Formula Race Car Experience

We have a fleet of 10 Single Seater Racing Cars and numerous Honda Civic Type R’s so the whole group will be entertained, with minimum waiting time.

Multiple cars will be on track so there’s a great racing feeling but without too many cars to spoil your fun! It is an exclusive event for your Group only on track and we can’t wait to see your smile when you jump out the car after taking the chequered flag and tell everyone how much fun you had!

Knockhill was the first place that David Coulthard drove a Single Seater so you really are following in the wheel tracks of Legends.

On the Day

You will be buzzing with excitement as you climb into your very own Formula Race Car. Learn the best racing technique at the wheel of a Honda Civic Type R, sit back and relax as our talented instructors take the wheel for your demonstration drive, pay attention as it’s soon your turn to take control and hurtle around the track just inches from the ground on our international racing circuit as you drive your Formula Race Car. These cars are quick, slick and deliver an awesome driving experience.

Formula Race Car

The excitement begins as you climb into the cockpit of the Formula Race Car and take a seat just inches above the tarmac. With a light body, the power to weight ratio is awesome. A long wheel base offers stable cornering in all weathers; the 1.8 litre, 16 valve mid-engine allows for speeds in excess of 100 mph.

The Type R responds instantly to the driver, no hesitation. Underneath the sculpted bonnet lies a four cylinder VTEC TURBO engine. It’s no surprise to discover this gives the Type R the ability to sprint from 0-62 mph in 5.8 seconds and achieve 169 mph top speed.
