Motor Racing Experience

Price: £185
Duration: 2½ hrs
Ref: ITACM
 
 
  • Full briefing from qualified instructors
  • Demo laps in a Mazda 3 MPS
  • Drive three laps in a Porsche Cayman
  • Drive five laps in a F1-style single-seater round the circuit
  • Finish with a high speed passenger ride

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 and the steering wheel in front of you. You're only a couple of inches off the ground and you'll know it; you can feel every bump and vibration and will 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. Start with a 30 minute safety briefing about high-speed driving. Then your instructor will drive you for three laps in a Mazda 3 MPS to demonstrate the racing lines and circuit driving techniques. Next you'll drive for three laps of the circuit in a Porsche Cayman. Then finally, strap into the Formula Renault single-seater, driving solo for five laps. See how it's done at high-speed with a passenger ride driven by your instructor in a Caterham to finish off.

Locations:

Croft On Tees, North Yorkshire
