Celebrating my father-in-law's 60th birthday with the whole family in tow in itself was going to be daunting but what a blast we all had! Ultimate Race Car team (Mark, Julie, Matt and Richard) were fantastic hosts, welcoming, helpful and what a set-up they have built!

Six cars in a race-laden atmosphere (the only things missing were the car's body shell and tyres - but that is the idea afterall!) were amazing with realistic F1 engine sounds, steering, braking (get used to using your left foot for this), acceleration (felt like being in a McClaren P1), buttock clenchers on seats that jolted you in every which way you can - what more can you ask for? The thrill of being a F1 driver on a proper F1 circuit and the joys which only a few can experience. A must for everyone (yes ladies too), especially would be "Jenson Buttons, Vicki Butler-Hendersons or Lewis Hamiltons".

Great day out and loved every minute of it. Will definitely go back for more Ultimate Racing.

Well done to the Ultimate Race Car Experience team! Thank you :)

My friend and I were bought this experience for a birthday present and it was all round excellent fun. We had the half hour session. The place is situated off old Sarum industrial site and the unit looks like the inside of a McClaren Tech centre. They have six simulators and some comfy seating areas for viewing. Excellent coffee is available but I dont recommend downing one before the drive. We definitely felt a bit queasy after doing this. We were given and general briefing 15 mins before our slot and then we had 15 minutes going round SPA in the Mazda RX8. After that it was on to the F1 car. Chalk and cheese but both were good experience. Lap times gradually came down and a few spins and crashes into the barrier all added to the experience. The sensation was so good that you found yourself looking at the side screen to see when you would hit the wall and feel the rumble. Like some of the other comments said I think a printout of best times would be good. Having said that we were only doing the half hour session and not doing a full head to head compete. You have many options available but the SPA circuit was a good starting place. Staff were friendly and helpful. The man looks like David Couldthards brother. Who knows it might be. Im definitely going back and will recommend to others.

My son and I went to the Ultimate Race Car Experience and had an absolutely amazing time. The movement of the simulator rigs surprised me but not as much as their "G-Seats". There are pads in every part of the seat that squeeze you to give the feeling of much higher G-forces than you are actually experiencing. After a few minutes you don't even realise that your being squeezed by these pads and it just feels like you are driving a race car to its limits. I really enjoyed it.

My son is massively into motorsport and racing and he loved it too... He made this review on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGxJBXNeIgI

The site is well signed with parking right at the door, staff are welcoming, professional and informative, the intro brief was comprehensive and the venue is spotless and well equipped.
The actual driving simulator is very hi-tech and once seated feels very realistic. move the car off and you experience all the sounds and sensations of the drive, the whole machine responds to the speed and thrusts of the corners and feels every kerb and ground undulation. Once you have the feel of the car it is almost like the real thing, requiring full concentration to stay in control of the car and get some good lap times, we had a 30 minute session which felt to be enough given the concentration and effort required, not to say I would not have enjoyed another 30 mins! The simulators have over 60 lazer mapped race circuits programmed and a wide variety of cars available. definitely an experience to be enjoyed by anyone tall enough to reach the pedals! great experience, thanks again to the staff.

I visited UCRE based on the reviews here on Tripadvisor since we were staying in Salisbury. I went together with my 17-year-old son. On arrival, we were warmly met, offered cups of coffee/tea and introduced to the co-owner who gave us a detailed briefing, not just on the simulators, but also a bit of background on the business, which was interesting too! None of this took time away from our one hour on the simulators, and that was superb. Mark (Lush), had already helpfully explained by email before our arrival what would happen, and what we were able to do was even better! We both started off in Formula Ford type cars, before switching to heavier touring cars. Amazing to experience how different these felt in the simulators. After another coffee break and a stretch, we got back in to the machines and finished off with a final half hour in the FI Williams. Great great fun driving those and experiencing all of the G forces, bumps, judders and shakes as we negotiated our way around Spa (Belgium), supposed to be one of the most fun of the 60+ laser-modelled circuits that they have at UCRE!

All in all, a fantastic morning of enjoyment. Thanks to Mark and his team for making it such a great time for both myself and my son, who was raving about it to his siblings for days!

Had a great time at the centre, so many things that you can tweak on the simulator. Staff really helpful and informative, they make you feel very comfortable. It is very addictive as you try and get the perfect lap. Great experience, get yourself down there, I will be going back

Great facility, nice staff and super simulators. As close as you can get to driving the real thing and you get to do it complete safety. Plus you may have done a track day, like me, but it wasn't

We went to Ultimate Racing Car Experience on Saturday for my husbands 60th birthday party. There were twenty of us ranging in age from twenties to sixty both men and women.
It must be said that the girls enjoyed it's much as the boys and were asking when we could go back .

Mark Matt Rich and Julie talked us through track and speed being very patient with the less confident of us.

Everyone was buzzing from the whole experience and can't wait to go back! Thank you for a brilliant afternoon to all the team at URCE
