Description

Driving an Formula 1-style single-seater racing car is unlike anything else. You’re strapped into the open cockpit with legs stretched out into the nose of the car, with acceleration and handling that will blow you away. Learn the racing lines under expert tuition by driving four laps in the superb Honda Civic Type R. Then sit back and relax as the expert instructors take the wheel for some demonstration laps before it is your turn to take control of the single seater. Hurtle around the track for ten thrilling laps and feel the road as your super-responsive car reacts to every tiny adjustment you make. There’s a trophy for the day’s best driver and everyone receives a certificate.

Availability: Selected weekday and weekend dates throughout the year. Weekends are always busy; book at least six to eight weeks in advance.
