Do I need any experience?

No - all you need is a driving license for a manual car (bring this with you!)

Our world class squadron of professional racing drivers are there to guide you, make you comfortable and get you up to speed safely, in a way that is accessible to all abilities.

Do I need to bring anything?

We provide (almost) everything you need for the day, but you should bring:

  • Your driving licence – A valid full UK licence (or international equivalent) for a manual car. You won't be able to participate if you forget this.
  • Comfortable clothing – Wear lightweight, non-restrictive clothing suitable for driving. It must cover your arms and legs; without this, we cannot allow you to participate.
  • Sensible, flat shoes – Heels, sandals, crocs, or any open-toe show is not allowed for safety reasons. Race car pedal-boxes are tight, so big clunky shoes are not ideal. Aim for something with a flat bottom, that covers your feet, and ideally with a thin sole to allow you to achieve a greater feeling of the pedals beneath your feet.
  • Racing gear (optional) – We'll provide your helmet - if you have a race suit, gloves and boots, you can bring those if you wish, but they are not required.
  • Medical essentials – If you have any medical conditions requiring medication (e.g., insulin, inhalers), ensure you have them with you.
  • Spectator essentials – If bringing guests, consider weather-appropriate clothing; this is an outdoor event.

If you're unsure about anything, feel free to ask!

Participants must be at least 21 years old to drive the MINI, and 25 to drive the Radical, and you must hold a valid full UK driving licence (or international equivalent) for a manual car.
