Double Movie Car Driving Blast with a High Speed Passenger Ride 10277546

THE WEATHER COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT THE ORGANISATION WAS SUPERB. THE INSTRUCTORS WERE GREAT, LETTING YOU GO AS FAST AS YOU WERE CAPABLE. WHICH WAS PRETTY QUICK

I was given a smart box for christmas and decided to use it on a driving experience. It should be noted that the smarbox codes do not actually work with the car chase heroes site and I had to phone buyagift to get a different code to use. Booking was a nightmare. Only select dates are given so by the time I was able to make one of the days, I has to pay to extend my voucher. Not only that, but I was told my nearest track was a premium track so had to pay extra for that. Extra on the day for a damage waiver. Extra for a sighting lap which was honestly useless and not really as explained. There is no shelter at all on the track which is fine if the weather is clear or even cold but when its pouring down with rain, I got soaked. Drive was meant to be at 1230 but I didn't actually get in until 2pm. No apologies for being late despite being told numerous times during the day that it was a quiet day. The cars are fine. Drove a lambo which had a broken door...not really great. Instructor with me was so uninterested and not really helpful. Drove a second car on the day, which was my dream car of a skyline. Instructor was better however the gears stick and therefore was not really able to drive properly. Also, the way the track is set out with cones everywhere, it's hard to pick up speed so I felt like driving miss daisy. Photos/videos are very pricey but I paid for them, only to receive corrupted files. Honestly, one of the poorest experiences I've had. Thoroughly disappointed.

My wife purchased this gift for me for my birthday, what an amazing experience. The venue was easy to get to and the staff onsite were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this and will definitely be doing this myself again. !!!

I drove the cars as seen is Knight Rider and Dukes of Hazard, great instructors very friendly. Abingdon Track not as good as Castle Coombe which is a proper racing track whereas Abingdon is airfield, nevertheless it is quite testing at speed. Organisation getting people into cars got a bit hectic with some drivers sitting for 1.5 hours. They were forgotten. The damage waiver is said to be voluntary but you are put under a lot of pressure if you say no. You are then told that is someone else hits you even though it is not your fault, then £5000 will be taken from your credit card. If it is that essential then it should be automatically included in the voucher such that any extras on the day are to drive other cars or get high speed rides.

Good: • Staff were generally polite, friendly & helpful • Drivers who take you around the track are brilliant • Performance cars are great fun Not so good: • Family & friends cannot get anywhere near to take photos etc.(Abingdon Airfield Circuit) • You are press ganged into paying the insurance with threats of a £5k charge at their discretion • American Muscle Cars are poorly maintained • You are kept waiting for hours in between rides

I’ve booked several experiences with buyagift.com especially car experiences as you get some brilliant deals. It took several months for my Mr to choose the cars he wanted to drive! We got there in the end! On the day one of the cars had broken down the GT40, so he had to choose another one. The Audi R8 V10 was fully booked so had to choose the V8 instead. The General Lee was awesome to drive. On his score cards he got 89/100 and 90/100 so he done good! The High Speed Passenger Ride was scary and amazing! The driver wasn’t shy with the accelerator and threw the car into those bends!!! Not for the faint hearted that’s for sure! We was lucky with the weather as it was just perfect sunny and warm. We had the experience at the Abingdon track and we drove up from London. There was no sign posts for the track and the postcode takes you too the army entrance so be warned! Also there’s no way to take photos of your friends or loved ones of them in the cars, so take a lens kit, so it means buying the over priced photos at £25 each. It don’t warrant this price, sorry! We had a good day though

Wonderful day full of amazing cars. Friendly people and well organised

It was a good day but it was a little unorganized and you seemed to ha e to wait for a long time to actually drive. The time slots you booked were not really adhered to but it was a good day.

Really enjoyed the experience. Will do it again but more laps

A great gift purchased for me by my wife. It was a fairly simple process to arrange the booking, with plenty of suitable locations and availability. The experience was run by CarChaseHeroes.com. There were a huge range of cars to choose from (only some at extra cost), so much so it was hard to select just two! I opted for a novelty older model (Pontiac Firebird Transam) and a more modern option (Camaro). Whilst the modern car was fantastic, it was a boyhood dream come true to be behind the wheel of 'KITT' - or at least a very good replica, including bonnet scanner and interior cabin. The location I chose (Abingdon airfield) was easy to find and a great location for a blast; 3 laps per car is not much time to get to know the vehicles particularly well. The circuit was easy to navigate around; the instructors were very helpful; and the whole event was managed very effectively and pretty efficiently. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely do it again... but in which vehicles?! I would highly recommend to those who love cars of the TV and big screen. Notes: 1. I found purchasing a sighting passenger ride helpful to understand the track and enhance the actual driving experience. 2. Insurance waivers usually need to be purchased in addition to the contents covered by the voucher (I was able to arrange online but they could also be purchased on the day of the event). 3. Extra laps and additional vehicles to drive could be purchased online - and some on the day - for a reasonable additional value. 4. Photos and videos were available, but not cheap.
