Ariel Atom 300 Driving Thrill for One 1021387

It was wrong that the entry people put the frighteners on you with regard to insurance. I was told that a scratch or even a windscreen chip would be expensive but an Atom does not have one and after the drive there was no in inspection of the car what so ever. The car itself was hardly in pristine condition, I was ripped off. The whole 15 minute experience cost me over £20 more and then they had the audacity to ask me to pay for the headphones inside the helmet, an extra £2. The experience was spoiled by them only wanting to make more money.

Unbelievable. I did not know it was possible to accelerate that fast and stop so quickly and I used to be a mad biker. The hot lap was an education and you see why the Atom has full harness seat belts when you are lifted right out of your seat. I had 6 laps but you need more since I did not realise what the car could really do until after the hot lap. I would suggest doing the hot lap first. Overall an incredible experience.

Such a great time out on the track especially when Stuart Mcleanne took me out in the Clio to show me how fast a hot hatch can go!

What a thrilling ride. Came off shaking. Excellent day out

Fantastic experience

Carver Barracks isn't a bad track for any car to race on, but has a limited number of proper corners. It's essentially a large square but with comes to mimic most of the bends. There are a lot of cars in track together, and you may have to pullover (i.e. slow down) to let to professional drivers go past on hot laps. Booking times not much use as it's really first come first served. Two of the three Atoms were driven by instructors for hot laps, so a bit of a wait to use the lone Atom to drive. Also cameras were playing up, so more waiting to fix them. Bit of an assembly line too, but great once you're out. You won't be able to push the car with some instructors as they break for you far too early. I suppose some people are too enthusiastic, so they have to at times until they know your level. Some do let you push hard though, and steam past the supercars. Facilities ok, some rain shelter and food van. Photos and videos around £45 for both so be prepared to fork out more, and £25 for insurance.

Mega pleased with this gift from my lovely better half, really enjoyed driving the Arial Atom 300 great fun and VERY fast.The only thing better was the demo drive with when their professional racing driver drove me round, WOW out of this world the skill of these guys really is out of this world. Thanks for a fantastic day out.

Excellent gift & a great afternoon at Brans Hatch

It was very well organised and the only thing that let it down was the weather. I was booked in to a ride in the Ariel Atom but could only do 2 laps due to blizzards. The organisers arranged for me to do two laps in another car which was much appreciated. It was a great experience and was only let down by the weather, it would be nice if more dates available.

What a buzz!
