Motor Racing Thrill

Motor Racing Thrill

Driving a single seater around a proper race track is the stuff dreams are made of. After getting to know the track in a "hot hatch" with your instructor you will then get a chance to take the wheel of the ubiquitous Single Seater Vauxhall Lotus. With an impressive 2 litre finely race tuned engine in a chassis that weighs next to nothing you will fly around the course. It handles much like a formula one car - meaning that this is about as close as you can get to the real thing.

Agenda

The day will begin with a welcome and introduction including a thorough safety briefing & circuit techniques. Next will be 2 familiarisation laps followed by 4 laps in a 'hot hatch' with a professional racing driver / ARDS instructor. Then you will have 4 laps in the fantastic Vauxhall Lotus 2.0 litre single-seater, an autotest and finally an Individual Driving Assessment and Driving certificate.
