F1 Style Race Car Driving Experience - 5 Laps

Highlights

  • Take the wheel of a championship style Formula Ford race car
  • Tackle five exhilarating laps around Sydney Motorsport Park
  • Push your driving skills with unrestricted on track performance

Go behind the wheel of a F1 style, open wheel Formula Ford race car and put your driving skills to the test with 5 driving laps at Sydney Motorsport Park.

What's included?

  • Five laps in a Formula Ford race car
  • Driver instruction by real race car drivers
  • Coffee, tea and water supplied
  • All race and safety equipment provided: helmets, race suits and boots

Strap in for the thrill of driving a genuine Formula Ford race car and discover what it's like to pilot an open wheel F1 style machine built for speed. After instruction from experienced race drivers and a couple of orientation laps, you'll climb into the cockpit and take control for five heart racing laps around Sydney Motorsport Park's Corporate Hill section.

Feel every corner as you sit just inches from the track, secured by a six point racing harness with nothing but open air around you. With razor sharp handling, a purpose built racing gearbox and performance that once rivalled V8 Supercar lap times, this is an unforgettable driving experience for anyone who's ever dreamed of becoming a race car driver.

Would not let us change so we lost our money!

Nate 18 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

As an f1 fan the F1 Style 2-Seater Race Car Hot Laps was an awesome experience. The 4 hot laps was an adrenaline rush and extremely enjoyable. The staff and the driver were excellent.

The formula 1 racing was a bit of a let down

Ashley 21 June 2024

The experiebcs cost over $200 and was loterall over in a few minutes. My partner didn’t get to drive the car but instead was driven for 4 laps around a boring course. Massive waste of time and money

Formula Ford Drive

Adam 16 March 2024

Overall a really fun experience in these cars.. I was gifted the experience with 5 laps in the car… With never driving one before the experience was fun but in all reality you really need at least 20 laps to get the most out of it,,prob the first 5 getting to know the car,next 5 going a bit quicker & the last 10 you could have a good crack as by then you will have learned quite a bit more how to get more from the car & yourself… The track too is a bit disappointing,,very short & basically once you get up to speed & into 3rd gear that’s where you leave it,,,no need to be changing gears at all which would add to the experience if the circuit was a bit longer…

I purchased this gift for my 15 year old for his birthday and he absolutely loved the experience! He couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. I would highly recommend this experience for any avid Formula One fan. All of the staff at Anglo Racing were very friendly and happy also, which made the experience even better!
