A Great Hot Laps Experience

Doug 12 April 2026

This was a great on-track experience - seeing how a top flight racing driver like John Bowe drives the car (loved the V8 sound from inside the car), how he used the brakes, and how he attacked the corners. John was also very approachable outside of the car, and was happy to talk about motor racing in general, or just to have a chat. I really enjoyed the whole experience, and would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to make a booking.
