Steve Grimshaw,
Talk about supercars, this was amazing! Rather than just driving a Ferrari or something like what I was expecting when my girlfriend gave me this gift experience voucher for a "Performance Car Experience" I got to drive a whole range of incredible sports cars! Porsche, Ferrari (of course), a speedy rally type Subaru, a Lotus Elise and best of all the Bond mobile - Aston Martin! Class day, driving those beauties - priceless.

I was like a kid in a sweet shop on this driving experience day! They let me drive supercar after supercar - not sure which was the most incredible to drive, the Ferrari, the Aston Martin or the Porsche! Worth every last penny - beyond doubt!

My Performance Car Experience in Oxfordshire was a fantastic day that I will never forget. The cars were in fabulous condition and the instructors were really nice people. We had lots fun as well as a great driving experience. Each car had its own individuality and I felt I was given the chance to push myself to quite a high standard- far beyond my wildest dreams. I would recommend this experience to everybody!

I was given this by my wife as a birthday present as I am a motor sport fanatic. I was looking at buying a C4s or F355 but wanted to know which would be best for track use as well as every day driving. As the performance car day has an excellent variety of cars, this was the perfect gift for me.
The day started with a short briefing by the safety staff and then we were put into 5 groups of 4 people. The way it worked is that each group takes one car, say the GT3 which we had first. You then get a quick introduction to the car by the diving instructor telling you about gear changes brakes and power. Then you each go one by one in the car for 3-4 laps around the track with the instructor telling you the best line and when to brake and accelerate. After all 4 people in the group have been around then you swap to the next car. I personally thought this was a very good way to get maximum people around without long waits. In between driving the cars you are able to wait casually with family and friends in the paddock area. This also gets them involved in the day as well, there was lots of super cars around to look at all day.
The instructors were brilliant and I have to say most have nerves of steel. They certainly push you to get maximum speed around the track and give you a lot of confidence to drive these cars at quite extreme speeds. If you have never been in a car with 400BHP and which stops on a ten pence piece then this will give you the biggest smile ever. If, however, you do drive cars of this power then you will still have the biggest smile ever as you will drive these cars faster around the track than you would think possible, truly amazing. One thing I will say is take your first lap slowish and admire the inside of the car. I didn’t and went nuts around the track grinning but after I couldn’t remember what the dials even looked like, also get someone else to drive you home as you will be too wired with adrenaline to drive safely yourself.
I would recommend
