Ingliston Circuit Reviews 12

‘Best present ever’ 10/10
From the team at reception, to the safety briefing and onto the pit lane & instructors, this was easily the best birthday present I’ve ever had!!
I spent the day ripping round the track in cars that I could only dream of owning, especially the McLaren 720s 🤩 what a rush!!
For the petrolhead in yer life, this is what they need! And to be honest, for the experience you get, this should cost a lot more!

What a fantastic day spent on Sunday 10th August on the Ingliston Circuit.
A big thanks to Keith and Kevin. Both exceptional instructors.
Keith in a Huracan, super road holder, terrific experience as Keith gave clear instructions which allowed me to drive as fast as I thought he would feel safe, Even as a late breaker he never flinched.
Thanks again to Keith for his help and the extra laps.
Kevin in the McLaren 720S, thank you for allowing me to drive the beast. Not sure if you touched the brakes but they were always there when I needed them. Again thanks for the sleight of hand flicking the paddle change when I missed the paddle because it rotated with the wheel. I feed the wheel not hold with a fixed grip. It was great fun and a good feel even when the rear twitched a couple of times.
I couldn’t always get the acceleration because the floor mat held the peddle up, for the times it was pulled back the car was beautiful to handle. Again thanks to Kevin for the extra laps and apologies for chancing my arm to get 4 extra free laps.
Again, thanks to both Keith and Kevin for the drives as well as all the other staff I met on the day.
My favourite was the Huracan, you could throw it round the bends, the 720S required a little more finesse, maybe I’ll get more freedom from Kevin next time.
Thoroughly recommend the experience, you both cost me a fortune with the extra laps.

Been here several times now with my Son, Wife and I taking part in driving the supercars and getting the passenger thrill rides. First off, the staff are brilliant at interacting with their customers, from the front desk through to the instructors and the owner of the business. It's a great setup they have at Ingliston and a good selection of cars also. Queues can be a bit long, but usually no longer than half an hour to get in a car. Very clear and precise coaching from instructors and you are encouraged to drive these cars quicker each lap, as you gain confidence and as your instructor gains confidence in your ability. I would recommend booking double distance (6 laps, instead of 3) to get the most of your experience. You can also get additional laps "on the fly". Instructors will let you know your on your final lap and ask if you want any additional laps. Overall a great experience being here with everything, from the cars, the venue and most importantly the staff. Will be going back again in the near future.

The activity itself is fun, however the queues are unreal. I paid directly to the company and not through any deals or vouchers, so was at £250 already for my partner on his birthday to drive 5 cars for 3 laps each. Our booking was for 10am, he never got into his first car until 11.45!! - I kid you not. New groups and people were arriving and joining in big groups before we even got to car 2, so the queues never went down.

At that point, so his birthday wasn't totally ruined, I just went and paid to upgrade everything because the expensive car queues were empty (The huracan has 2 cars making it far quicker queue than all the others, the Ferrari upgrade however was a multi hour queue wait so we didn't upgrade that one). In total after upgrading and adding on the drift car for 2 laps, ended up being around £400 so that we didn't have to stand in an hour long queue for every single car (which I'd already paid £250 for). The photo package at the end is £60 to get all your photos and videos, so my day came to around £460 in total for something I feel £250 - £300 should've been enough for.

So basically if you're willing to pay tons, you can have a good session of it and a really good time. If you're not, be prepared to wait in queues for the experience you've already paid loads for. I wouldn't advise you upgrade before getting there, as on the day you can see what queues are the best/worst and decide from there.

This is as far as I can see, the only negative people review the track/company on, so they really need to find a better solution. I'd never of paid extra for this if it hadn't of been a 30th, and just decided to stick it on my credit card and deal with it later. But it's disappointing when you're already paying hundreds to then also have to wait 1hr45mins to get into the first car. I'm not aware of any other experience that makes you pay so much, then makes you wait in a queue all day to actually experience it. They need a better system for this especially if you're unlucky and it's freezing/windy/raining (luckily it was good weather for us). I'm sure cars not working on the day didn't help and sent that car's queue to other queues. Why they don't have other backup cars for this happening I don't understand, or have a booking system where only X number of people can book out a certain car in this time slot then future bookers need to pick a different car and the overbooked one is no longer available. Or just upgrade people to empty queues when one car is out, they are still paying plenty and the fault is on your end, not the customer's after all.

