F1 Style Race Car Driving Experience - 20 Laps

Highlights

  • As raced in the Formula Ford Championships
  • 20 blistering laps of Sydney Motorsport Park
  • NO rev-limiters -- drive the car to your limits

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 similar to that of a V8 Supercar which is significantly faster than a Porsche 911.

What's included?

  • 20 Laps in a 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 20 blistering laps of Sydney Motorsport Park, Corporate Hill Section of the South Circuit. This consists of 2 additional orientation laps in a road car and then 20 laps on your own.

If you'd prefer not to be behind the wheel, passenger experiences are also available.

Would not let us change so we lost our money!

Nate 19 October 2025

Extremely Disappointed. My son said he tried to change the booking and was declined. We were not offered a refund. Very expensive loss of money

Malcolm 23 January 2022

Great experience. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors and just a great blast driving the Formula Ford cars.

What a learning experience!

Adam 22 January 2022

The team at Anglo don't want people to just have a good time, they make sure you learn something too! If your interested in any kind of motor racing i couldn't recommend this enough. They teach you enough to get out there but also allow you to push your self (to a safe limit). I almost booked another 20 laps on the spot it was that good!
