What a great shame.
My children have had really good fun on Mithril driving experiences. Only recently they added a Lotus Elan to their fleet and I had planned to book it myself for my birthday next February. I'm surprised they are just shutting up, I wonder why they didn't sell the business on?

Goodwood's own Ultimate Driving Experience has taken their business.
Quote from the Chi Observer:
Managing director Chris Taylor said: “Recently Goodwood launched their own ‘driving experience’ company, which in turn has had an impact on us.
“It wasn’t until last Christmas we realised that for the first time we weren’t making a profit.
“This year Goodwood has been pushing their ‘driving experience’, and unfortunately there is not enough room at one venue for two operators.

Pretty much that and the same as when both Mithril and Peter Gethin were competing for the same customers with limited available days once the Revival increased demand for the circuit.Quote from the Chi Observer:

The pictures before the re-development of the track bring back some memories though.
A pity.
Was there a company operating before Mithril?
I remember doing a few things there, the first few times were some of the best I had ever done an not just because they were some of the first. The instructors / operators seemed happy for the cars to be pushed a bit, also once you had done initial day you could just book a single seater for laps.
Last time I went (which was mithril) was purely to have a go in a Ferrari 328/308 and it was purely an experience and felt very restricted.
