California | Cars
*Getting there.. Okay so getting there was a little awkward, as it says on the website you do not go through the main entrance but it doesn't actually say where you go.. the actual entrance you need to go to is nowhere near where the sav nav takes you there is one sign pointing you in the correct direction but only half way there so your basically driving blind till then.. and sav nav can't help you.. *Contacting them on the day.. There's no weekend contact number to call.. which is pretty stupid as it's on weekends.. their call times are only monday-friday *check in checking in was brilliant and very well organised! I didn't catch his first name but Mr Williamson was very kind and helpful *Sight lap There is no signs anywhere for you to stand & staff are all bundled together in the pits and there's a barrier in the way so was hard to catch there attention.. After a 20 minute wait I finally got fed up and went in the pits and was told we were waiting in the wrong bit.. there was others complaining throughout the day saying the same thing.. so a sign to say que here for the sight lap wouldn't hurt and would stop people being ticked off.... *Organisation I felt like the organisation for the cars was quite good .. there is a lot of people just standing about but there is 2 people calling your names out on the tannoy when it's your turn next. So you don't miss anything plus you are given a QR code on the day that takes you to a lost of people and cars and you can see how long it will be till your turn.. We only had a 30 minute wait between the first 2 cars and a 10 minute wait from the 2nd till 3rd car. *Cars and drivers First up was the Roush Mustang lovely teacher driver made my son feel comfortable and confident with his first ever drive so thank you for that. My son said it was his favourite car to drive. Second up was the Ferrari California, again lovely instructor and even my son said after his drive how much he liked the instructor. Third up was the Lamborghini Gallardo, the instructor from the video we purchased seemed to feel comfortable enough for my son to fully take the lead was hardly any do this and thats he just let him drive and you could tell my son way aloud to put his foot down a bit more so enjoyed that ride just a tad more.. *High speed chase High speed chase available yes but they make you go in a normal GTI golf (all of your party can go for a extra £10 each) they made us pay a extra £10 each if you want to go in the buggy or in the BMW as your lining up.. takes it and pops in his pocket.. felt a little suspicious if I'm honest.. *Prices of photos and videos prices I feel we're reasonable for all the photos is a lump sum of £25 and all the interior and exterior video footage was £25 we got a deal because the guy didn't feel there was alot of photos as we had 10 of one car and only 2 of another whitch was a little disappointing. biggest annoyance was no view of track only them coming in and going out. *Facilities we didn't go to it but there is a big food truck with burgers and chips and I think I saw a hog roast ect.. there is also a number of porter loos available. *Overall The staff that have a one on one with you were very nice and friendly, the day is expensive but I felt like my 15 year old really did enjoy himself and I suppose that's all that matters at the end of the day, thank you to the staff that did make are day great specially to the ones I've mentioned ???? Waiting time wasn't too bad just make sure you have a umbrella if it's due to rain as there really isn't any shelter unless it's your turn next to drive then you stand under the gazebo.
