I did the Single Seater Driving Thrill at Silverstone experience in a Ford 1.6- great fun! The only comment I would make is the pace car was out for far too long and once we got racing the experience seemed to be over in seconds. Needless to say I overtook everyone!!

It was great! What an experience it was! We travelled down to Silverstone on Saturday 26th June, my “Single-Seater Experience” (courtesy of my wife) was not due to start until late in the afternoon, so we booked a room at a local venue for the night, made a day out of it and tagged it on to the start of our annual holiday. The weather couldn’t have been better.
Approaching the circuit the adrenaline started to flow, screaming tyres and the raw of engines revving filled the air and I’d still got a few hours to kill. I didn’t know how I was going to last! After booking in, time was spent viewing other experiences taking place (Lotus, Aston Martin and other “hot rides” etc). Conscious of the fact I couldn’t afford to eat too much as the extra weight would interfere with my lap times, a little light lunch was needed.
At the forefront of my mind was my single-seater experience. My time fast approached and soon enough there I was (race driver for the day) sat in my cockpit waiting behind the pace car for my thrill to begin! Then it was “Go! Go! Go!”.
I could remember my brother telling me from his experience a year ago to push the pace car, so that’s what I did. Just doing that, the heart rate and blood pressure started to rise! I held back a couple of times then on the straight and the odd bend I floored it. ”oh boy”!
After a few laps it was back in the pits. Everything OK? Are you ready to go it alone? Too right I was! Then now’s your chance to shine I thought to myself and away I went!
The power of the cars felt tremendous and it was such a pleasure not worry about on coming traffic or 5 points on your license! We’re not racing of course, it’s an experience! RIGHT! In my mind - now don’t forget you only have two overtaking spots so lets go for it. Right lets catch the driver up in front – Oh words just aren’t enough! Am I going to have enough time to get past before I reach my breaking point for the next corner, yes, yes ,yes!
What a fantastic day out, I never shut up talking about it! I was on such a high it was unreal. Highly recommended, best value for money experience I have ever had and can’t wait to do it again!! Thanks to all the staff for making my experience one I will never forget!
