Overview

Highlights

  • Two heart pumping experiences in one day
  • You will get to feel the speed of both a 2-seater and single seater racing car
  • Includes driver instruction by real race car drivers

Experience the unforgettable thrill of driving an F1-Style, open-wheel Formula Ford Race Car. Built for speed it is capable of achieving lap times significantly faster than a Porsche 911. Plus experience 2 exhilarating Hot Laps with you in the passenger seat, driving at unimaginable speeds!

What's Included?

  • Five laps in a Formula Ford race car
  • Two hot laps in a F1-style, 2-seater Formula Ford race car
  • Includes driver instruction by real race car drivers
  • Coffee, tea and water supplied
  • All race and safety equipment provided: helmets, race suits and boots

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's, Corporate Hill Section of the South Circuit. This consists of an additional 2 orientation laps in a road car and then 5 Laps on your own, to put into practice what you have been taught.

Next up is your Hot Laps. This purpose built F1-style, 2-seater Formula Ford racing car is unlike anything else you've experienced. You will be hammering around the circuit with a Professional Driver for the ride of your life! He won’t hold back, sliding and drifting this machine through the corners, to millimeter perfection, nailing the brake markers way past your expectation as you are pinned into the 6 point harness. Witness the feeling of the wind blasting over your body and the roar of the engine - just inches behind your head as you power out of the corner. This car has over 2.5Gs of lateral grip, the cornering forces are unbelievable.
