- Once you have chosen a date, we will help to ensure that you get the confirmation in time for your event and if need be we will liaise with the supplier on your behalf if there is a problem.
- After each event we invite our customers to review the venue and the provider.

Didn't feel like we received value for money unfortunately.
The briefly consisted of a fear mongering crash video compilation, followed by the suggestion that we should get the £25pp insurance to avoid the the £1000 excess in the event of a crash or a skid off the track.
It turned out we shouldn't have fallen for this upsell as the car was disappointingly slow. Told to keep in 3rd gear the whole time, and even told to go slow on the corners, even though it was slow as it was.
Has really put us off going on a driving experience in future. £100 per person for 8 slow laps around a small circuit was just not worth it.
