Description

Get ready for the UK’s only F1 driving experience! Start with by five demo laps in a sports saloon, before driving the saloon for ten laps. Then drive for six miles in both the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Ferrari 360. Drive ten laps in a single-seater Formula Ford behind a pace car before enjoying seven un-paced laps. Next, upgrade to a stunning Formula 3 single-seater for ten laps. Next up is the main event, with ten laps in either the 1996 Italian Forti-Corse FG03 (as driven by Luca Badoer), or the 1994 Arrows FA14 (as driven by Aguri Suzuki). These 600 bhp machines redefine notions of speed and road handling and provide a huge adrenaline rush! Lunch, memorabilia and a Formula 1 certificate are included on this sublime driving experience.
