the experience was good but there was a lot there on the same day, thought i would of had more time in the car and the circuit would of been bigger and I thought the fast lap would of been in the Aston not the Evo. that was the disappointing part of the day, enjoyed the day but could of been better. I cant remember the date earlier this year some time

Stephen - 26/10/2009
The experience was fantastic, thank you to all concerned.
One small point was there was a delay from the 10.00am booking time to the actual start time due to the session starting 30 minutes later than scheduled that became 40 minutes by time my event started.
