Single Seater Motor Racing Experience by from Red Letter Days

Strapped into the open cockpit with legs stretched out into the nose of the car, the steering wheel in front of you and the gearstick between your legs. You're only a couple of inches off the ground, can feel every bump and vibration and you'll have to fight not to oversteer, as your super-responsive car reacts to every tiny adjustment. This is driving at its limits, as done by the pros. Start with a safety briefing about high-speed driving. At selected locations you'll warm up with a session in a race-prepared sports saloon or sports car with your instructor, to learn the racing line and hone your circuit driving technique. Then strap in to the single-seater, driving solo, putting all the theory into practice.

Availability: Most circuits operate at weekends and on selected weekdays. Weekends are always busy; please allow several weeks advance booking notice.Weather: Motor racing may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (like snow, ice or severe rain) which would make driving at speed dangerous.
