Les,
Hope you enjoyed your day, missed this thread before. I used to work for them but fell out with the old management for letting customers drive too fast !!
Thankfully, new management in place now but haven't done anything for them as just too busy on other stuff. Much depends on which instructor you get but there are some good guys there.
Look forward to your report.

well , what a cracking day yesterday .
early start , up at 5am , met up with my friends and off we went , weather looking decidedly iffy .
we arrived at the venue about 09;30 and what a sight to see !
a pit area full of exotica
the list is like a lottery winners dream ,
ferrari 360, 430 , and 430 stradale
lambo guiardo , murcialago both the quick ones , lp560 and lp640
focus rs , hummers , db9 , maserati coupes ,
lotus exige , mini gp,s , ktm xbow , caterhams ,
staff were all very polite and helpful and after a quick coffee we got the briefing out of the way and headed outside for some familiarisation laps
in some focus st .
the track is 1.8miles long with some very fast bends and a real off camber uphill right which is lovely when you get it right because it leads onto a flat left hand kink at the crest of the hill .
slow laps done we headed over to the pits to find our first cars and , with the excitement building i climbed into a black lambo gallardo
what a car , very easy to drive fast , only down side was the flappy paddles ,they seemed very agricultural and not what i was expecting in a car like that .
still thoroughly enjoyed every minute of driving it sooooooo fast and controlled , a real joy to drive , brakes were amazing and so much grunt out of the corners .
sraight to the top of my wish list or so i thought , that was until i drove my next car , more on that in a min .
some pics first
also some weird guy giving pax laps in a xbow
sopped for a bite to eat after watching all these glorious cars going round and then got into what is now my number 1 must have car
i have driven alot of stuff over the years and this is amazing .
i think a little bit of man wee came out when i nailed it flat out round a fast right hand kink , fuck me , this things goes like a missle and sticks to the road like a fresh turd on a hot day , wow, wow , wow !!!!
on top of this it turns out that my instructor is someone i have met before and he lives about 5 mins from my house .
many thanks to toby my instructor for letting me cane the crap out of the gt3rs , it very nearly was the highlight of the day , untill i caught the stare of this guy !
i dont know if it was him or not as he didnt take his lid off all day , even when we spotted him at the end of the day putting fuel in the xbow
even if it wasnt the real STIG whoever it was could certainly pedal that car around at a seriously fast pace , i only had 3 pax laps with him but he was inch perfect every lap and certainly on the limit on every lap .
overall a very enjoyable day with only one downside , after paying 30 quid for the onboard video of both my laps i got home to find that ithe memory stick it was on wont work on my pc or mac .
gutted
few more pics ,,
there were also some bentley continentals , new gtr, mini works , porsche 997s etc there too , so much to chose from in one day ,.
they also have a rally course adjacentto the track with scoobys , evos etc
overall a very well run and professional setup .
i would recomend it to anyone , but you do need to save up for this one as each car costs between
