Aston Martin Driving Experience
I had a great time and got to drive a DB9 back to back with a V8 Vantage. I’m thinking of buying an Aston and this was the best possible test drive! The venue was amazing - it was the Top Gear Test Track! The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. It was a grim, rainy day, but they were really accommodating and were happy to switch packages around to suit the conditions. I can thoroughly recommend this Experience!

I’m not a petrolhead but what an experience
I’m not really into supercars as they are overpriced and sometimes overrated and not practical to own or drive each day, but if you get a chance to give one a blast round the Dunsfold track, then give it a go, you won’t be disappointed. There were a large number of people there on the day I went, so quite a bit of hanging around. The check in process went ok, so did the demo laps and the hot lap at the end which my partner also took part in. The only issue (small) was collecting photos and video

Brilliant experience!
I have waited years(but why?) to drive an Aston..a great car,wonderful drive....Five glorious laps preceded by two familiarisation laps as a passenger in a Subaru(NO comparison whatsoever!!)..but very informative and helpful. The pre-drive talk,2 lap instructor and my coach in the Aston(Geoff.i think?)..were very helpful,friendly and essential! 10/10 experience..Thank you!

Great Driving Session
Once the formalities were administered the coaching driver introduced the controls of the Vantage V8 This was my first time driving a Flappy Paddle gearbox The track was obviously a short one which was an oval with a small blips on the long straights. I had a great Drive and enjoy the experience. The tutor was very encouraging and gave concise instructions. I will be driving another Aston on a track soon.

Few recommendations
Had a 50th birthday present from my daughter so was exited to try out the Aston. Was meant to go to castle Coomber but don’t have the car for the day. Went to Exeter airfield.directions were ok found easy enough.booking in was not complicated. Riders briefing was in a tent right next to a generator and to the back of the booking in tent so it was hard to hear the briefing. Maybe separate the tents by a few feet. Car was fun airfield was poor set up very rough track, poor cones

A Brilliant day out.
Although I had a brilliant day out, I'm a bit frustrated that I was unable to take the DB9 to its maximum becauseI felt that the straight part of the track was to short.

Drive
I've just had the Aston Martin experience and it was great from the off really well organised no messing around. I got signed in and straight into the team talk what todo and what not to. We had about five minutes wait then a quick couple of laps to get familiar with the course then another five to ten minute wait then into the driving the instructors are really good and just want you to have the best time possible so I'll definitely be booking up another session.

It was ok
Had a good day driving an Aston Martin. Although car looked tired on interior but had good tuition and car performed well. Huge queue for photograph so had to leave without it as had a lunch booking.

Good but!
The drive in the Aston Martin was everything I hoped it would be, great car, good instructor and a great experience. The general organisation on the day was poor with a lot of waiting even thougth the staff were doing there best. I was disappointed that the demo laps were carried out with three and the instructor in a car and I was cramped in the back and found it difficult to see and hear the instruction, not what I expected and let the day down.

Disorganised
Looking forward to the day. Arrived early only to be barked at that it didn’t start yet and will have to wait. Nice start. After booking in which was a shambles (blamed on a paperwork issue). Drivers briefing was more of a last ditched sales pitch. Was then told to book in with one of the coordinators to arrange the drive. Only one lady with a clipboard who was trying her utmost to knit fog. Waited for nearly 1 hour and eventually got to drive the car. Instructor was a great bloke.

Drove my dream car
The experience of driving the car was amazing and the car was perfect, however I was very disappointed that the in car filming did not work and they didn’t seem bothered about it. Just told me I’d get it refunded with no apology. I really wanted the experience filmed! Also there was no opportunity of getting a photo with the car, it seemed rushed. They should stand back and note that this is a dream for most people and they are sharing this dream with them.

Certainly an experience!
Well run and excellent staff - especially Steve who was my passenger and worked all the things I couldn't. Short track with no real straight so unable to put the Aston through its paces but still enjoyable.

Aston Martin Thrill Day
My husband purchased the above treat for my Birthday as I love Aston Martins. The "Day" is far from a day, more minutes. It felt like a conveyer belt waiting for your turn. The car inside looked like it had better days, which spoilt the experience. The track was "busy" with other people having their experience. I would not recommend. I think I'll just have a test drive with Aston Martin to enjoy the luxury of the car and the experience.

aston martin experience
It was raining, after some time they did put a cover up. I was taken out round some bollards, which I thought was leading out to a track ,only to find that was not the case. The first time round the course I took it steady thinking it was giving me time to get used to the car before going onto a track. This was not the case. I went round the bollards for a second time and finished. As this was a present from my son, for my 70th , I was rather disappointed as it wasn't what I expected

People were very professional and pleasant. Overall, I didn't feel the experience justified the cost but at the end of the day I did get to drive an Aston Martin. Would have liked more laps.

Not great
The whole experience was about how much money they could extract from you in as little time as possible. I drove Aston Martin DB11 - fantastic car - but 4 laps later (additional 2 laps I had to pay for) I felt short changed as the experience is over in a few minutes. If you choose to take this experience, do not pay for extra cover as you very very unlikely to damage the car, and ensure you print your car park pass, as I was charged £10 for a piece of paper to display on my windscreen. Rip off!

Major disappointment
What a rip off. Having bought the experience had to pay extra for insurance, a lap around the track before the actual drive and u could also buy photographs or a video recording of the drive. Total cost of which is the same as the experience itself. Booked a slot which was an hour late. The car looked about 5-10 years old and was real dirty. Huge huge disappointment..
