Have been here quite a few times over the years and always had a blast. However my latest experience felt a little different. Back when I used to come here the site was a very humble, basic setup. It gave a very personal feel to the experience, like each one of you were delivered an individual experience. They now have a large building they use, and whilst being very impressive, we were in a large group and shepherded in and out in a very tight space (absolutely no social distancing possible!) after the briefing when we got to the cars it had a business like, conveyor belt feel to it, like you were just another number that day. Putting 4 people in a ride car at the same time also felt strange given Covid (I didn t think you were allowed or advised?) After that as I was only on a thrill experience (different to the full experience) came almost an hours wait, the lady in charge not really giving me much information and just telling me to come back later . I must say once I finally got to drive the McLaren 570s, it was incredible. But the overall day did feel very hollowed out. I think I may try somewhere else next time.