Drivers were great, staff were nice, pictures were good, not all the videos worked and on our checking at home bits cut out in the videos or had the giant Ingliston banner covering my partner and the instructors face for the whole video (which isn't great given I paid £60 for them).

The drift car as a passenger is great if you've not been part of the driving experience all day and just watching, felt a bit like a rollercoaster hill to me for how fast it accelerated. Really good fun.

The non manual cars I would say seemed to be far more fun, as they are easier to swap gears on than the fully manual gear stick one at high speeds, when the track length is at it's end in just a few seconds.

Overall we had a good day because we paid more to avoid queues, which isn't something everyone would be comfortable doing, and isn't something I feel an already expensive experience should have you doing. You should pay more because you are interested in a particular car, not £30-£40 per car to skip to a better smaller queue.

Where to start? Had one of the best birthdays ever thanks to the Driving Experience! From the moment I arrived at reception to being in the paddock & waiting areas staff were very welcoming, very friendly & very passionate about what they do on a regular basis, even in the damp cold Scottish weather! Instructors were superb & really supportive as you learn the cars & track itself before pushing you to be better than your last lap, competitive shall we say! Passenger rides in the atom & M3 were another great memory made in the day & kudos to both the drivers pushing the cars to make it a memorable experience! Being able to add things on the day was also a great feature as surprisingly I fell in love with a car that I thought I wouldn't & to get a 2nd round of laps in it was fantastic! My son also agreed having took full advantage of the passenger laps option. Had a memorable fantastic day !

I booked a Junior Supercar day for my Grandson. The cars are displayed on signs which you queue up in front of. The Lamborghini Huracan which he wanted to drive was the most popular and it took almost 2 hours. There is virtually no seating or cover so friends have to stand as well and there is only a burger stall for eats. The junior drivers have a smaller track which for an enthusiastic 16 year old was a bit disappointing although he did enjoy the day overall.

My dad had thee most amazing day today! I cannot thank you enough for making my dad's day as special as this group of guys and girls did,my dad is terminal lung cancer and when they found out,,Wendy I believe her name is,,went above and beyond with My dad's experience day,she made it most memorable moments we will cherish forever! I cannot recommend this day out for anyone who loves cars enough! Worth the money, worth the weather and definitely worth the cars <3 thank you so much much Guys and Girls

Fantastic day , I drove 4 different cars , Ferrari spyder was amazing , maclaren was the star of the day for me (rear wheel drive )all instructors were fantastic, I heard stories about how they don’t let you push these cars on the track, complete rubbish, if you listen to the instructors and go as they say , I drove the maclaren with Kevin in the passenger seat and he instructed me on what to do and I can assure you I didn’t hold back and had a fantastic experience

Had a fantastic time being able to take in the buzz and excitement of driving some awesome machinery. (Was driving the McLaren 650 & Ferrari 458) Plus a few laps being driven by a spectacular driver in the Atom for that extra kick of adrenaline.
Special shout out to Daryl (Ferrari 458 instructor) who was great at explaining the car and points system. Made it super special and it's an experience I will forever cherish.

Took my son here today for his 11th birthday to be a passenger in his dream car (Lamborghini) my son had additional needs the staff were amazing with him took time to chat with him and explain everything to him he had that much fun we just had to throw in a shot of the drifting would recommend and will definitely be back

Thd wife bought me a supercar driving experience -whilst disappointing the Aston Martin was broken - they very kindly allowed me a shot in the Ferrari 360 - and threw in 3 extra laps as a goodwill gesture. The instructor Ian was very friendly and helpful and helped to make the experience very memorable. The atom lap was a treat too!

Visited with my partner to use his gift super car experience. Normally don't leave reviews, but he enjoyed it so much we had to!! The setup is great and very enjoyable, the instructors were great and encouraged to go go go!! After watching for a few hours the ariel atom passenger lap we had chosen the best and most exuberant driver and he let us choose him, wowee, what a guy! So much fun the best adrenalin rush ever, little too much on the last corner and spun out, but really well done to the driver. 100% will be going again.
