About

Compete in authentic 2000cc single-seater Formula 2 stockcars. Exciting to drive and uniquely designed, with a full safety cage and a gear stick positioned between your legs. After a briefing on safety and driving techniques, warm up with five practice laps, then it's competition time, driving in two race heats of the Stockcar Championship, eight laps per heat. You can also try the Professionals Challenge (in fully race prepared off-road Sierra bangers), the Del-Boy Challenge (in Reliant Robins), Push-Me-Pull-You Car (Strictly Come Dancing on four wheels) and the Nag Drag Challenge (driving blindfolded, following instructions from a co-driver). There is even a film to watch so you can see how the real pros race. The excitement builds as drivers' battle it out in the championship finals, with trophies for the winners (and certificates for all). The atmosphere is great with live PA commentary, race marshals and fans cheering you on. Lunch and refreshments are included.

My Husband Had A Fantastic Day - A Real Laugh!

My husband enjoyed all the different driving experiences on the day, but especially the actual stock car racing. And he won!

Brilliant experience

The whole experience was brilliant. I have used a number of different event organisers but I'll be sticking with Red Letter Days from now on. The whole experience was stress free and I knew exactly what I had to do and when. All the people there were fun and interested in you having a good time and in your safety.

Unforgettable Experience

I had an unforgettable experience on my Red Letter Day, the staff at Northamptonshire race track were brilliant, they made us a feel completely welcome. And even though I was the only female racing I had an amazing time and I will never forget that day.
