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!
