Formula Renault Driving Experiences - News

What is a Formula Renault driving experience?

Created from the same DNA as today's Formula One cars, the Formula Renault was built from the ground up to go fast - fast around corners, fast on the straights, fast everywhere. The single-seater carbon fibre chassis bolted to a 130 BHP engine, is capable of accelerating you from 0-60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds.

The well respected Formula Renault has been raced since the early 1970's and is seen as a stepping stone to series' like GP2 and Formula One, with former Formula Renault champion Lewis Hamilton testament to that.

Typically, a Formula Renault driving experience consists of an introduction and welcome, followed by a drivers safety briefing, then tuition and instruction with your instructor for the day. Once you're suited and booted in the provided race suit, helmet and gloves, you'll be all set for the thrill of a lifetime.

Where are Formula Renault experiences?
