Brilliant video Matt. I have worked as an instructor in this industry for over 5 years over a few different companies. What you recommend is spot on. I like to think that I give people a taste of what the cars are about and hopefully give them a day that will live long in the memory. Whenever we come back into the pits I always ask what they thought about it. The answer I always hope for is "that was f**king brilliant, sorry I don't normally swear" and I usually do get something like that. I'm a very vocal instructor always saying when to brake, how much, when to turn in, how much throttle to use and when to change gear. All the cars are different and have strengths and weaknesses and this enables the driver to get the most out of it. The only time I really have an issue is when someone thinks they're on a race experience day, as you say these are definitely not. If that's was someone is looking for they need to go somewhere like Palmer Sport and they'll be all too pleased to assist. I think their prices start from around £900 per days tuition.
Hi Mark, thank you for the comment I really appreciate it. I think you are absolutely right, about instruction, being one of the biggest reasons why someone has a good time. I have heard a lot of people recommend Palmer Sport and I must try it one day when I have saved my pennies! Thanks again for writing and I am glad you as an instructor can validate some of what I have said, so hopefully adds some credibility to those watching the video.
@@saimanideepb Done Thruxton a few times. It’s a really quick circuit so once you are up to speed so you don’t get any big accelerations. The quality of the cars is much better than the others. The track can get busy so a morning slot was better for me. It’s definitely one of the higher quality experiences.
Thanks Matt. Good to get your tips. I've been given a triple driving legends blast + HSPR with Everyman. I've been to a couple of circuits before (not with Everyman). Any tips re car choice?
Having three cars is definitely the way to go. What have you driven before. I have used triples to drive three cars from the same brand? Also I’ll have a look on the website once you let me know what you have driven before and come back with some thoughts. Thanks for the message. Matt
Lots of good advice. I did a 4 car experience at Everyman Prestwold a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I wish I had done more than 2 laps in each car, as you mention as you are just getting going. Was a Saturday and I did get there early. It was busy but they kept flowing people through. Only disagreement with one thing you said - the instructors encouraged me to go fast through the corners!
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment. Glad the video was useful. So instructors are better than others and if you got a few good ones even better. Hopefully you have caught the bug now!
Amazing information!!! Cheers👍🏻 I was looking forward to these sessions. Now after watching your video I think I might not. Can you recommend something like a maximum attack track session in fast cars in the UK
Hi thanks for the comment! The best experiences I have done in the UK are Palmersport, Mercedes Benz world AMG experiences, and Porsche experience centre Silverstone are all top draw for the amount of time in car and the range of things you cover. Not cheap but in my opinion are doing all of these experience days well worth the money. In reality in other peoples cars there will always be an element of control exercised. Hope this helps and your experience doesn't disappoint! Matt
Hello matey, firstly I’m not surprised. Secondly have you paid and they won’t refund, thirdly did you try and raise this on the day. This is such a shame.
Thanks for the question. The nearest one to you is Dunsfold or Goodwood. Dunsfold is the cheaper end of the spectrum but has the biggest range of cars. Goodwood is a great circuit but the experiences are more expensive but you do get more driving time. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for putting this together. Saves a TON of money and time. Some golden advice right there
No worries. Glad it was useful. Hope you end up finding the right experience.
@@mattbindon I am thinking of doing the Thruxton Circuit. What do you think?

@@mattbindon Sounds good to me. High speed should be thrilling plus the quality of the cars will be an added bonus. Cheers
@@saimanideepb No worries. Hope you enjoy it. In case you shop at Tesco you can use Clubcard vouchers for some experiences as well!

Hello, do you know if a tourist with an international driving license and another country’s license can get to experience this or not!
Hi thanks for the comment I am not sure if they would accept this. The customer services for the ones I have spoken to have been very helpful.
I went to a car chase in July. they failed to make a video recording for BOTH the cars that I had driven. What is the best way round this?
Hello matey, firstly I’m not surprised. Secondly have you paid and they won’t refund, thirdly did you try and raise this on the day. This is such a shame.
Hi i live near Portsmouth i looking for drive my self supercars what you recommended
