid little 1300cc that definatly takes a beating
You are involved in 3 races. Two of which are point scored and depending on your performance, dictates which final you will be racing in your third race. Personally I wasn't bothered where I was placed, as long as I enjoyed my day, which I did. I was involved in three instances, which tested my skills as a driver. Getting spun out, fish tailing, and even defending your race position whilst trying to gain was the best experience. The racing was so awesome, dodging, weaving, scuffling, spinning, and even crashing which if you are a motor racing fan would agree exists even at professinal level. Many thanks to the team.

Lots of fun and plenty of time behind the wheel. The staff were all friendly and having things like race marshalls and a pace car made it all a lot more exciting. Also it was great to take home a trophy at the end of the day.

Was a really fun day. Was really good to watch other people going round the track when it wasn't my turn as well which is always good. The weather was lovely thank god as it would have been scary doing that sort of driving in the wet! The commentary really bought the day to life!

Extreme dodgems was absolutely great. It had a real racing atmosphere and everyone was very professional and friendly. The actual racing was great fun and I had a smile all day. Watching the other racers was also very exciting. I would recommend this to anyone.

Had a great day, the staff were very nice and explained things clearly and quickly. Races were fun and exciting. Totaly different than Go Karting and much better. Great day out!

Brilliant day out, excellently organised throughout. These people know their stuff!!! Had lots of fun as did my family who came to watch. Couldn't have asked for a better 30th birthday present.

An absolutely amazing day. The venue, staff and event were just fantastic. Would recommend this event to anyone.

Well organised, no hold ups with administration from booking the day, to getting ready to race. Racing was lively but well marshalled with safety uppermost in mind. Excellent race atmosphere provided by PA commentary with a good crowd of cheering supporters. Unfortunately, the drivers on the day were doing their best to break the machinery, with punctures, wheels flying off and thrills and spills. The mechanics were kept more than busy but cars were back and running with speedy resolve. A great day made all the better by a personal win in the Group C final, and a parade lap and trophy by way of celebration.

I had a really good day and everyone was really friendly. I was the only girl with 25 men, there was certainly a lot of competition that's for sure! All the staff were really friendly and helpful.

I took my partner and son - they both had a brilliant time, even more so when I was disqualified!!! Seriously though - this is a great experience for anyone of any age or gender and I would highly recommend it! Thank you to everyone for a great day.

When I arrived at the Birmingham racetrack and saw the format, I thought that can't be for us. But after a short introduction and safety briefing we were on the track in the cars and racing full on. It was a thrilling ride in the race prepared vehicles and good fun with the other Red Letter Days competitors. I would do it again and recommend it as an experience.

Very professional approach to the day, from the detailed programme to the full commentary throughout the event. Want to do it again!

Well organised, thrilling day. Start to finish you are aware of the proceedings due to announcements. Excellent morning out, if you are going take the family and friends to cheer you on!! Brilliant.

What a fantastic day out , really enjoyed it, highly recommended it, would do it again!! many thanks.

Really, really good. Good venue, great commentator and fantastic fun.

I brought the extreme dodgems experience for my boyfriend and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Perfect for anyone who wants to have a go at racing.

Excellent experience, adrenaline pumping driving action, and a good laugh to boot.

All in all I thought it was an excellent day.

The whole day was spot on as far as organisation and planning went, I had a brilliant day and have already recommended it to my friends - I would love to do it again.
