Description

Want to try something a bit different? How about racing an Italian Piaggio Ape around an outdoor circuit? Exclusive to Red Letter Days and as seen in Top Gear magazine, this is a rip-roaring crazy thrill ride. Begin with an introduction on how to drive this three wheeled Italian stallion, before being split into teams of two and driving 20 minutes of practise laps to determine qualifying positions. When it’s time to begin, sprint across the track, get in the right Ape, start the engine and go in true Le Mans style. During the 40 minute race, work out strategy within your team, with pit stops to change drivers. At the end the top three teams get trophies and each team takes home their time sheet. Have you got what it takes?
