What can I say.. Totally overwhelming experience.

Booked a driving experience for my partner Kathryn Moores birthday and it was excellent. She loved every minute of it. Well organised and truly fantastic driving experience that will be very hard to beat anywhere..

What put the icing on the cake was how I was treat.

Being disabled after a serious motorcycle accident has left me unable to do the things I used to... At no point did I expect to be whisked round the track at racing pace by one of your instructors.

I'd like to thank the guys that helped me in and out of the Caterham and especially Ian for driving so well it made me feel truly alive again.. I actually started to cry with emotion.. You've given myself and my girlfriend one of the best days we've had since my accident.

Thank you so so much. The fee that you wouldn't take off me will be added to our Air Ambulance fund.

Keep up the good work... Dick. ��

User

Thank you very much for today. The hubby's ultimate driving experience. The staff were brilliant and each instructor really friendly and helpful. I've had to put up with him talking about it all day. Especially the fact he got A's and even A+ which apparently don't get given out "often". Is this actually correct, because I'm being squeezed out of the room by his big head!!! Haha. Seriously a great day and absolutely amazing cars

User

My local circuit. I've been coming here since a was a child and vaguely remember what it used to be like! I particularly remember when the rallycross cars like the RS200 and Will Gollops Metro 6R4 were blasting around and also the European round they held, Martin Schanche was there fir that one! I love this place to bits!

User

Just enjoyed a great weekend at the BTCC meeting. Big screens much appreciated on the Sunday. PA system not great though. Inaudible at many points around the circuit. Commentary available on FM radio as it is at many other circuits would be great...

User

I still like you even if you did black flag me �

User

I arrived at Croft for the Super-car Heaven (British Sports Cars program) a bit nervous when I saw the track with so many people on it at once and worrying about weather or not I would bump into another car but the instructors at the site were very helpful in telling me what to do and what to be aware of and I did everything told me to do. And with that I went fast and got some good reviews on my assessment car. All in all I had an Excellent day out and I would do it again in the Italian Super-cars next time and I would recommend anyone to try the Super-car Heaven Event at Croft Circuit.

User

Had the most amazing day on the Ultimate Supercar Experience, loved driving every single car all for different reasons. Loved Bobs safety briefing could have listened to him all day. A special thanks to Hutch for my time in the Ginetta and then my fast passenger laps, you made my day. Came away from the day with some amazing experiences and memories as well as fantastic photos. The staff and instructors made the day so enjoyable and stress free so i could focus on the fun. Thank you

User

Great weekend again like every year, but put a complaint in regarding the security Saturday night security car turn up like starsky and hutch I was in my Tent my wife asleep a head popped in my Tent turn your flashing lights off and there has been a complaint of a lot if noise I get up and said we are in bed and the campsite was in darkness and peaceful until security woke the whole camp up, they said that noise from the end tent music and flashing lights the end tent was quite and had a 66year old lady on her own, found out the next day there was a party going on a bit further up in another area and it had flashing lights and it was an end tent.....i think that security should assess the situation before acting and yes I turned my little flashing lights off

User

Great place viewing is fab and love the different events on all year

User

First time there, won’t be my last

User

Brilliant circuit for watching the BTCC love going there every year

User

Brill time loved the racing will be back for btcc

User

Always great action at this superb circuit, whether it’s Touring Cars or Rallycross!!

User

I have been going to the venue since I was a child.The circuit is fine and the facilities are adequate but the price of food is getting to the same levels as silverstone.the grandstand hasn’t been updated in years.a few pounds invested in the spectator experience wouldn’t go amiss.

User

Grand Prix Rallycross - always a great days motorsport and Croft does an excellent job of putting on the event (and others). However, still after many years, struggles with getting the cars offsite at the end of the day.

User

Good racing, facilities etc, but traffic management not good.

Those of us who arrived earlier seemed to be punished for our efforts by being sent to a field way at the back, I may as well have been parked at Oulton Park!

The "trained" monkeys who were directing traffic should have been filling the front car park opposite Hawthorn before subjecting people to a trek from the rear field, where I witnessed several people complaining of being blocked in as at least one of the high viz morons hadn't paid attention to where they were sending people.

I'd strongly advise against using Mckenzie Arnold's "services" again.

User

Good circuit with good views but they need to put The catering vans back down beside the stand on the first corner

User

So it was something I was really looking forward to. Having done this a few times before at different circuits and we had a nice hot day to boot. So we had our briefing and went out with the instructor first to learn the course then the Porsche good fun. then the Ginetta. Which there was only one running at the time so had a bit of a wait as other people were before us. Then my mate went before me still waiting when another instructor turns up and say we can take that one. Ok I thought until half way round the first lap and the throttle stuck on fully. I was a little bit miffed as the instructor first didn’t understand me or couldn’t here me then sort of blamed me for keeping the throttle on. Anyway back to the pits but someone else was in the the other car. Never mind I would go out in the single seater then go back for my other laps later. First lap out in the single seater building my speed up and coming into the braking area as instructed and the front wheel sheared clean off and sent me of the track and into the grass. Car was recovered and made my way back to the pits to were I was greeted by 2 staff who in not so many words thought that was my fault and seemed a little p###ed off with me hang on YOUR wheel came off? So eventually I got in another car and did my full 5 laps. After finishing my wife was really annoyed that the staff before I had got back the first time told her I had taken the wheel off. Not oh no I think he’s fine not sure what’s happened but no his fault again. So after a lot of waiting because of lots there and not so many cars nearly killing me twice at no fault of my own people blaming me for something I haven’t done and still waiting for my laps in the Ginetta. We left.

Not sure I would do Croft again.
