The 6-hour experience begins with a briefing and outfitting, followed by a tutorial on the cockpit layout, gauges, switches, seating position, pedals, and gear changing. Our experts will guide you through the circuit in a standard road car, and then it's your turn to take over the driver's seat of the Formula Ford. You will complete six laps following a pace car.
Your second session is a practice 6-lap drive, followed by a debriefing where you can learn from your performance. Then, it's time for a 6-lap timed qualifier where you will put your skills to the test. You'll need to master the racing lines to achieve the best time.
Finally, it's time to race for real. You'll have six laps to show off your skills and compete against other drivers. The winner is the one with the fastest average time. Will you be the one to hold the race trophy?
