Excellent - doing this on 16 July 2023, same track, same car.

[@dashdanny]

I’m doing the same on the 18th

[@dashdanny]

Was it any good?

[@podcastjon]

She seemed fun to be fair I’ve seen a few of these and the instructors don’t want to let people go quick at all.

[@fuzzblightyear145]

compared to some videos of these "esperience" days, this instructor was a good one and let the guy actually drive it.

[@nicklogio727]

Was thinking to go there and try the same car also, or the 650s. But I was always afraid that they won't let people enjoy as much as they want, how was it for you? What was your max speed?

[@fennexx5796]

To be honest they do, in the end it's all up to you, I had a drive in a supra , twin turbo, and I reached about 90mph, it's just there's cones in between the middle of the airfield so they tell you to slow down for the cones, maybe an excuse to slow down, but the supra was amazing, as soon as the turbos kick in it shifts, your not really gonna go super fast and hit hard corners so unless you really like a super car, you'd be better off getting in a turbo car, something boosted, so you could have fun no matter what speed, I went out in an r8 prior and it was boring tbh, and the lady was very strict, depend who you go out with really, for the £60 I paid for 2 cars and damage waiver, it's worth it.

Hi there, was there a lot of waiting time? And how was the overall organisation of the experience? Too many negative reviews online! 😖

[@matthewwhittenham7528]

This occasion it really wasn’t too bad. On previous occasions both the organisation and waiting times have been appalling, so can’t say these negative reviews are wholly untrue, unfortunately.

[@fennexx5796]

I waited all day for the supra as there was a long queue, they recommend us to switch to a quieter car, I was super eager and asked them multiple times, they moved me up the queue and fit me in on the last slot of the day, really nice people, that was in Northampton yesterday

[@chrisashwin8548]

Why were all the pther cars going so slow? Looks like you spent more time stuck behind slow cars than actually experiencing the car

[@matthewwhittenham7528]

Because there's no encouragement for people to drive faster than they're comfortable, nor will they let you go any faster than they feel you're capable. They market themselves as a "driving experience" rather than a racing experience, so you tend to get people there with no or very little track experience, who just want to drive the cars. Including some people from as young as 11 yrs old driving.
