Anyone tried this Elise driving experience (Heyford Park)?

[aww999]

A friend of mine has her 30th birthday coming up, and she has always had a thing for the Elise. I'm on a tight budget, but spotted this driving experience day at Heyford Park in Oxfordshire

I know it's only four or five laps, but it's also only £75! I just wondered if anyone knew anything about the venue, or the operator, or could suggest similar options elsewhere?

Also (this is going to sound ridiculously picky) . . . do all Elises have leather seats? The friend in question is a super-strict vegan and would not contemplate sitting on leather seats! I have phoned the venue but they are a bit slow in responding and I need to get it booked ASAP.

No, not all elises have leather seats, but I would say that the majority of road going ones do. However, if it's a track car, the standard seats may have been replaced by motorsport ones, which could be cloth. Sorry, not much help is it? Your best bet is to get in touch with the organiser, as you have done.

Trouble is, and the reason I thought I'd better reply, is that I think Elise steering wheels (both S1 and S2) are leather! I'm pretty sure mine is anyway, and it's a standard S1.

As an aside, my cousin who's a vegeterian and doesn't wear leather (not even leather shoes - urggh plastic!) adjusted his principles quite quickly when asked if he wanted a ride in my car...
