Overview
Why buy from us?
The Formula F1000 Driving Thrill is one of the fastest single seater experiences in the UK, and you can now enjoy 30 mind-blowing laps around our purpose-built racing track at Bovingdon Airfield.The Formula F1000 will go from 0.100mph in 4.75 seconds which is incredible. The experience starts with a driver safety and technique briefing, followed by circuit demonstration laps in a performance vehicle, where you will learn the basic racing lines. You'll then take the wheel of the Formula F1000. Sitting just centimetres off the ground you'll feel the thunderous power as you shift through the gears on your 30 breathtaking laps of the track. You will also receive a high-speed passenger ride in a performance car to put the icing on the cake to the experience.

The event organiser has a 1 spin rule. Spin the car once and you're kicked out.
I feel this is very un fair. Especially in wet conditions. There was no prior warning of this when booking and organising the experience. It is dropped on you last minute before you get into the car. Feel as though I have wasted my money.
Instruction and staff were good. The car had a fault but was fixed within an hour

Tom who took me out of for the morning was very calm and reassuring, even after having a moment out on track! The car was great fun and the track is dedicated to the specific car so no other drivers to worry about!
