About

There's fast, there's furious, and then there's Formula 1 - a whole other league of speed. You'll start off with a briefing and demo laps in a hot hatch or sports saloon. Then get behind the wheel and drive up to 17 laps of a single seater Formula Ford at Racing School venues, or five laps in a Porsche 911 or Ferrari at Mallory Park in Leicestershire. Then it's on to the main event - blow your mind with eight laps in a Tyrell at Mallory Park, or ten laps in a Forti-Corse or 1994 Arrows FA14 at other circuits. All these cars are ex-Formula 1: they might have retired from racing but they're guaranteed to give you an unforgettable driving experience. A few laps in these beauties will redefine your notion of speed, road holding and handling, and give you an adrenaline rush you can't imagine! At Mallory Park you'll also get to drive ten laps in an F3-style single-seater. Lunch, memorabilia and an F1 certificate are included, plus dinner and overnight accommodation for two.
