About F1 Motor Racing
Our Single Seater driving days are your chance to savour the glitz and glamour of F1 driving in a high performance Single Seater race car!
In days gone by the unforgettable adrenaline rush of F1 driving was preserved for professional drivers and the exceptionally wealthy, but not anymore now that Buyagift are offering a whole host of F1 driving days at great value prices. Get your taste of the high speed driving dream and see why Single Seater race cars remain the pinnacle of automotive design with our F1 driving experiences at famous race circuits like Brands Hatch and Silverstone - home of British motorsport.
The Facts - F1 Race Cars
-
In the motor industry, single seater cars are known as ‘open wheeled’ cars. The term is used to describe any vehicle where the wheels are outside the main body of the car. This feature increases the grip and traction control of the car, making them ideal for competitive high speed racing in F1 championships.
-
Single seater race cars have wings at both the front and the rear of the vehicle, as well as a very low and virtually flat undertray that creates additional aerodynamic downforce. So while the wings on a plane keep you in the air, these wings keep the car on the ground -a very important piece of equipment we’re sure you’ll agree!
-
The pinnacle of single seater racing is of course Formula 1, with the FI Driver’s Championship being the oldest of the three world championships awarded by the FIA each year. F1 is a serious money industry, in the 2007/08 season the teams involved spent a total of over £2Billion on construction and development, so Buyagift prices really are a bargain!

Customer Reviews of Classic and Supercar Driving Experiences
An absolutely fantastic driving experience. From the moment I arrived right through to getting out of the car and going home! The briefing before starting was excellent, and the laps in the Clio were great fun. Having the instructor there I felt really made a difference to not only my driving day, but the way I think about driving everyday! And the single seater! What can I say, fabulously fast, would I do it again? In a heart beat!
Dan Grocott, Rochdale

Driving a single seater through the tunnel in to one of the most important motor sport locations in history the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Words can't express the feeling you get putting your foot to the floor in a true racing car on your own around a race circuit like Goodwood - absolutely awesome and unforgettable! What a day! You MUST have this experience. Eat your heart out, Lewis Hamilton!
Chris Moxey, Hereford

I got a Single Seater Experience at Rockingham as a christmas gift. The race cars were amazing quality, and the adrenaline rush was great. The instructor was just superb, 111%! He gave me some really useful advice and tips on how to handle the cars. I would love to go single seater again, and really understand now why F1 driving is such a popular sport!
