The Formula racing course A is a perfect outdoor activity. The course includes a saloon car demonstration and instruction laps with a qualified racing instructor. After this you will receive a comprehensive briefing, covering the basic driving of a single seater racing car including safety, cornering lines, gear changing, general track behaviour and discipline. This course will overlap for a half day, starting from morning until late afternoon.
After the briefing it is your turn to take the wheel and start racing. You will start out with exercise laps with tutoring of your instructor and will mark what you have learned so far during your briefing. Once you feel ready, the next step is to sit in the single seater, race specification Formula Ford. You will receive instruction on controls, driving position etc. You will then begin your formula racing, consisting of 7 laps, by following one of our instructors who will be driving another racing car (the pace car) ahead. When you have completed your lapping sessions, there will be another debriefing. After this the pacing car will not be ahead of you and you will be able to drive faster and smoother in this Formula racing experience.
At the end of the course you will receive certificate of completion of your Formula racing experience.
