Begin your Formula Ford day learning how to operate the controls of this single-seater open-wheel racing car.
Cover the lay-back driving position, the stubby, right hand 4 speed gearshift and the non-synchromesh down-changing technique.
Then it's onto the circuit in a road car to learn about the raceway, the racing lines, apexes and braking markers.
With the instruction over, you are ready to climb behind the wheel of a fully-fledged, single seat Formula Ford. The racing car has a 1800cc Zetec engine mated to a Hewland racing transmission and Formula specification clutch and flywheel. The car produces incredible power and being so light, it can easily beat a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and V8 Supercar.
It's your time to revel in it.
Enjoy the sensations of driving the car for the first time. Test your skills and enjoy the exhilaration of driving on a real race track.
Drive for 10 laps and feel what it's like to be a racing driver with the tight surround of an open cockpit, a super sensitive gearstick and the track just millimetres below.
