Customer Reviews of Our Rockingham Driving Experiences
Thanks for your follow up after my trip to Rockingham. It was a great day out and I really enjoyed myself as did my family who came with me. We will be going again. Thanks to all your team for a great day out and a great service.

My husband has never had the opportunity to drive a really nice car so when I got a spot bonus at work I decided to spend it on a driving experience for him as a surprise. Booked the Lotus Exige experience because it was close to us and included 7 laps behind the wheel which is a lot more than most driving experiences. He had a lovely time, so I recommend it wholeheartedly to others.

I got the Lotus Elise at Rockingham experience as a present for Valentine's Day. It was the best ever!! I got to round the track in a mini cooper then done a few laps myself in the Elise and it was a wet day and I totally spun the car - it was amazing! Then I went round the track with the instructor, I screamed the whole way round it was mad!
