We brought my 15 yr old son the first drive experience for his birthday. He had a great day and his instructor Dave was very friendly and had a great sense of humour which made the boys in his group at ease. As we watched it made us smile as the 3 boys had big grins on their faces!! My only very small complaint is that we left Oxford at 6.30am and we were looking forward to breakfast but nothing was open at Rockingham racing circuit. But that never stopped a great day - THANKYOU
