My partner bought me the Aston Martin (Vantage & DB9) driving experience for my birthday. After parking up at the venue, we then had a long wait in a slow moving que to register and obtain my drivers card. The first car was the Vantage. Just looking at it from outside it was a bit of an old wreck. But things got worse when I got into the car. It was disgusting with its filthy tatty condition. When I reved the engine it was slow to respond and it rattled like a box of spanners - let alone the strong smell of petrol. As I set off around the circuit, which was disapointingly very short and very busy with lots of other cars on track thus slow, I went to brake and my foot went almost to the floor - No brakes! A quick release and applied again, then the front brakes locked up. My instructor told me I braked too hard. No, I told him, 'this car had a brake failure'! He didn't say anything. We completed two more laps at a very slow pace due to all the other cars out at the same time - and due to my concerns over the brakes. When I did get up some speed there was a very loud clonking from the back of the car - like a drive shaft worn out. When we stoppped to get out I was asked 'What was that like'? I replied, the car is an absolute wreck - horrible. He said, 'They do get a hard life'. After a 35 minute wait in the pouring rain I eventually got into the DB9. Same again filthy, disgusting interior with bits missing and/or broken. The car did drive marginally better and seemed to be in a slightly better condition than the Vantage but I considered it still to be a wreck. Again, hardly any speed could be made on the very short circuit so there was no exhillaration or excitement - utterly boring.Next, I had the three lap high speed ride in a Golf Gti. It was okay but due to the short track it was all over in less than a couple of minutes.When checking out I was asked if I wanted any photos or the videos. I declined as I want to forget about this dreadfully disapointing day. I didn't lodge a complaint or anything as I knew this company do not do refunds. Also, I didn't want to be offered another drive in one of their death traps. I wanted to get out and on my way home.I've been to lots of track days and driving experience days. This is the worst ever. I am a very experienced motor vehicle technician and I could see all their cars were old and in poor condition and many had worn out brake discs. Do not waste your money with this company or their sister company Car Chase Heroes. How others can give them a 5 star rating beggars belief.
