Every Bit As Good As I Hoped

I really enjoyed this experience, which was a present from my wife. The briefings were clear and interesting, and the car was a lot of fun to drive. Could have carried on a bit longer as I was just getting the hang of it, but in fairness my shoulders were beginning to complain so perhaps it was just as well it stopped when it did.
An Excellent Experience

My husband (for whom this gift was for) completely enjoyed his time in the car and said that he would be very happy to come back again. The signs towards the experience day could be better. The chap at the guardhouse mistook us for being on the Porsche experience and so we had to depend on the sparingly placed "Silverstone Track Experience" signs to get to the right place. Also, if you're a spectator, the best views/shots for your camera to be had are all outdoors and up stairs, so dress appropriately as you'll be there for quite some time. Overall, we both enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to others.
Exceed All My Expectations

From the start the experience was professionally impressive. All the staff are courteous and knowledgeable and timings were delivered as promised. The facility at Silverstone is amazing, and it gave that Formula 1 one feel throughout the day. The briefing we received was concise and educated; with a lot to remember when strapped in the car. The racing itself was exhilarating, exciting and absolutely incredible. The speed was amazing, and the ability to truly test you as a wannabe F1 driver was open to all; I just needed another 20 laps to get closer to that lap record. The day far and away exceeded my expectations. I was made to feel welcome at every opportunity and it truly made me feel special; a real life remembering experience...a genuine Red Letter Day!
Something Everybody Should Experience!!

Everything about this experience was great. I bought it for my fiance for his 35th birthday and on the day, seconds after stepping out of the single seater car, he said it was the best thing he had ever done! He has since told everyone the same thing and is telling everyone they have to experience it as it was so amazing. Enough said I think! Thank you for a great day...I even enjoyed it as a spectator! The staff at Silverstone were really professional and friendly and were happy to answer any questions about the car, track, venue etc.
A Great Experience

Had a blast in the cars, great fun, cars are very fast. Good briefing and coaching on how to drive the cars. The cars are really good, well maintained and look smart. Only wish there was more time in the cars racing. Didn't feel like 20 min sessions.
The Best Day Of My Life!

I bought this experience for my husband as a birthday present. His words as he finished the day was this was "the best day of my life." I would really recommend this for anyone interested in racing or driving! His only complaint - it was over so soon! Well worth the money and the drive down to Silverstone!

Silverstone Wet Race

Great day well run awsome car with go kart like grip and fantastic brakes. I had a fully wet session so a bit of a dissapointment but you really got a small sense of how a wet F1 race must feel. The in car video is just amazing and confirmed the near zero visability.
Absolutely Fantastic

Always thought i was a frustrated racing driver with a 'what might of been' attitude but having attempted the real thing which was a 50th birthday gift it made me realise how hard it really is but OMG what fun!!!!!!!! The whole set up is very professional and well organised and i would reccomend anyone young or old male or female to come and try it GREAT EXPERIENCE and i would given the chance do it all again and hope to knock at least a couple of seconds off my PB lap time. Thanks for a great day.

Everyone had a good time, the instructors are very good and keen to ensure you have a good day. Really great day out. Can't wait to do it again. My son came and took photos, but next time he's going give it a go too.
Fantastic From Start To Finish!

The excitement builds from the moment you arrive at the track, the sound of the car flying by as you step into the briefing room gave me butterflies in my stomach. The briefing fills you in on the basics but nothing really prepares you for the moment you see the car you are about to drive as you lower yourself inside and are strapped in tight by your friendly helper, then you're away... as you follow the pace car gradually gaining speed you feel the grip of these fantastic cars, the heat and sound of the exhast of the car infront hits you in the face, the speed and supreme handling of the machine is immediately aparent, make no mistake these are REAL racing machines... Then its up to you, no speed limits, no harsh rules, go as fast as you like, as fast as you dare! this really was one of the most exciting days of my life, we got far longer in the cars than expected and everybody from the front desk to debrief was excellent. Thank you Red Letter Days for an unforgettable experience!
What An Experience Couldn't Believe I Was Doing It

Very enjoyable experience, even though it rained heavily the fun & exhileration was outstanding. Driving through a wall of spray gave a taste of what it must be like in an F1 car in those conditions, the car was fast, responsive & although told it was likely to spin easily. Found it to be very tractable & handled beautifully, just wish I was younger as I would have definitely taken up this sport. The only down side was the low number of laps we completed due to participants crashing out during the free track period.
Adrenaline Rush!

Great expert advice for beginners wanting this experience, your putative ease and there is no pressure to be the next lewis Hamilton! A relaxed feel but an amazing experience depending on how daring you feel! I lived every second! For the price you simply cannot go wrong for such a one off experience unless you get the bug for more! If you love motor sport do it! You will not be disappointed! Fact!
Great Memories!

This was a gift to my partner. He loved it!!! Although a little hesistant to start, he built up his confidence on the track & has talked about it all weekend! He's pretty keen to go back to try and do a quicker time!. (So i think the present was a success!) As a spectator, I really enjoyed seeing the racing; Silverstone is set up so well, it makes the experience one too remember for both of us.
