The Experience

The Formula Plus course is a more comprehensive introductory course. The format is the same as Formula B, then a further briefing, with sessions on your own with no pace car to follow, you will be on your own on the track. There is much more to think about, and our instructors will be assessing individual potential during the additional 5 lap session.

The Formula course Plus 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 driving. 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. During your additional laps in this Formula course Plus , the instructor will discuss any points or problems you will have during your course.

At the end of your course a certificate of completion will be hand out to you.
