The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is one of the most stunning cars on the road and easily one of Britain's finest. The unrivaled beauty and sleekness of the exterior combined with the sheer drive-ability have catapulted the V8 Vantage to the top of everybody's wish list. It is not too difficult to understand why this beautiful English car is regularly used in blockbusters such as James Bond. Acceleration in the Subaru Impreza STi or Mitsubishi Evolution 8 is truly breathtaking. When all of the elements of a car are tuned and tweaked to optimize performance the result is an absolute monster, step forward both of the world's most successful rally cars ever!

david - 24/10/2009
Found the track and "rally" area a lot smaller than envisaged and the "rally" experience is in reality just handbrake turns but still a lot of fun!
Not sure how they'd acheive this, as the centre is trying to minimise waiting times as much as possible, but I got a lot more from my second drive in the Subaru than the first in the Aston Martin This was almost entirely because I'd benefited from a passenger lap with one of the centre's drivers in between the two drives.
Maybe a passenger lap could be offered as the first in the sequence if the participant indicated they'd be prepared to wait longer for subsequent sections of the experience?
