“A well organised day. All the cars were in good condition, the instructors were excellent and all the staff were friendly and helpful. A great day out. On a wet day it would be very crowded in the limited space undercover.”

“Lovely cars and staff are very friendly, only down side the track which was a bit on the short side but overall a wicked experience”

“the driving experience itself was an amazing experience, but, i was booked into the 1PM slot and didn't get near the car until 1.55 PM, the driving was all over within 10 minuets, included in my package was a hot lap, it wasn't specified at any point what car this would be in, assuming it would be in the car my driving experience was in but with the instructor driving it, it wasn't, the wait for this then was another hour, several instructors were standing around including the instructor who previously did the hot lap in this car, but no one did anything about it, when asked i was simply brushed aside to make room for the new customers who pay on the day and somehow get priority over customers who have booked online months in advance. the track itself is a boring flat oval, marked out with some cones, driving this consists of accelerating, braking, turn left and do the same all over again, the straights arn't even long enough to get any decent speed out of the car. the photos at the end of the session are all the same as each other with the car being photographed with the camera not even level. there's no opportunity to look at the cars before or after the event.”

“What an excellent driving experience. The whole morning was well organised, the cars were in great condition and the instructors clearly very experienced. I drove the Aston Martin DB9 and the E-type Jaguar, which was a great comparison between an amazing automatic gear box and unbelievable braking - in the Aston - and a really pleasurable but still fast and testing drive in the E-Type. The hot lap was a real eye opener as well... All in all it just confirmed what I already knew, if I could afford any car in the world it would be a classic sports car like the E-type.”

“As you are probably aware i drove a Big Healey 3000. The experience was unforgettable I wanted to own one when I was young but this was as near as I will get. The pre drive briefing was very good and proffessional. The instructor was very good and was soon aware that I was capable of driving the car. The thing that spoiled for me somewhat was the circuit. The straits being somewhat short to get the type of car up to top speed before having to brake (OK for lambos and ferraris though)> The corners were challenging but would have liked chicane on the circuit. I had six laps but unfortunately someone had wiped out most of the top corner on the third circuit so had to somewhat tiptoe round there. Any chance devising a better method other than cones ? Nether the less a brilliant day in brilliant surroundings Thank you.”

“Excellent day out. We bought a passenger ride in two cars for my disabled brother. The staff were brilliant and very friendly and the drives were really well organised. The venue was accessible for manual wheelchairs although I'm sure the staff would be very helpful in organising access for an electric wheelchair. However there is no disabled toilet on site, the nearest being at either the Bicester shopping village or Cherwell services on junction 10 on the M40 both about ten minutes away. The staff were very helpful getting my brother in and out of the cars and there was plenty of time for photos and chatting about the cars pre drive. Overall a really great experience and well worth the money!”

“I have done a number of super-car and rally experiences and this was better than most. Positives: Easy administration. The classic Healey and Porsche were beautifully prepared. The circuit was large enough to exploit the cars' performance. A unique opportunity to experience a truly different driving experience. Opportunities: The coned oval circuit was not as interesting as other airfield circuits with natural corners. The cost with Saturday premium was a bit high, hence four rather than five stars.”

“I brought the car experience as a gift to my husband. We all had a thoroughly wonderful morning out. My husband thought the driving experience was superb! Upper Heyford facilities and staff were fantastic. We will definitely book again. Thank you for a great experience!”

“Very good day at convenient location with scrumptious eating nearby. Administration and briefing efficient and effective. Wide range of cars using track fluently. My Caterham drive thoroughly exhilarating. A memorable time. Thank you.”

“Had a lovely morning driving an e-type jag. The morning was well organised, and good fun. The photos on disk, and in a presentation card frame, were very professional. It was a shame my in-car video didn't work and there was only a minute and a half of video. I should have asked for it but never mind. Not a smooth car, compared to today's vehicles, but it looked and sounded good. Overall though a very good time, it seemed to be over so quickly even though I had 6 laps. Would recommend it to others and would be happy to do it again.”

“Really had an enjoyable day. The co drivers were very pro-active in pushing you to drive the car to the limits, and within the parameters of the track and I felt very comfortable & at ease with their experience, knowledge & continual instruction as to how to make the most of the driving experience. The cars were in very good condition & I'll certainly be thinking very seriously about doing this again next year.”

“Very organised.with good information. Excellent tutor. Fabulous experience driving the E-Type. Wish it could have been longer as the laps were very short - basically just a sprint followed by a hairpin.”

“I am 75 years old and have been driving for 54 years in a variety of vehicles from aircraft towing tractors to Minis. My current car is a Jaguar 3 litre XF. I was given this Jaguar E-type Thrill as a Christmas present and having never been to event like this I had expectations of an interesting day. I am sorry to say that the experience did not live up to my expectations. My "Thrill" was at 4 pm and I arrived just before 3 pm. Reception was OK, apart from the fact that you had my surname incorrect, but after that there was little to do, and nowhere to sit until the briefing at 3:40 pm. Briefing was OK but the disappointment started when I went on the familiarisation bus ride and discovered how short the circuit was. Our group then went back to the Pits and stood in the drizzle waiting for our drives. I was second in the E-type and after the briefing by the instructor we went out on to the circuit. Driving round the circuit was not difficult and it was a good experience but it soon became apparent how short the circuit really was. It was so short that on both of the straights I was still accelerating at about 65 mph in 3rd gear when we got to the Brakes board for the next corner. (I didn't know how fast we were going because the speedo needle was swinging wildly, something I haven't seen for many years.) Six laps on this course were not enough. I think it would be better if the length of the circuit was doubled and the number of laps reduced to four. When we returned to the Pits the instructor said "Well done" and handed me my card. I was expecting more in the way of feedback and was not sure what "Well done" meant. Was I good or bad. I thought that £20 for a CD of the photos was expensive and £35 for the movie even more so. There were 10 photos and they all seemed to have been taken from the same point on the circuit. When I gave my card and memory stick to the man who was making the CDs he said "Only 5 laps?" because the instructor had drawn only four vertical lines and one horizontal line on the card. He then said "Oh, no, it's six", but it still looks like five to me. One final thing. As a restorer of 1960's railway carriages for a Heritage Railway I do not like what you have done to the front of what has been described as the most beautiful sports car ever. ...Trevor Nicholson”

“This was by far one of the best customer-service experiences I've had. I was bought the Experience day as Birthday Gift, unfortunately the one I wanted wasn't suitable for me because my partial disability meant I couldn't use the clutch pedal effectively on a Drift car. I was offered the pick of any similarly-priced Experience Day, and chose the 5-SuperCars at Heyford Park. On the day, every member of staff at U-drive were amazing - from the ladies at reception, the manager, the drivers and tutors. Everyone was incredibly helpful, good natured and very flexible in arranging cars and the scheduling to suit me. The track was fairly short but it was good for learning to drive at race speeds without having to devote all your concentration on 'which corner is this?' I had a great time, learned a lot and will definitely be booking another day before winter.”

“Had a good day, everything was organised very well. Staff were all excellent and the actual driving experience was great. I chose to drive the iconic e type Jaguar. Loved every minute. Would recommend you to anyone.”
