点评:Think Twice Before Booking Drift Limits!
I booked the 12-lap Drift Collection package at London Motor Circuit as a birthday present for my girlfriend, along with a 4-lap session for myself. Sadly, it turned out to be a very disappointing and unprofessional experience.
The day started with a briefing that, while understandably needing to cover safety, felt more like a sales pitch for optional insurance than an introduction to drifting. There was a heavy emphasis on crash examples, repair costs and additional insurance, but very little time spent building confidence or explaining the techniques beginners would actually need on the track.
Unfortunately, the instruction on the circuit didn’t improve. The passenger demonstration lap was extremely brief, and during both my girlfriend’s session and my own, the instructor spent much of the time looking down at and using his mobile phone rather than actively coaching or paying attention to our driving. As complete beginners, we were relying on guidance and feedback, but there was very little of either. We also experienced issues with re-starting the car on more than one occasion due to a mechanical/ignition failure which required assistance and interrupted the experience. The irony was that far more time seemed to be spent highlighting the cost of damaging the cars than helping customers succeed and enjoy the experience they had already paid for.
Before writing this review, I contacted Drift Limits directly to give them the opportunity to investigate and respond. Rather than acknowledging our experience or offering any goodwill gesture, they simply stated that the instructor disputed our account and accepted no responsibility. This was despite me having photos and videos of the instructor looking down at his lap while my girlfriend was driving the car.
I appreciate that drifting is a difficult skill and that nobody can guarantee success. However, I do expect instructors to be fully engaged and focused on coaching their customers. Based on both the experience itself and the company’s response afterwards, I would not recommend Drift Limits and would encourage others to consider alternative providers.
翻译:在预订“Drift Limits”项目之前请三思!
我为了给女友庆祝生日,在伦敦赛车场预订了12圈的漂移体验套餐,同时自己也预定了4圈的体验课程。可惜的是,这次体验极其令人失望,整个服务也毫无专业性可言。
活动伊始有一个安全说明环节。虽说讲解安全事项无可厚非,但这更像是在推销额外的保险服务,而非对漂移运动的介绍。讲解中大量举例说明可能发生的事故情况。维修费用与额外的保险费用倒是不少,但用来建立信心或向初学者讲解他们在赛道上真正需要掌握的技巧的时间却少得可怜。
遗憾的是,赛道上的教学质量依然没有改善。示范圈的时间极其短暂;在我女友以及我自己的驾驶过程中,教练大部分时间都在低头摆弄手机,而非积极指导或留意我们的驾驶表现。作为毫无驾驶经验的新手,我们实在……我们原本指望能得到一些指导与反馈,但实际上两者都少得可怜。此外,由于机械或点火系统出现故障,我们多次遇到汽车无法重新启动的情况,这需要我们寻求帮助,也破坏了整体的体验。颇具讽刺意味的是,他们似乎把更多时间花在强调损坏车辆所需承担的费用上,而不是帮助顾客顺利体验他们已经花钱购买的服务。
在撰写此评论之前。我直接联系了Drift Limits,给他们机会进行调查并作出回应。然而,他们既没有承认我们的遭遇,也没有做出任何善意的表示,只是声称教练对我们的描述予以否认,并拒绝承担任何责任。要知道,我手头有照片和视频为证——当时我的女友正在驾车,而教练却低头盯着自己的膝盖。
我明白漂移动作是一项难度很高的技能,没人能保证一定能成功。不过……我确实期望教练能够全身心投入,专心指导他们的学员。但根据我的实际体验以及该公司事后的反应来看,我并不推荐Drift Limits,并建议其他人考虑其他供应商。
