Mercedes AMG GTR F1 Safety Car Driving Experiences

Formula 1 fans should be familiar with the Mercedes AMG GTR due to its prominent unveiling at the Goodwood festival of Speed back in 2016. Since then, it has been regularly used as the F1 safety car in 2018 for the Formula One World Championship and in 2020 at the Tuscan Grand Prix where it donned a striking red livery to commemorate Scuderia Ferrari's 1,000th Grand Prix start.

A red livery has become a stand out feature for this car as for the 2021 F1 season the Mercedes AMG GTR wore this rather than the traditional silver to increase the chances of drivers seeing the car in case of poor visibility.

This car has enjoyed a significant role in F1 for good reason. Its impressive M178 engine can churn out a powerful output of 430 kW (585 PS; 577 hp) at 6,250 rpm and can reach from 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds. With a top speed of 198mph, this car has so much potential and is regularly sighted at F1 events where there have been emergencies on the track.

If you want to get up close and personal with a slice of F1, you’re definitely going to want to book a Mercedes AMG GTR driving experience.

F1 fans will know there aren’t many opportunities where you can get behind a vehicle that has such a prominent role in the sport. This rare opportunity to drive a Mercedes AMG GTR shouldn’t slide under the radar as you will have a unique chance to experience its powerful engine as you race around a track near you.

Follow in the footsteps of Monaco and Silverstone where this car has both been spotted, as you witness the sheer speed and suspension of this high performance car. This is a rare opportunity to drive this safety car and would make the ideal special gift for a F1 fan in your life.

Alternatively, you can book a direct date using the F1 Safety car calendar if you know when you’re free and are keen to get a date secured in the diary.

All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.

When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.

Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.

Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
