F1® DRIVE London

“My family loved it! Some a nice energy. It is a kart but you still feel it like you are actually racing.”

“Brilliant karting experience! Took my 15 yr old son today and we had a great session. Staff were friendly and helpful. The karts were awesome, quick, responsive and the boost buttons are fun too. Restaurant on site was ok, served a nice coffee. Only 4 stars as it was expensive and ridiculously cold, you could see your breath whilst waiting to get on the karts - clearly the heating was inadequate, made it a little uncomfortable, especially for any spectators. Would definitely return though.”

“Very divided on my opinion of the F1 Drive Experience. Some aspects of the day I would give 5 stars, and the rest probably 1 or 2. We arranged to go on a Saturday and luckily the venue wasn't overcrowded or oversold at all, which was good. The staff are really not great at communicating, though. We felt lost in what we were supposed to be doing half of the time. There was barely any direction and we were wandering around confused, not knowing where to wait, stand/sit. The safety briefing was very informative but it is completely pointless when the rules don't actually stand once on the track. So many times my two children were crashed into, with my daughter being left with a very painful neck. The rules were that anyone driving recklessly or causing avoidable accidents would first be given a warning and then removed if they carried on. This did NOT happen. My son decided not to do the second round of racing due to the craziness of some drivers. It ruined the experience somewhat. The simulators were great, however. We booked in advance and got to go straight on them at our allotted time. The staff member was extremely helpful and made sure my children had a great time racing against each other. They expressed that they much preferred the simulator experience over the karting. The food and drink was also good and reasonably priced. We probably wouldn't return but somewhat enjoyed the experience. More monitoring on the karts is definitely needed. The venue can be quite cold, so definitely take a jacket/coat.”

“The most disappointing part for me was careless of staff regarding rules on track. It was mentioned few times - no worries, it’s contactless, you won’t be hurt. Guess what? I was bumped every loop by 2-5 other player and no one told to stop doing this. As result, I left experience with headache and bruise on the leg. We had super circuit elite session.”
