F1 Driving Experience - The Cars
The choice of cars we have available to you are unrivalled anywhere else in the world. Larrousse, Arrows, Benetton and new for this year, an ex-Jean Alesi Prost AP04 – V10 - truly a thing of beauty. All are equipped with traction control, steering wheel mounted paddle-shift, carbon brakes and a 700 BHP 3.5 litre Cosworth V8 that generates speed you can only dream of. Of course the power is only half the story, get the brakes up to temperature and your perception of “performance” will be altered forever.
F1 Driving Experience - The Circuits
Of course it is only possible to fully appreciate a
Formula 1 car by driving it in the environment for which it was designed – a
Grand Prix circuit and that is exactly what we have arranged for you here.
Both
Barcelona F1 Driving Experience and Magny Cours
F1 Driving Experience offer a tremendous challenge with a fantastic mix of
every type of corner and super-long fast straights. At both circuits you can
reach speeds of up to 300 km/h if you are so inclined.
These are the very same
circuits used in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with the same high standards
of safety: extensive tyre walls, large run-off areas, video observation and
full marshalling etc.
F1 Driving Experience - The Climate
Advanced systems such as traction control and ABS on board the cars mean that the driving course can still run in unfavourable weather conditions. This combined with a choice of weather friendly locations away from wet and windy England mean that it is extremely unlikely that your day will be curtailed due to bad weather.
F1 Driving - The Exclusive Experience
And you won’t arrive to find a crowd of other
participants. A maximum of just 15 drivers per day ensures you get the
attention you require for an activity of this nature. Best of all there is a
truly refreshing approach from the instructors who are genuinely keen for you
to really experience the incredible
power and g-forces generated by these cars.
A world apart from the usual UK
driving school “sausage factory” approach with artificial rev limits and
over-bearing instructors.
F1 Drive - The Ultimate Driving Experience
The whole experience is beyond description. For an independent view from one of our previous drivers just ask! We have put well over 1000 drivers behind the wheel of an F1 and they all love telling the story again and again. It is the stuff that dreams are made of.
