Good stuff first: the welcoming staff, the safety briefing and the instructor were all really good.
Bad stuff: the Caterham Thrill experience was sold as a 2-hour experience discovering the thrill of driving a Caterham round the track.
1. The 'track' was a patch of airfield coned off to make an oval loop, with a slight deviation at one of the ends. The surface itself was made up of two different materials; one was concrete and one covered in a loose grit-like substance. Neither of which were very track-like or suitable for driving fast cars and the instructor even admitted they are both less than perfect. The 'track' took less than 1 minute to complete and can't have been much longer than 800m in total. The spectating area was so far away from the track that they could barely make out what was happening and half the track was obscured from view.
2. The website I bought the experience from stated a 2 hour experience, but the actual experience (driving the Caterham) lasted no more than 6 minutes. The amount of time on the track and length of the track should be stated at point of sale so that people know what to expect when arriving. I feel I was mis-sold the experience and that the product very different to that which was sold to me.
3. Cost: I spent Red Letter Days vouchers on an experience that can be bought a lot cheaper when walking up on the day. The mark-up was 50%, which is disgusting when you consider the product that was sold and my expectations.
