U Drive Cars Avis 

A great experience at Tockwith with Car Chase Heroes. We purchased a voucher with In to the blue for our 8 year old Granddaughter to travel as a passenger. Very helpful from all parties involved and she had a great day.

I recently attended the Ariel Atom experience at Tockwith Motorsport Circuit.
While I enjoyed the day overall, I was initially disappointed that the gear-changing element of the experience was not available as I had expected when booking. After raising my concerns with the company, they responded promptly, provided a detailed explanation, and explained that the experience had since been removed from sale due to safety concerns and customer feedback.
What impressed me most was how professionally my complaint was handled. Rather than dismissing my concerns, they acknowledged the issue and offered a complimentary Triple Supercar Driving Experience as a gesture of goodwill.
The staff on the day were friendly and professional, and the instructor was accommodating. Although the experience itself did not fully meet my expectations, the company's customer service afterwards was excellent and demonstrated that they genuinely value customer feedback and satisfaction.
Thank you to the team for taking my concerns seriously and resolving the matter in a positive and fair manner.

The instructors were excellent and gave enough pointer to ensure that you got the maximum out of your time in the cars. The cars were fantastic and I would recommend the car Lamborghini Hurricane it is terrifically fast yet easy to drive and sound the best when in sports mode, truly thrilling. Fantastic day out.

I have been to many car experience days and unfortunately this one was by far the worst. It was at Curborough Spring circuit, which is great venue for sprints but totally unsuitable for the vehicles in use here.

I did a "supercar" v "vintage" 4 lap experience. Paid the additional amount due to being a weekend (pretty standard).
Arrived on the day in plenty of time (around 2pm), booking stated arrive for 2.30pm. Got signed in to then be forced to pay the damage waiver (or show actual screen proof of having a spare 5 grand available to cover "damages"), so that was £35 on top straight away.

Got offered a load of add ons (practice laps, passenger laps etc), all around £10 per lap (of a 30second circuit).
At this point everyone then headed down to a large tent at the side of the track, with probably 100 people just hanging around in a crowd. (Luckily it wasn't raining)
That was around 2.30pm.

You then stand in this completely unorganised crowd trying to listen to names being shouted on a PA, roll forward to 4.15pm (my slot was 3-5pm), no sign of my name, just the same names over and over again who clearly have had enough and left or are elsewhere, meanwhile one of the cars I was booked to drive had been sat unmoved for well over an hour.
At this point I had also had enough so had to go and speak to the guy calling the names who then (wrongly really) just got me moved forward and next in line.

Drove the first car which was great for the 4 laps you get (car was a little tired and unloved but it's having multiple people in and out everyday), don't expect you can just drive to your ability however as the person sitting with you is straight on the brakes far ahead of where I would be braking (most of the staff are young part time staff just working around Uni hours, my passenger actually told me that)

Onto the final car (Aerial Atom), again, very tired, seat could not be adjusted so you have to have a cushion behind your back if you're not 6ft +, you also have to drive with your right shoe off, which straight away is an awkward feeling.
You're then told to enter the track, get into 5th gear as quickly as possibly and leave it, so you do the entire 4laps in 5th gear "because it will catch you out".
The instructor is again straight on the brakes half way down the small straight (and to let the paid passenger laps/cars pass you)

Overall, disappointing. The "instructors" should at least tailor some of the restrictions to the drivers ability, being forced to sit in 5th gear in a NA engined car on a track with 20/30mph corners is just OTT.
Organisation of the whole event was very poor, too many people, the track is too small for the experience on offer. Why not have dedicated queues/areas for specific cars, seems very simple ?
Also anyone on paid for passenger laps quite clearly get priority, or anyone booking additionals on the day, they were actually advertising that they had additional cars/laps for you to buy in the crowd of 100 people some of which had easily stood in the same spot for 2hours waiting for their pre booked laps, which seems a little back to front.

Would not book again/recommend, there are far better experience days out there.
Also found it quite surprising that kids are allowed to drive some as young as 10, whilst sitting on multiple cushions so they can see over the steering wheel!?

Wasn't very impressed at all, booked in and then waited 1hr 20mins to drive the lamboirghini gallardo (yellow). The car was tired looking, wing mirror yelled on with yellow tape, smell of oil from the engine, the track was very small and wasn't able to get the full driving experience as was told by the instructor to brake and slow down due to cars passing by with children driving them, which I think they sshould e on another track, also felt pressured to purchase the waiver which was not needed as the cars do not get up to speed to many cars on the small track.
Shocked to see children driver on cushions to raise the seating position (surely this us a health and safety issue)
Will not recommend this venue.

Amazing event, experience and instructors. Highly recommend

Really once in a lifetime opportunity. Event well organised and thought out and the instructors were amazing.

Pricy but you get what you pay for and there were discounts available.

My only gripe was the lady behind the photo booth was a little pushy about reviewing and naming her in the review.

Fantastic Drive at Castle Combe race circuit.
Staff (Chris) were enthusiastic and helpful.
Also the staff at Blendini motorsport in Llandow are amazing would highly recommend.
Thanks Ad

A truly miserable experience!

Castle Combe Circuit June 4th 2026.

Administered and operated by Blendini Motorsport of Llandow Wales (on the day of the event all the staff were proudly wearing Blendini Motorsport corporate clothing) and promoted as Car Chase Hero's as a memorable Race track experience, which was memorable for all the wrong reasons!

