I can not explain how much I enjoyed this experience. The day was so well run, car meticulously prepared and checked between sessions to ensure it was in top form throughout the day. And it drove absolutely perfectly, amazingly setup car. Truly run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Nick and Ben were great all day, a genuine bunch of guys with endless knowledge of the cars setup, tracks, techniques giving pointers to get the most from my day. This was my first time hiring a car for a trackday, and first time with RGT, and without doubt will return. Thank you.

We rented the Mazda Rx-8 on a wet day on a Silverstone GP Trackday. The car arrived on time, with a 2nd car in case the Mazda broke, which it didn't happen. Nicholas seems a true petrolhead and understands your enthusiasm. Very kind and gave some tips which were really helpful.

Nick (Owner) and Ben (instructor) gave us an absolutely brilliant day. It was our first time at Silverstone and they made it enjoyable from start to finish. Explained everything thoroughly and just genuinely nice guys. Highly recommended, Thanks

Nick was an awesome host, and Ben was great at coaching us round the track. Amazing value for money given the service and compared to the standard 'experiences'. Definitely going to be using these guys again.

I really enjoyed my tuition driving experience, thanks to the efforts of Nick and team! Nick asked what I wanted to focus on, and tailored the experience to suit. Appalling weather did not dampen Nick's can-do attitude, trusting me to continue driving on the very wet circuit. Bedford Autodrome feels like a real racing circuit with long, fast, and complex turns that really test the driver. The M3 gave a really good impression of how it feels to drive a touring car racer, with all the bumps, knocks, and clunks to give the raw racing feel! Thank you, hope to be back for more soon!..

The only negative point I would identify, easily remedied, would be to ensure adequate signage around the sign-on and company garage.

I have rented from Nick at Real GT several times and had a great day every time. If you are looking for a track day rental other than a Caterham, Nick is reliable, prices are reasonable and he has a range of cars and caters for all abilities.

I have owned some very fast cars in my time but was always aware that I didn’t know how to get the best out of them. I was introduced to Nick after carrying out some research on driver instruction. I arranged one to one tuition in his Mazda MX5. We turned up at Bedford Autodrome on a cold and damp November morning. We had a driver briefing and then Nick took me around the circuit which was very eye opening. It was then my turn. The circuit was damp/wet and I hadn’t driven the car before and was a bit nervous. I needn’t have been. From driving out of the pit garage to completing a few laps, Nick was constantly telling me where to steer the car, when to accelerate, when to brake and how hard to accelerate and brake. Throughout the day the conditions changed. I was driving faster, with less input from Nick and did some impressive spins! If you don’t spin, you aren’t trying, that is what I think. Each lap I drove was faster and better than the previous one. I was controlling the car. I could feel when it was on the edge and could control it when it stepped out of line. Near the end of the day it was raining hard. However , I was driving around the circuit much faster than I had been at any other time of the day. Would I recommend The Real Gran Turismo? Definitely. I believe I am a better driver than I was before the track day.

Brilliant driving experience, Nick was excellent at explaining how to get the most out of the car and really helped build my confidence. Would recommend to anyone that would like to give a track day a go.

Great Experience! Great instruction from Nick, built my confidence throughout the day, never knew what a Honda S2000 was capable of. A must for any petrol head and there will be a next time!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Abingdon. The tutor Nick inspired me to brake later and made me quicker around the corners. The MX5 Mazda was a great car to handle. I will be booking this again. Tim
