    Cant name names but you are very right to be cautious.

    I've seen some listed as a "supercar experience" but no car on the list was worth more than £50k new. Now, had some fun cars to drive there but nothing close to a supercar

    Need also to be very clear in terms of if you are a passenger or the driver and how "much" of each you get. Plus how "much" is measured, time in the seat, a number of laps etc.

    Certainly known some guys who've said they had a great time doing it but know many more that have said they actually only got 30 minutes of driving seat time, not in the car they wanted and a large part of that was stationary waiting for their turn on the track of the instructor talking to them. Plus lots of time waiting around whilst others have their goes etc.
  • I brought one for my partner at Xmas and we have it booked for 30th April until last night when they emailed us saying that it had been cancelled. We had a whole week booked around this and it's cost a fortune. Is there anything we can do? Surely just under 2 weeks notice isn't acceptable? They have offered different dates but not even the same track which was the whole reason I picked this one as it offered a circuit that was a lifetime dream for him. Any help or advice would be greatly received. Thanks
