  • Full briefing from qualified instructors
  • Learn about racing lines and driving at speed
  • Drive an F1-style single-seater round a motor racing circuit

Driving an F1-style single-seater racing car is unlike anything else. You're strapped into the open cockpit with your legs stretched out into the nose of the car, the steering wheel in front of you and the gearstick between your legs. You're only a couple of inches off the ground and you'll know it; you can feel every bump and vibration and you'll have to fight not to oversteer, as your super-responsive car reacts to every tiny adjustment you make. This is driving at its limits, as done by the pros; just you and the car. Your experience starts with a safety briefing about high-speed driving. At selected locations you'll warm up with a session in a race-prepared sports saloon or sports car with your instructor, to learn the racing line and hone your circuit driving technique. Then you'll strap in to the single-seater, driving solo, putting all the theory into practice. No-one can hear you saying 'vroom', so just take control and enjoy the experience.

Locations:

Wigan, Lancashire; Andover, Hampshire; Castle Donington, Derbyshire; Corby, Northamptonshire; Chichester, West Sussex; Croft On Tees, North Yorkshire

More information

Participant Guidelines: You need a full manual driving licence (bring it with you on the day). Restrictions vary according to venue but as a guide the maximum weight is between 16 and 18 stone, minimum height is 5' to 5'2'' and maximum is 6'2'' to 6'5''.
Weather: Motor racing may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (like snow, ice or severe rain) which would make driving at speed dangerous. Give the venue a ring if you're in any doubt.
Duration: Sessions vary from circuit to circuit, but as a guide your experience will last for one to two hours including briefing, tuition, driving time and a debrief.
Numbers On Day: The number of participants varies; as a guide there will be around 20 people taking part, sharing six cars.
Spectators: Spectators are welcome, get them to bring a camera. Spectator facilities vary from circuit to circuit but are generally very good. Pets are not allowed at any of the circuits.
Dress Code: Wear trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and slim, flat-soled shoes, as the pedals in these cars are close together. Don't wear nylon. A helmet will be provided or you can bring your own if you have one (it will be safety checked before driving).
Availability: Most circuits operate at weekends and on selected weekdays. Weekends are always busy; please allow several weeks advance booking notice.