No customer care, no hospitality no catering nowhere dry or comfortable to sit, disgusting wc cloakroon facilities which should embarrass Castle Combe Circuit management, if there are any?

Had three cars booked and paid for in advance and then sold an additional three cars including a Mclaren which mysteriously was not available due to breaking down, was there a Mclaren actually there I think not as there wasn't a Mclaren in sight anywhere.

Had to wait for over an hour and a half standing in a cold wet drafty garage with 50 - 60 other customers all waiting to be called forward to wait a further 15 minutes, all this to drive just one car for just two laps!

With the waiting time alone, I would have waited standing for over 6-7 hours with no catering or cloakroom facilities and no where to sit in the dry, to drive the 6 cars I had been persuaded to buy and told I would definitely drive.

This turned out to be truly miserable experience, so disappointed in fact close to tears.

The staff are clearly under instructions to promise and say anything to shut any unhappy customer up.

Just awful awful awful an absolute disgrace and a shambles. Nothing more than a money making machine

Carchaseheroes response just a "shrug of the shoulders" it is what it is -tough!

Tip never pre pay for any extras do it on the day for a third of the price and also you will know on the day if any cars have broken down so they cannot offer you a cheaper replacement. You will be treated quicker to the track and overall much better than the conned people who have booked overpriced extras.by emails from udrive or carchaseheroes.

I was very kindly bought a voucher for my birthday for The Ultimate U Drive 8 Supercars Track Day. At first I booked the date I wanted, but then had to change it. Doing this via email was not particularly easy and I only got a confirmation when calling and asking for it.

On to the day itself. I arrived half an hour before start time as advised, friendly team who asked me to sign paperwork, then a wait, then upstairs for more paperwork where I was told I had a VIP package. I was then escorted to a gazebo where I was told it was great as I wouldn't have to wait for anything all day due to the VIP nature of my package. There was a queue of people waiting for the sighting lap and I was feeling rather smug with myself, until they were all let loose and told to find a driver and car whilst I was stood there wondering whether I was supposed to go or someone would come and get me. I flagged it with one of the staff who told me to go find a car.

From then on, it was a case of waiting to be called from a holding pen garage on to seats with duck tape stickers and the car names on them. I sat on the seat I was directed to and it broke, bit of banter with the MC and I got a new one, no bother, these things happen. I went for the first drive and it was great, although I had 3 laps per car and they go very quickly - circa 7 minutes. Of course was offered to buy additional laps, but didn't really see the point as I had 8 cars to drive.

The state of the cars is depressing, I am a "car" person and seeing the state of these Ferrari's, Lambo's, Astons etc is just sad. I get that they aren't designed to have 25 people getting in and out of them all day, but I got the impression they weren't cared for at all, they may have been mechanically sound but these things have had a hard life and did not feel premium at all. The Ariel Atom I drove was missing its wing... apparently there was a funny story about it.

The instructors were all great fun and I never felt held back, as I got more confidence in the track | pushed further and got pretty quick all things considered.

My last car was a 911 Spyder. The duck tape had been out again and was covering mileage on the dash, holding other bits together, I guess it was probably 20 years old. The wait for this, was the longest wait of the day as it didn't have a driver.

Then the "High Speed Passenger Ride" - at this point the heavens had well and truly opened and I along with probably 40 other people were left standing in the hammering rain with no cover. Very quick lap with an epic driver.
I was so keen to leave that I forgot to go to the media truck, but probably wouldn't have bought anything anyway.

All in all this was a fun day, but lacked any sort of finesse and I don't think the fact I was a "VIP" gave me any benefit apart from an extra lap over everyone else, the excess insurance and sighting lap included.
The sheer amount of people there baffled me, they kept on coming all day and I felt so sorry for people that had come with their families and there was no
provision for the dreadful weather at all. Just portaloos and a burger van. For the price paid it felt disappointing.

I bought my husband a driving experience and he absolutely loved it. He had the best day, got to drive a couple of different cars and the staff through in another lap & a fast speed lap. This was due to the car that I had booked, not being available- which at first was disappointing but this was because it had a puncture, understandable as these cars are driven around all day. The staff’s response to this was super professional and kind, making up for it by way of the free extra lap and a ride in the Atom. We will definitely return!

The organisation was exceptional. Everyone was so helpful and it all made my day memorable

Had a fantastic drive at castle Combe drove Lotus Cortina & mk 1 Escort. I'd forgotten what it was like driving without power steering. Also had a fast lap in a Golf What a lap .

Whole session was well organised and throughly enjoyed!!!
Great variety of cars on offer to drive and great viewing space for spectators to watch loved ones!

Organisation was fantastic and the facilities were better than any other venue I've been to. The staff were very friendly as always but a special thanks to how they treated my autistic daughter when she went out for a high speed passenger ride.

It was a good family experience for my sons and I. The event was well organised and the instructors were helpful and friendly. What stopped it from being a great event was the quality of the photos taken at the location and video camera not working in the cars.

Great experience for my daughter, she enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely use this company again

Well organised, helpful staff
Super instructor
Will be going again !!

Lovely day, well organised and the team were brilliant

My 10 year old granddaughter had the most amazing day
She loved every minute of it and her 'co pilot' looked after her when she was driving the police car.
Can highly recommend
