Get behind the wheel of a 40mph kart on an outdoor circuit
Receive a safety briefing
Enjoy 20 minutes driving on the 600 metre National Circuit

Here's your chance to get in the driving seat for once and show the old folks how to really drive! This fantastic outdoor circuit is where a lot of top Formula 1 drivers first got into racing before being lured away by the big bucks. In fact it was here, aged just 11, that Lewis Hamilton was first discovered as a potential champion. Start by receiving your safety briefing and then let your competitive streak loose with a 20 minute session on the 600 metre National Circuit. You'll be behind the wheel of a petrol kart which reaches speeds of up to 40 mph (and believe us, that will feel twice as fast in a kart). So go ahead and release your inner speed demon!
