The only positive thing I can say is that you do actually get to drive some cars. I purchased a junior three-supercar driving experience. Immediately after paying, I then discovered that in order to drive any of the actual supercars listed as part of the experience, there were hidden additional charges.When we arrived at the venue, there was a further hidden parking charge. When we went to sign in, there was an additional charge for a waiver of a £5,000 insurance excess. Perhaps I’m naïve, but I think a company offering a service for children to drive supercars should be fully insured as standard.Then, and perhaps most importantly, the experience itself; once we arrived and had paid through the additional barriers, we were shown to the queue for the high-speed ride with an instructor. After queuing for 30–45 minutes and sitting in the car, the driver told us we couldn’t do the lap until after my son had driven his laps, and we were told to get out of the car.Potential purchasers should be aware that the time you are given is just your arrival time—not the time you will be driving. You are then shepherded to a holding area with literally hundreds of people waiting to drive. All the cars have an electronic queuing system. We then discovered my son was not due to drive a car for nearly two hours.While you wait, you are subjected to constant (this is not an exaggeration) announcements attempting to get people into cars or to wait in seats to be next in line. The organisation—using the term loosely—is not good.Overall, it was a poor experience. I strongly recommend paying for a driving experience at a real race track. We did one at Silverstone a few years ago and it was great: you arrive, get a safety briefing, go out at the time you booked, and generally enjoy a professional service.
