Can't get the smile off my face!
Don't hesitate - just book it! I had a couple of hot laps with motor racing legend John Bowe, and he really made the experience. I expected that it was going to be get in, do the laps, then get out, but John was fantastic. He was prepared to have a chat, made sure that my wife was able to get some photos of me in the car with him, and he had a great sense of humour! "Don't ask me to go any faster coz I only go flatout!" and "If there are any problems it'll happen to both of us" were a couple of classics! I had an old Motor Racing News magazine from 1982 that had John as the feature article, and he was more than happy to look through it and autograph it for me (a fanboy moment...). The whole organisation was spot-on, even though there was a delay brought about by the weather, and all the Fastrack team were well-organised, polite and friendly. I still can't get the grin off my face!
2 Hot Laps with John Bowe at Sandown
The whole John Bowe 2 Hot Laps experience was excellent. There were unfortunately a couple of registering problems for me, due to no fault of my own so I deduct a star for that. For example they lost my scheduled start time, whilst I had email confirmation hard copy with me. Also I was nearly put in a non John Bowe car for the 2 Hot Laps. But the experience is full on 100% and John does a great job!!

Fantastic Outing
This was a fantastic experience and John took the time to chat with me and my wife during the experience which we really appreciated.
