Why buy from us?
Experience the thrill of driving a single seater race car! These Formula Renault 2000 cars are similar to those as driven by many F1 stars including Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen. After an initial lap following a pace car to find the optimum race line, the pace car pulls in and off you go for 5 more unaccompanied laps to properly experience the thrill of a carbon-fibre, single seater race car complete with racing 'slicks' and full aerodynamics.

Overall a great day, the car was raw and mechanical in feel. As in my mind a race car should be. The sound was awesome at high revs.
A longer track would have been more enjoyable, with a straight long enough to move further up the gears.
But I do understand the reasoning to limit top speed for safety reasons.
I would definitely do it again.. Thank you to all the Team
