Stephanie, you are a shining ambassador for your company, so if I need to book anything else or anyone asks me, I will recommend you and your company....I am a stickler for customer service (Mary Portas is my hero!) and you have certainly gone the extra mile to help, which rarely happens.

Lotus Elise Experience

Take the wheel of a gorgeous Lotus Elise for some high-speed race track driving you will never forget! An expert instructor will take you through your paces and then you put pedal to metal for the absolute drive of your life. Available in Lancashire or Derbyshire.

Enjoy handling a British manufacturing legend with a motorsport heritage in our Lotus Elise experience.

Learn advanced driving techniques and sports car handling skills in a 12 mile session on a challenging course. Before jumping in the driving seat of the Lotus Elise, our instructor will familiarise you with the track in a Mini Cooper ‘S’ after a 20 minute briefing.

During each turn and break, our fully qualified instructor will join you, teaching you controlled skills that will leave you gripping onto the steering wheel. After releasing your inner sports car driver, your session will end with a debriefing session highlighting skills and techniques mastered during your Lotus Elise experience.

Choose between our Lancashire or Derbyshire tracks but make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.

"Not Great....."

The Three Sisters "Race Track" is small, with few facilities on site. The Lotus Experience itself was barely that, there was no time given to get comfortable in the driving seat and the seat couldn't be adjusted for the shorter person. The Helmet in such a small car was a nightmare. I know safety first, but the circuit is so small you can't actually gain any reasonable speed - it is purely about the cornering. In my personal opinion, not worth the money at all and don't believe the info they provide about the track - it's over exaggerated!
