There are a few changes that U Drive could make that would really improve the value and enjoyment of their driving experiences: 1. Improve direction signage around (and on) site 2. Tidy up the reception area - it's looking a bit shabby 3. Get spectators closer to the action. Most people bring wives, GFs, family but they are too far away to feel any sense of participation. Frankly, it's a bit boring for spectators 4. The drives are too short. Offer something longer, obviously at a higher price

Safety briefing was informative but made fun with humour. All very well organised and good to have the option of cheaper drives on the day. Some of the cars weren't as luxury as you would expect on the inside, kind of ruined the moment of getting into a car you could never afford. The track was shirts would have been great to have a few practice laps before your actual laps. The hot lap should be thrown in for everyone, it takes 1 minute and definitely wasn't worth £10, not enough road to really feel the speed and the thrill.

The venue at Heyford Park was very interesting and different which is a positive however the track consists of the end of a disused runway and I felt that it could of been laid out to be a little more challenging as it was essentially just an oval and certainly it could of been longer. A lap could of been no more then about 30-45 seconds long, and I was in a classic mini, so the super car laps must of been even shorter. The instructor I had was great though, he talked through my driving style and let me get the most I could out of the experience.

It was great to drive a 1961 E type!! But it was a very short lived experience - only 5 instead of the supposed 6 laps and the laps are very short. Laid out with cones on a disused airbase, the laps are short and not especially interesting with very narrow and slow corner sections.

I drove the GT500 and it was great especially as I'm looking to buy a classic mustang. The only thing I would say about the day was about the price of the pictures at the end of the experience. The prices were ridiculous for pictures and videos and took a shine off the experience.

Doing six laps in the classic mini was brilliant. The instructor was great to be with and was very helpful and pushed you so you could get the most out of it. However I thought it was a shame that more of the airfield wasn't used to make a better circuit. Because of this,I didn't feel like I got very good value for money

Very disappointed, was supposed to be a special experience (Got the experience for my 40th birthday), once in a life time........The actual instructors, are great, taking safety as their highest priority, but not hindering the experience, so thanks for that. The disappointment was, the girls couldn't find "ANY" of my photo's and out of 3 videos taken, only one was on their system and really they couldn't be bothered!! So even though I upgraded my experience to the 6 laps, I have absolutely NOTHING to remind me of the day. My advice would be, don't rely on their photo/Video promises, make sure you bring someone along to take them for yourself. This will then not only save you money but will make sure you have some media to keep for ever of your experience!

I booked this for my partner for a surprise. It wasn't quite what we expected. Herded like cattle and then a 'roll them in, roll them out' quick quick attitude. Although the cars looked nice from the outside my partner commented on the 'shabbiness' of them inside. The course was extremely short and in our opinion not a safe way of utilising the area as all cars just seemed to be shoved out to make sure the line kept flowing. 6 laps seemed good when booking but being the course was hardly much to go by it was nothing. To put it into perspective my partner drove two cars with 6 laps each. He was over and done with in 3 mins and 4 secs!!!! Nah, although he enjoyed the experience of being in the cars, we definitely wouldn't recommend this course or U Drive Cars again. Perhaps in the future, should I surprise him with anything like this, I will make sure it is a more personal experience with a much longer circuit.

Acceptable day. Slick organisation meant there was not much waiting between drives. Cars well presented and maintained. However, I was less impressed by the "track" which unlike previous experiences, was simply a cone marked 'circuit' on a short section of old airfield runway. Just two short straights, with a 180 degree corner at each end. The experience is fine if you only want the chance to drive more exotic cars, but as a car enthusiast I could have done with something a bit more testing.

The experience was well organised and I did enjoy it but it was far too brief, and only a makeshift track made from cones which was disappointing. I think I will have to save up for a proper track day.

Nice and friendly people, good cars but the "track" is a joke. Whole track was made of cones and very, very short. Not worth the money.

Both staff and cars were very good But the track was disappointing, needed more corners. Also you need to show list of names in public so that people know how long they will wait for. We were waiting and listening to many other people grumble because they just did not know what was happening The wait its self is fine but people like to know where they stand in the queue

The actual driving part was good however a longer track would be better plus the price you pay for a very small length of time i think needs looking into. Regards

U Drive are very organised and friendly, the cars are fabulous but I must say how disappointed I was at the short amount of driving that was actually available... I booked the blast of 2 cars of my choice and a blast around in a hot hatch with a driver. It was advertised as 3 laps each in the car of my choice....I took that as 3 'true' laps of a track but it wasn't, it was a coned area that you drove around and not a real lap so it was over in minutes without getting the chance to get the hang of what you were doing....3 real laps would have given ample time to get that total enjoyment. The blast in a hot hatch was also a quick whizz around the cones and over in seconds. If it had been real laps of a track it would have been excellent.

Great range of cars and enthusiastic co-drivers. Well organised and slick timings so not a lot of waiting around. Disappointed with the track layout being mostly coned as opposed to a proper track and very short so most driving sessions lasted only a few minutes.

Nice cars but thought you would have track to yourself and that circuit would be longer. No time to see what the car can do between corners and have to concentrate on other slower cars on the track. As was Red Letter Deal experience expected something a bit more personalised for the money, but did enjoy it.

Organisation was good, instructors were good and cars were good although Mitsubishi had big crack in screen. Circuit was disappointingly short and being just laid out with cones wasn't interesting. The 6 laps were over in a flash. Total experience of 3 cars x 6 laps in each took less than 45 minutes. Good organisation as I say because wasn't waiting long between drives but overall I think poor value for money.

The drive was excellent and instructor was really good. However my video was not recorded on the USB due to 'technical difficulties' so disappointed at the end.
