Driving a single-seater Formula Ford racing car is unlike anything else. These are real race cars! You'll be strapped into the open cockpit by a six-point racing harness with the quick release steering wheel in front of you. You'll have the gear stick on your right connected to a 4-speed close ratio, purpose-built racing gearbox. Seated only a couple of inches off the ground you can feel every bump and vibration as your super-responsive car reacts to every tiny adjustment you make. You will drive 5 blistering laps of Sydney Motorsport Park, Corporate Hill Section of the South Circuit. This consists of 2 orientation laps in a road car and 5 Laps on your own.
If you'd prefer not to be behind the wheel, passenger experiences are also available.
