“Good fun”
Tony made the experience very enjoyable. Managed to get the car sliding. I had 30 minutes worth of driving in total, due to a massive group of people. I like driving experience days, and have done many before. I think it could be better to have everyone do their half hour with no swap overs, so you don't need to wait for half a day. But really enjoyed it. Thank you

“Average, didn’t find it value for money ”
Were met by a lovely chap at the gate and asked to park until everyone had arrived. We were given a good talk about the day. Then split into two groups of 5 each, and were given turns in our car with the designated trainer. It’s advertised as “Half a day experience”but in reality I must’ve had only 40 minutes driving time all morning. So found that an expensive outing. Also the communication prior to the day wasn’t the best as I was meant to be sent final instructions with Covid regs but didn’t.
