Great value half-day, but check your lap counts!
Everyman Driving Experiences的点评
点评:I just got home from my 5-car experience and overall had a great half-day out. Considering the high value of the cars, the cost of fuel, and the number of staff required to run these events, the price is very fair.
Some of the mixed reviews online do have a point, but when you look at the bigger picture—what you actually get to do in half a day for around £200—it is excellent value for money. Yes, the cars are a little well-loved and show some wear, but they perform well. Crucially, the instructors were fantastic. They let me drive how I liked while providing brilliant guidance and giving me great, constructive feedback after my sessions. ( the Lamborghini instructor actually said he enjoyed my fast lap and didn’t even give any instruction)
My only real drawback was the mileage. I paid for 3 miles in each of the 5 cars. The website states that the Heritage Loop at Donington is 1.2 miles, which means a 3-mile experience should be 3 laps (short of 3.6 miles). However, I was brought in after just 2 laps per car. Shorting drivers by a full lap across 5 different cars adds up to a lot of missed track time.
There is quite a lot of people there but i got to drive the cars quite quickly but the way they select people to drive could be a little more organised. Possibly app based or text message so that people can sit inside when the weather is poor.
As for the weather it was mixed with sun, heavy rain and wind but it is October and driving an aerial atom there doesn’t seem much point complaining of no shelter to sit under etc!
I will definitely book with Everyman Racing again because the day itself was brilliant. However, I’m hoping their customer service team will discuss this track-length discrepancy with me so we can make it right for my next booking!
翻译:我刚从这场包含5款车的体验活动归来,整个半天过得非常愉快。考虑到这些汽车的昂贵价值、燃油成本以及举办此类活动所需的人力投入,这个价格真的相当合理。
网上的一些褒贬不一的评论虽有道理,但纵观整体来看——只需花费约200英镑就能在半天内体验这么多内容——其性价比绝对出色。没错,这些车确实有些使用痕迹且略显磨损,不过性能依然良好。最重要的是。教练们表现得非常出色。他们允许我按照自己的意愿来驾驶,同时给予精妙的指导,并在每次驾驶结束后给出非常中肯且富有建设性的反馈。(那位兰博基尼车的教练甚至说他很欣赏我快速的圈速,而且几乎没有给出任何指示。)
我唯一觉得不太满意的地方就是行驶里程。我为5辆车各支付了3英里的费用。网站上写明多宁顿的“传承环道”长度为1.2英里,也就是说3英里的体验理应相当于3圈左右(本应接近3.6英里)。然而……每辆车只跑了两圈后我就被换上场了。在5辆不同的车上都少跑了一整圈,这加起来就相当于浪费了大量的赛道时间。
现场有不少人,我也能很快地驾驶那些车子,不过挑选驾驶者的方式或许可以更有条理一些。或许可以采用应用程序或短信的方式来通知,这样在天气恶劣时人们就能待在车内了。
至于天气,则是晴雨交替。虽然下着大雨还刮着风,但现在是十月啊,在这种天气下驾车参加比赛,再抱怨没地方避雨或休息似乎也没什么意义啦!
我绝对会再次预订Everyman Racing的服务,因为当天的体验实在很棒。不过,我希望他们的客服团队能就赛道长度不符的问题与我沟通,这样我下次预订时就能确保一切妥当了!
