Your single seater driving experience starts with familiarisation laps of the professional race-standard circuit in Leicestershire in a performance training car.
Your instructor will explain the best way of making smooth, rapid progress around the track in readiness for your main 'solo' event.
You then advance into the world of single seaters, finding yourself strapped into the stripped out cockpit of a legendary, race tuned 1800cc Formula Ford. These open wheeled racers weigh next to nothing and handle like a dream. All current Formula One drivers started their careers going head to head in cars just like this - now it's your turn!
At the end of your experience you will be presented with an individual driving assessment and personalised certificate. If you're looking for an unusual and memorable gift idea then one of our racing gift vouchers may fit the bill nicely. Please view our main page for the full range of
racing car gifts using an IntotheBlue voucher.
The cars: Formula Ford 1.8 Litre single seater, 0-60 in 5 seconds, max speed 130mph.
The motor racing 'thrill' lasts approximately one hour and includes a welcome, introduction and driving brief, two familiarisation laps with an instructor driving a road car, four driving laps in the Formula Ford single seater racing car, a personalised driving assessment and certificate.
