I booked three cars — Lamborghini Spyder, Ferrari California, and Mercedes AMG GT — and arrived at 11:30 (an hour early for my 12:30 slot) expecting some queues. What I didn’t expect was the location to be in the middle of nowhere, with paid parking as the only option. No alternative parking nearby, so you’re immediately forced to hand over more money before you’ve even set foot in the place.
From there, it only got worse. I spent 1.5 hours standing in the blazing sun just to sign in. No shade, no seating, just grass and heat. When you finally reach the registration desk, you’re hit with a high-pressure sales pitch: either cough up £29 for their “damage waiver” or hand over your bank details so they can bill you £5,000 for any damage — even if it isn’t your fault. Staff, especially Josie, push this aggressively using scare tactics, and even mark your card (the one given to you when you register) as “no signed waiver” for the instructor to see. Why the instructor needs to know this is beyond me, except to intimidate you further.
Here’s the kicker: they don’t tell you about the actual safety measures that already make accidents unlikely — instructors have their own brakes, keep strict distances between cars, and only allow overtaking when told. Instead, they show you a board with 25+ cars and claim they’ll all be on track with you at the same time (pure fiction), just to ramp up the fear and squeeze the £29 out of you.
The cars? Most are old, worn out, and poorly maintained. The AMG GT was the only one in decent shape. My “experience” consisted of hours of waiting for a few minutes of driving. Across all three cars, I was behind the wheel for less than 10 minutes in total — the rest of the time was just standing around, baking in the sun. I waited for over 4 hour.
Every step is designed to upsell you — more laps, “better” cars, passenger rides, photos, videos, laps for spectators — it’s a relentless cash grab, not a genuine driving experience. You leave feeling ripped off, not thrilled.
And then, as if the day wasn’t bad enough, they emailed me afterwards offering entry into a prize draw for a “6 Car All-Star Experience” — but only if I sent them proof of a 5-star review. That’s not just shady, it’s against UK consumer protection law unless openly declared — which it wasn’t. In other words, they’re trying to buy positive reviews to hide how bad the experience really is.
Save your money. This place is a cynical operation that cares more about draining your wallet than delivering what they advertise. Absolutely terrible, never again
