My son bought me this Red Letter Days experience for my birthday, knowing that I always had a passion for driving interesting cars. Now in my 72nd year I admit I was a little apprehensive as the time approached, but I was soon put at ease by the friendly and professional approach by all of the staff members. The rest as they say is 'JUST HISTORY'. The experience of driving around the track was everything I had hoped for and more. Thank you Thruxton and Red Letter Days for making an 'old man's dream' come true.
Amazing, never ever thought I would be able to drive a single seater racing car, still buzzing.
Just Pure Adrenaline Fun!!!
A really good day out, will do it again soon, very well looked after - even my 3 year old son got to sit in a Lambo and a single seater racing car with a helmet and gloves on just like his dad, which made his day!! Thanks to the guys at Goodwood!
Great Experience For Everyone Who Went
Well organised, with good tuition, but still giving the opportunity to push the car to what feels like the limit.
2 Days On And I'm Still Grinning!
WOW, what a morning! The staff were welcoming to me, my 4 year old son and my father. All the cars were on display for a nose around and catering facilities were up and running. Registration was a simple form done in a minute, followed by a very informative briefing session. Then the fun began... 3 laps with an instructor and 2 other drivers demonstrating the braking, turning points and other lumps and bumps in the track. Next up, 4 laps in a Porsche Cayman - you driving and an instructor talking you through the lap, each lap getting progressively better! That alone was worth the day! The main event, several laps in a single seater racing car! You're out there on your own trying to remember everything you've learnt, hoping the guy with the PIT NOW board will lose count! All together an unforgettable day that I would repeat in a heartbeat!
The whole experience was superb. Drive a porsche as fast as you can, then follow the racing lines in a single seater. Finally sit in with an expert driver and lose your breath as he drives you around at lightning speeds. I would recommend the day to anyone ... a brill thrill!!
Fantastic Afternoon On The Race Track
What an amazing afternoon, from the training through to the final lap in a two man racer, this was a training day to remember. My initial thoughts were 'I'm not too bothered about the Mazda and the Porsche, just get me in the racers'. It soon becomes obvious that the other vehicle experiences are all part of a strategic build up to give drivers the best experience they can get once they climb into the F3 cars. And just when you think you're the new Lewis Hamilton, you get into the twin racers and discover that you're but a snail in the great race of life. A fantastic day out, well put together, we were well looked after all day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Had An Excellent Day, What An Experience!
It was one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done! Can't wait to go back and do it again! Every aspect was brilliant including the very friendly staff. I would recommend this experience to everyone, it was amazing!!
It was even better than I imagined, the driving experience was like no other, I would love to do it again.
Great And Memorable Day For True Petrol Heads!
Booked easily and efficiently. Red Letter Days staff were very informative and helpful. Day itself (at Thruxton) was well organised and thoroughly enjoyable.
I Smiled All Day And Am Still Smiling!
The driving experience was at Thruxton Circuit and I have to say I cannot remember enjoying a day out as much. All the staff at Thruxton were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The thrill of being at a circuit with all the activity was more than matched by the experience of handling high performance sports cars and a single seater racing car. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who has even the slightest interest in driving at speed. The skill of the instructors help to build your confidence very quickly and ensure that you get a real "buzz" from the experience.
Having driven an innumerable amount of 'everyday' motor cars, climbing in (or should I say shoe-horning myself) into a tiny cockpit of a Formula 2000 F1 style racer and roaring around a race circuit was a very exciting experience indeed!
An opportunity to drive supercars around the fastest race track in the country with expert instructors informing participants on racing techniques. This is a thrilling experience, culminating in the opportunity to take a racing car through the famous Thruxton circuit. I came away not only thrilled by the day, but also having learnt a lot about racing driving and the capabilities of some very special cars.
I found the whole experience very good.
Excellent day out. The staff at Thruxton were first class.
The quality of service from Red Letter Days was beyond my expectation, venue and staff also excellent, it does help to have a sunny day as well.
