racing driver experience from virgin experience days

Hit the track in single seater racing car for some serious motor racing fun!

When you arrive at the venue you will be given a safety demo before you can be unleashed onto the track. At first you will familiarise yourself with the track and new racing techniques as advised by your instructor in a high performance sports or saloon car. Once you and your instructor are confident in your abilities on the track, you will be allowed to jump in the single seater racing car and burn some rubber. Try to remember the advice of your instructor as you drive at exhilarating speeds until you get the flag to bring you into the pits.
