It is very unusual for us to have to cancel driving experiences due to weather. Should there be particularly adverse weather forecast (such as snow) we will contact you ahead of the date and arrange for you to come on an alternative day. If the weather is very bad on the day, and you would like to double check that we are running the experiences as scheduled please call 01243 755055.

Unfortunately you will not be refunded if you assume the day is not running as we run in virtually all weather. 

Don't worry, the vehicles are covered by comprehensive accident insurance but this will not apply if you drive recklessly, dangerously or if you cause damage to yourself or anyone else.

All Performance and Goodwood Academy experiences are for one person only (Performance Track, Performance Hot Lap, Spin & Slide, Young Driver and Extreme Weather Driver). 

There is no minimum age for Young Driver, however you must be taller than 1.5 metres.

This isn't a problem as long as you bring ID with you. 

All Ultimate Driving experiences are non-refundable after 48 hours, including slot bookings. Should you need to amend the dates, amendment charges apply.
