点评:This was our second time visiting Carlisle Airfield for the Car Chase Heroes event, the first time myself and a friend did a single car driving experience and a fast lap.
This time we decided to go all in and booked ourselves onto 5 cars each! And wow was it worth it. As before the booking experience is very simple, choose your cars, choose your add on's and you are good to go. I would recommend adding on the damage waiver, one of payment to cover all the cars I drove. Also if it is your first time at a particular circuit I would book onto the sighting lap. Getting the layout of the track into your head before having to drive it is essential.
Check in was quick and friendly, they got us out track side very quickly. The system is super simple, wait for your name to be called for your chosen car, wait in the pit lane, your instructor takes you to the car and gives you a run down of the specifics of the vehicle, you might be driving a fully manual car, or one with flappy paddles, the car might be a crazy handful if you floor it in second gear so getting all of that insight from the instructors is great.
Your driving slot might sit anywhere within the 2 hour window but watching all the cars go out makes the time fly. (Another good reason to book onto more than one car! :-)
All of the instructors are fantastic, giving you perfect instruction on how to get the most out of the car and how to best get around the track. I have to mention Malcolm B as both my friend and I drove with him in a couple of different cars and he definitely pushed us both to get the maximum speed and enjoyment from the sessions.
I drove the GT40, the R32, Lambo Spider and the Dodge Hellcat, all of them can be a handful but each instructor gave me confidence to push them, my final drive of the day was in the Ariel Atom. This was very much the highlight of the day. The instructor in this one can't talk to you through the drive as you have a helmet on, oh and the speed and noise make it hard too but she talked me through a set of hand signals before setting out and again this helped me get the most out of my laps.
Can't wait until the event is back in the area, I just have to choose if I want to book more cars or extra laps next time.
Alongside the driving instructors all of the other staff we met were fantastic, friendly and enthusiastic for what they were doing. Very highly recommended!!!
翻译:这是我们第二次参加在卡莱尔机场举办的“汽车追逐英雄”活动。第一次时,我和朋友各自体验了一次单车驾驶以及快速环圈赛。
这次我们决定全力以赴,每人都预订了5辆车的驾驶体验!效果真是棒极了。和以往一样,预订流程非常简单:选择想要驾驶的车型,再挑选所需的附加服务,即可完成预订。我建议大家都选择“损坏免责服务”——这样就能覆盖我驾驶过的所有车辆可能产生的损坏费用了。另外,如果你是第一次到某个赛道,我建议报名参加试驾体验环节。在真正开车前先熟悉一下赛道的布局是至关重要的。
签到过程迅速且友好,他们很快就把我们带到了赛道旁。整个流程极其简单:等待工作人员叫到你选择的车型名称,然后在维修区等候;随后教练会带你到车旁,向你介绍车辆的各项参数。你可能会驾驶的是一辆全手动挡汽车。无论是那种带有可摆动翼片的车辆,还是其他类型的车,如果你在二档时猛踩油门,都可能会变得极难操控;因此能从教练那里获得这些宝贵指导真是太好了。
你的驾驶时段可能出现在两小时时间窗口内的任意时刻,但看着所有车辆依次出发,时间就飞快过去了。(这也是值得预订多辆车体验的另一个好理由!:-)
所有的教练都非常出色,他们会悉心指导你如何充分发挥车辆的性能,以及如何在赛道上以最佳方式驾驶。我必须提一下马尔科姆·B,他既是我的朋友,我们还一起驾驶过几款不同的赛车。他确实激励着我们俩去努力发挥出车辆的最大性能,并尽情享受驾驶的乐趣。
我驾驶过GT40、R32、兰博基尼Spider以及道奇Hellcat。这些车都相当难驾驭,但每位教练都给了我信心去挑战它们。当天最后一次驾驶则是驾驶Ariel Atom——这绝对是当天的亮点时刻。在这次体验中,由于我戴着头盔,教练无法通过对讲机与我交流;哦,而且车速很快、噪音也很大,这也增加了沟通难度。不过在出发前,她还是向我详细讲解了各种手势信号,这确实帮助我在驾驶过程中充分发挥了水平。
我迫不及待地希望这类活动能再次在本地举办,到时候我只需决定是再预订几辆车还是多安排几圈驾驶时间了。
除了驾驶教练外,我们遇到的其他所有工作人员也都非常出色。友好又热情,对自己所做的工作充满热情。强烈推荐!!!
