My girlfriend got me the car experience as a birthday present. The R34 Skyline is my dream car and I always wanted to be able to drive one. As far as I am aware, Car Chase Heroes were the only company who offered this. I chose to do 4 laps in the R35 Nismo and R34 Skyline at Tockwith to compare the differences between the two... and I loved every second of it.
As you will notice, most of the bad reviews are from 2017 or earlier, and more people leave bad reviews than good ones.
I arrived 10 minutes early, was greeted by friendly and kind staff, who are all car people, signed my forms and was booked in to brief in under 15 minutes (there were about 30 other drivers there and this was all done efficiently on their iPad system). Getting to watch other people shoot past the track until it was my turn, the staff regularly checked in with me and other drivers, the facilities were great (toilets, coverage, food van) until I was called to the seat as the next driver.
My first experience was the R35 Nismo with a chap named Morgan, who sat with me for 5 minutes having a general chat before setting off and gave me some tips for the R34 too, explaining how they were different (steering, breaks etc.). He was an amazing instructor, lets you know what gears you should be in to get the best experience and lets you plant your foot on the straights!
After that, and the biggest grin, was a short wait for the R34. My instructor this time was Andy, who explained the cars characteristic’s well and made sure I was comfortable before setting off. Again, great experience. He assessed how comfortable I was with the gear changes, let me plant my foot on the straights and gave me cornering advice throughout.
I would highly, highly recommend going on this experience yourself or booking it for a loved one as they will have a great time.
Thanks again guys and I will be booking again!
