    It was a great experience to sit in the front of the car and get to see how the driver just throw it in to the corners so aggressively and precisely, I cant wait to have a go at driving one now.

    It was a fantastic experience and gave me a slight inkling into how hard the drivers work. The program organisation was also excellent. Thanks a lot.

    I also need to comment on the driver I had for my ride (who's name escapes me right now) and say he was UNBLOODYREAL! He was the driver of the DBA car. He just 'made' the experience!!! My next experience with the V8's will definitely be to drive one!!................."When I grow up, I wanna be a V8RACE driver!!" Regards, One VERY happy passenger, Mrs Lorrey Lloyd.

    Had a great time even though it was pouring rain. Only down side, it was over too soon, although any more and I'd be addicted. Thanks for a great time.

    As an older person and not a great race car fan, I was surprised, but delighted to receive the ride as a gift for my 70th birthday. The team preparation before entering the race car was thorough enough, the cars well used but sound. The driver Michael, was experienced and enthusiastic thus able to give me quite a thrill driving at speed and expertly holding the vehicle around some tight corners. It was a real buzz for me and will recommend it to friends. Thanks for the experience.

    Great ride I couldnt believe how early you need to brake to get around corners, if I was driving I would have left the braking way too late also once we got going down the main straight I felt like we where floating on air

    The staff!! What can I say - we have never experienced better service or been made to feel more welcome ... The enthusiasm, helpfulness and most of all the friendliness of all the staff was fantastic, made the experience for Sam so much more enjoyable and gave us something to rave about on the way home! Thank you. Kim and Paul
