The Formula F1000 has been one of our most popular single seater race cars since we added it to our fleet many years ago. And now, we're proud to introduce our latest experience with the fastest such car we have available to drive, the all new F1000 Academy driving experience. Upon arrival at the venue, following your welcome and sign on, you'll meet with the driving instructor for a 30 minute briefing session. Both this and the subsequent passenger, reaction training and sighting laps in a track taxi car will get you accustomed to what to look out for - braking and acceleration points, racing lines, as well as general track safety and etiquette. Then, this powerful racing machine is yours to drive for a total of 6 laps, the first four of which will be under yellow flag conditions, and the remaining two with 1:1 instruction from the team. It's the perfect value way to get acquainted with even a small bit of what an F1 driver must feel!
