Driving Experience Days: Formula One racing has to be one of the most extreme forms of motorsport, as machines don't really come much quicker than the lightweight brilliance of F1. Unfortunately for us mere general public, we won't ever get the chance to take a chicane at 150mph or power up the straight with Lewis Hamilton hot on our tails - but for the next best thing, this Formula Ford single seat experience is ideal. With a 1600cc engine and a body that weighs next to nothing - this incredible vehicle will propel you up to some frightening speeds - and back down again in time for the corners!
Your single seat driving experience will begin with a safety brief from your instructor before donning the safety gear and getting ready to begin the motorsport, starting with a 2 lap passenger ride in a Ford Fiesta S. Demonstrating the racing lines and breaking points, this double passenger lap will soon be a memory after you've moved into the driver's seat and started lap 1 or 3 at the wheel yourself, gearing you up for the main event... the Formula Ford single seater. Now that you've familiarised yourself with the circuit, you can experience 6 unforgettable laps - solo! You'll then finish up back in the classroom for a debrief and to be presented with a certificate.

Questions about Formula Ford Driving Thrill
The Formula Ford Driving Thrill generally runs once a month from March to December.
Unlike most vehicles, the seats in the Formula cars are fixed - this therefore means that the amount of space in the vehicle itself cannot be adjusted. The height restriction is put in place for safety and comfort reasons, so is therefore very strict.
You will drive for a total of 6 laps in the formula cars after some sighting laps and practice in other cars
