Hi, I was at Knockhill last Saturday for the driving experience in the Ferrari and Aston martin. I just wanted to say thank you for a great experience, the instructors were really great at making me feel at ease and the cars are truly amazing. I also wanted to say a special thank you to graham for making my 83 year old mum's day. Thanks again.

Gordon Shedden Experience - Please pass on a massive thank you to Gordon for last Friday's experience for Grants birthday - he is still buzzing (as are we - but also a bit jealous!) It was a real pleasure to meet an absolute gentleman. All the best for this season in the BTCC

Family chipped in for my special birthday - 4 laps familiarisation, 2 laps by the Pro driver then 6 laps driving a Ferrari F430 coupe - paddle gearshift. Put this on your bucket list. The car is so brilliantly balanced you might even believe you are a talented driver. And the soundtrack... fantastic. Need I say moreâ€¦
