Driving Experiences UK Reviews 29

Brilliant gift voucher. Drove the Audi R8 and Ferrari at Rockingham on a 2 car experience. I got the extra lap options so got 6 laps in each. The staff were all extremely friendly and the instructor makes sure you are comfortable in the seat when you get in. I had not done this before so it was great to have friendly instructors (Ferrari guy, sorry forgot his name! and Sam) who pushed me to drive the car faster if possible. It was quite well organised considering the number of people there. Would definately recommend!!

Great day with great staff made my sons day ... known as Everyman racing now

Junior driving experience at Dunsfold.
Excellent instructors, nice staff, and great selection of cars, coned circuit just right for the kids. Decent amount of time in the cars too.
All felt a bit cattle class and not the premium experience you’d expect given the price you pay.
No info upfront about the time you’d need to allow for bus transport around the circuit, the queues, and hanging around between flakey time slots.
Very little direction. Had to keep asking where to go, what to do, how long, etc.
Poor camera recordings.
Main thing was that our boy enjoyed the time in the cars, so big tick in the box there.

Though my husband enjoyed the actual driving experience (the Brands Hatch Five Car Thrill), the general organisation of the day left a lot to be desired!!

Firstly, no instructions are provided on exactly which entrance to Brands Hatch to use. Once you have worked that out for yourself, you then park (car park clearly marked). However, we wasted a good 10 minutes wandering round trying to find the registration area. When we eventually found it, we were met with a long slow moving queue.

With 2 minutes to spare before our allotted start time, we rushed to our first garage area. Suffice it to say that there was absolutely no need to rush anywhere for the rest of the day as most areas were running woefully behind time. The young lady in the Porsche garage told us we had 1 person ahead of us. 55 minutes later (!!!) my husband eventually got in the car and that car was taken out of action as soon as he finished his laps.

There were rarely enough helmets to go around (people were told to go and find one from one of the other garages). There were also not enough seats for anyone, especially given that the wait times were so long.

Those hoping to be able to watch their friends and family drive found that the only way to do so was to do so through a mesh fence.

Overall a disappointedly poorly organised day. Definitely not a patch on Mercedes Benz World!!

I was gifted an experience that I upgraded to a 458.

The car was great, the instructor excellent, but the general organisation utterly shambolic.

Post the safety briefing (all fine) you're then told to go to your flag - nothing about actually checking in. As part of the booking you state a time. For myself and my heavily pregnant wife who was with me to watch that was 1400.

After multiple requests to understand what the hell was going on and eventually throwing my toys as they were so delayed that we were at risk of missing a nursery pick-up they 'priortised' my slot and I got on the track at 1530.

As I say at the start, car was great, instructor (John) was great. The 'pit lane' organisation, however, an absolute mess. Felt sorry for the poor lady using paper (Yes PAPER) to try and co-ordinate who was doing what.

They ask you to be an hour early so in total we're at the track for 4.5hrs for 15min of actual track time. Sorry Driving Experience but you've really got to do something about your organisational skills - pronto.

If it wasn't for the instructor this would be a 1*.

I had a driving experience bought for me for Christmas last year and I went on the day just yesterday and wow wow wow what an amazing day! I drove an R8, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini & Aerial Atom. The instructors and the all the staff were incredible, they make you feel totally at ease and you get the best out of each car. It can get incredibly pricey, but if you enjoy driving and fast cars, it really is worth every penny. I’d definitely go again. Still on a high! Thank you to my instructors, Toni, Ade & Rick (and for scoring me 35/36/37 out of 40)!!

just had a fabulous drive of a Ferrari and a Lamborghini , very efficient , very reasonable price and worth every penny !!!! Highly recommended
