Formula 1 Driving Experience
Here's your chance to drive an ex-Grand Prix Formula One car around a real race circuit. With a top speed of 200mph and 0-60 in just 2.8seconds, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any motor racing fan.
The Experience
Your experience starts with a comprehensive safety briefing. You will then start your track activity with five familiarisation laps of the circuit in a sports saloon being driven by an instructor. You will then progress on to drive the saloon car for 10 laps before you climb behind the wheel of both the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Ferrari 360 for two 6 mile sessions, honing your skills for the move on to a Single Seater for a paced 10 lap session. The development continues, next you'll drive seven un-paced laps in the single seater followed by 10 laps in the stunning Formula 3 single seater before 10 mind-blowing laps in the awesome 1996 Italian Forte Corsa or 1994 Arrows.
These cars, once driven by Luca Badoer and Aguri Suzuki are now yours to live the dream.
Lunch, memorabilia and an F1 certificate are also included.
To make your Formula 1 Driving experience with The Racing School even more special the package includes overnight accommodation for two at the 4 star Cottons Hotel & Spa Cheshire*. For more information on the Cottons Hotel and Spa Click here
