Hi folks, I bought my SD second hand so didn’t get a PEC visit thrown in.

However I’m keen to see what the Macan can do and so debating whether to pay £295 to go.

For those who’ve been, what was the experience like, would it be worth the time and money in your view?

thanks in advance for your feedback!

It’s well worth the visit at that price as I thought it was £500. If you do go you will be surprised at just how capable the car is

I also thought it was more like £500. At less than £300 yes I would say to go for it. Is a good day out with very good food and hospitality. I opted not to have a Macan however and went 911 instead which was fun. At the start it seems a smallish slow track but you can ramp up the speed nicely once you have a few laps done and its great fun.

I went a couple of weeks ago, and definitely recommend it.

It’s a fantastic day out, 3 course meal, afternoon tea, drove a macan s and a 911 c4s.
The instructor was awesome and made the day special!

Loved the macan on the test drive at OPC but fell in love with it even more after the experience day!

Delivery day is 6 days away! LONGEST 6 days of my life!

If its only £300 book 2 slots and stay there the whole day 😂

If you enjoy driving (fast, but in a controlled environment where you get some good tuition and tips) then yes, absolutely.
But, as above, I think it’s closer to £595......😳

I’m not sure that the £295 experience is exactly what you get as a depositor. It’s described as 90 minutes driving and food doesn’t seem to be mentioned.

But it will still be great fun and instructive.

A definate yes. However long the duration is. When I was there, Richard Attwood was one of the instructors. He was unfortunatly not mine, but a real bonus for some.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes it sounds like the £295 is just a 90min session vs the better ~£500 experience you have had as new buyers.

However either option sounds like a solid investment of time and money so will do it!

I know they do half and full day experiences, I've done both but these were free.

Maybe the £295 is the half day..?

The PEC is superb and as per the above comments the food, instructors, tutoring and experience is great.

I did a morning session in a Macan then I drove a Cayman in the afternoon.

Recommended.
