I had 3 Aston Martins booked with high speed lap & Bat Mobile booked with high speed lap.
The day started with a DB5 which I’ve always been a fan from a kid due to James Bond, unfortunately this wasn’t a DB5 as advertised & was a kit car that however was pretty good based on a Honda I was told.
2nd was a V8 Vantage, this was a fantastic drive & staff member in the car was brilliant.
3rd was a V12 This experience started with the staff member telling me “today is an experience day & not a day to drive this car fast” he kept telling me to slow down when I was going 1/2 the speed I was doing in the V8. The V12 was in a tidied condition however was still an experience.
The Bat mobile was definitely an experience & I feel sorry for anyone else that had paid money for this experience.
I knew the Bat Mobile was going to be a kit car as Iv seen many before however this one was built by a man in shed a long time ago & was falling apart.
It had no bubble windscreens which had clearly been removed at some point so I was told to put their helmet on that other people had been wearing which wasn’t a
good start. I wasn’t bothered that it was left hand drive as I suspected it would be however it should be stated before booking. The staff member took a few attempts to close the drivers door as it wouldn’t catch properly & was hanging off. There were loose screws hanging out which I made a joke to the staff member & started winding them in with my fingers. It took 5-6 attempts for the staff member & myself to engage drive but finally got there.
It drove awful & didn’t have enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding & had the turn circle of an ocean liner whist the steering didn’t feel connected to the wheels as you could steer side to side without the wheels going anywhere.
This was certainly “an experience” which I never want to experience again even it was offered free.
Finally was my high speed passenger rides. I had 2 separate ones booked as the Aston Martin experience came with one & the Bat Mobile did however I was only offered 1 lap in a BMW which the first corner was very fast but that was it as we were stuck behind other drivers on the Elvington track. The driver did proceed to pass them on the far right on a short straight only to catch up with other slow drivers, the driver did apologise saying that wasn’t really a high speed ride.
This was the only high speed ride I was given despite booking & paying for 2.
We then went to see the photos & videos that were taken as each car recorded using a card I was given except for the Bat Mobile.
I wanted to purchase the full video & photo pack of the day which from memory was about £45. I was mostly looking forward to the video of the V8 Vantage as that was the best experience of the day but surprise surprise the camera didn’t record any of it. I was offered to buy the other 2 videos which I watched showing the staff member in the V12 continuously telling me to slow down.
The lad behind the desk offered me a free photo if I bought the video footage but I declined.
Left that morning with mixed feelings, mainly disappointed as we had booked several nice cars. I won’t be spending money on these again as my previous Lamborghini experiences I’d had was much different with another company.
Scored 2 as the DB5 however was a kit car wasn’t a bad experience & the V8 Vantage put a huge smile on my face however everything else was disappointing. The waiting times I felt was good as we got there at 8.30am & was busy.
