I bought my hubby one of those for his 40th. It was at Silverstone, so we made a weekend break of it. Rather than a formula racing car he chose the saloon car. (He had the choice of formula, saloon or 4x4 rally car off road. He loved it. He had a group tutorial first and then several runs round the track. The first run he was a passenger whilst the instructor did the driving, showing him when and where to change gear etc. Then lots more with him driving, but the instructor was a passenger. The final run was back with the instructor driving at top racing speed the whole circuit, just to show him how professionals do it. That was scary. He was fine. Exhilarated in fact. However, two or three of the rest of the group (all 40 something men) threw up as soon as they got out of the car. I loved it, too. I watched from the area where they started from (not the actual pits) . The smell of burning rubber was extremely strong. Very atmospheric though, but nerve racking watching him whiz round those bends at in excess of 120mph..
