Hi All,

Hope you are all well!

I'm thinking of booking a driving experience for my brother with carlimit dot com.
Has anyone tried them? They're reasonably priced you can drive three supercars* for three miles each at £99... and I saw a youtube video of a person driving them (https://youtu.be/U_FA-5-hCx0) but I was wondering whether you get to really drive them fast? I've seen recommendations for Palmersport but everyone on PistonHeads says they are uber expensive.

I would appreciate any advice.

Kind regards,
Yogi

Palmer sport will let you push and a half day with them would be a much better use of money IMO - worth saving for if you can (even if it is a half day)

Surprised the website is still up as Carlimits ceased trading some time ago.

Generally the supercars experience days on ex airfields are quite restrictive. The priority will be to look after the car, and if it's only 3 miles then the instructor won't have much chance to assess your driving and make a decision if they'll let you push on.
You'd be better off saving for a track car rental, or palmer sport.
Single seater and rally days tend to be better value in terms of time behind the wheel, mainly as the machinery isn't so expensive...
