The Formula F1000 Driving Thrill is one of the fastest single seater experiences in the UK, and you can now enjoy 10 mind-blowing laps around our purpose built race track at Bovingdon Airfield. The Formula F1000 will go from 0.100mph in 4.75 seconds which is incredible. The experience will start off with drivers safety and techniques briefing, followed by passenger, reaction training and circuit demonstration laps in a track taxi car, where you will learn the basic racing lines. Then you will take the wheel of the Formula F1000. Sitting just centimetres off the ground you will feel the thunderous power as you shift through the gears on your 10 breathtaking laps of the track, your first four of which will be under yellow flag conditions, whilst the remaining six will be under 1:1 tuition from the instruction team at the venue. You will also receive a high-speed passenger ride in a performance car to put the icing on the cake to the experience!
