Description

Formula Silverstone single-seaters sit just inches from the ground, are incredibly responsive and have been expertly engineered to provide a genuine racing thrill. Going flat out around this purpose-built motor racing training facility, experience what it’s like to be a Formula 1 champion. Start with a briefing from a fully qualified instructor to help demonstrate racing lines and track driving techniques in preparation for the drive ahead. Then take the wheel of the sensational single-seater, which can go from 0 – 60 mph in under five seconds, for a 15 minute session. Begin with three laps driving behind a pace car, before being let loose for the remainder of the session to push those driving skills to the absolute limit!
