Silverstone Ferrari Experience

Overview
Silverstone’s come screaming back onto the supercar driving experience circuit, and now you can get behind the wheel of a sleek Ferrari F430 Coupe out on the UK’s only Formula 1 track.
With a 4 litre V8 engine, 400bhp and an acceleration that’ll take your breath away, there are few better cars to take around Silverstone than a Ferrari F430 Coupe. You’ll have plenty of time to get used to the track, so by the end you’ll feel like a pro as you hit top gear and fly past the pits, stands, Grand Prix starting grids and the iconic Silverstone Wing.
You’ll be taught by an ARDS-licensed instructor, just like the racing professionals, who’ll teach you how to take Silverstone’s fast and famous corners such as Stowe, Vale and Abbey. The track might be 15m wide, but if you’re going to maintain top speed round Stowe corner you’ll need an ARDS instructor to hit those racing lines perfectly.

Amazing power
If I could I would do it over and over again!My instructor was absolutely patient and very helpful, really wanted me to push the car, which is really what you are there for. Everyone was really helpful and friendly, there was a great atmosphere and didn't have to wait long to drive. I needed a memory card and everything was organised without problems. A great experience and a great value for money! I want to drive again!!!!

Fab birthday present
My wife bought me the Ferrari experience for my 70th birthday as a surprise. It was a really great experience. Something I have always wanted to do and finally got the chance. The cut off is 70 so it needed to be now

Great experience
This was a 50th birthday gift from my mum and brother. I hadn't been to Silverstone for years, so that was great in itself. I don't suppose I'll ever be lucky enough to own a Ferrari so this was the next best thing! A little dissapointed that the voucher said to allow to be at the venue for 2 hours, but it was actually over in barely an hour. I only got to drive 5 laps, which was over so quickly. Still enjoyed myself and would recommend it.

Exhilarating!
Would definitely recommend it. Only downside is I would have liked more laps. You only get 6-7 or so, and to really get into you need more than 10...

Lovely stuff
Fantastic experience. It is very expensive considering you are only driving for a total of 15mins, however, the 15mins is excellent! Instructors are great, clear and concise. The Ferrari 430 isn't a particularly good car, it's not that fast and they wont let you take off the traction control. I opted for this experience as I wanted to drive Silverstone circuit, which is something I will never forget.

The best and worst
Our day at the track was excellent and a great experience. At the track everything was very well managed, the staff were very helpful and the drive experience lived up to all expectations. Unfortunately everything before that was absolutely disastrous. Having been gifted the voucher we found it very difficult to book a date. Their website was not functioning correctly for bookings, they no longer operate phone lines, emails go unanswered and a letter addressed to their MD was ignored. Awful.

The Event Was Cancelled & Rearranged
Another example of a poor Virgin Experience Day. This is my second that separate event that was cancelled after booking it. Interestingly, the event was cancelled a couple of months ago so its unclear as to why I'm being asked to review it.
