The F1000 Single Seater Driving Experience is perfect for motorsport lovers and adrenaline junkies alike. It’s the closest thing to being a Formula 1 driver, and makes an unforgettable gift for birthdays and special occasions.
Suitable for ages 17 and over (with a full manual driving licence), this experience offers the rare chance to take the wheel of a genuine, purpose-built racing machine. With a high-revving 1000cc engine and a featherlight composite chassis, these race cars deliver incredible acceleration, 0 to 100 mph in just 4.75 seconds, and can stop just as fast.
From the moment they’re strapped into the ultra-low monocoque cockpit, the driver will feel the raw power, precision handling and pure speed that make these single seaters a favourite among racing enthusiasts. With no ABS or traction control, it's a true test of nerve and skill, an authentic taste of F1 performance.
The specially designed B17 Bomber Circuit adds to the excitement, allowing drivers to unleash the full power of the F1000 as they build confidence with each lap. With slick tyres, paddle shifting and racing flat-shift technology, every moment on the track is thrilling.
This is more than just a driving day, it’s a bucket-list-worthy adventure, perfect for anyone who dreams of life in the fast lane. Give the gift of speed, power, and pure racing adrenaline with the F1000 Single Seater Driving Experience.Â
