Overview
Experience the atmosphere of Silverstone and feel like a genuine F1 racing driver with this exclusive Silverstone Single Seater Experience.
Engineered to give you a true F1 feeling, this car is like nothing you’ve ever driven before, boasting a manual four speed racing gearbox, unbelievable cornering grip, amazingly responsive handling and extreme speed. All your F1 heroes started out in cars similar to the one you’ll be driving, and your second session gives you the same amount of driving time as a typical single-seater race: this is the closest you’re ever going to get to open-wheeled racing without becoming a professional. You’ll be taught by an ARDS-licensed instructor, just like the racing professionals.

Greatest day- ever!
If you’re thinking of buying this as a gift or for yourself do it! Despite corona, I had an absolute blast- literally. The track day was the best thing I’ve had the pleasure of doing and I’d love to do it again. Very well organised, silverstone is a thing of beauty so much to take in and we got to sit and watch races after too (via the silverstone museum) Amazing day!

Great to get out on track!
The team were great, from the briefings down to the time out on the Stowe circuit. For what has been a miserable year for most, those 20 minutes I felt trouble free and happy. Single seater is a must for every petrol head!

Good but not a good as I’d expected!!
I had a great time don’t get me wrong, it was guttering I couldn’t change the date due to the weather and it tipped it down all day (not ideal in a topless car) I was soaked through! It would of been a much better experience on a dry day of course! Also you don’t get to race the Silverstone track like I expected, it was the inner track where they practice on, which really disappointed me. Other than that I had a great day would defo do it again in the summer

Fantastic experience
The crew at Silverstone was extremely professional and helpful. Clearly, they have tons of experience in organising such events and know how to ensure the safety on the track. Briefing before the race was very clear and informative. As for the driving - driving a single-seater is a unique experience I would recommend to anyone passionate about cars. Connection with machine is amazing, Can be a bit intimidating at first but then you get into the rhythm and it is unforgettable, pure joy.

Single seater racing at Silverstone
We took the Silverstone Tour followed by the single seater experience and it was a fantastic day out. It was great to see the garages where they are maintained and then see the finished product on the track. The pre track briefing was informative and such an experience. All the staff were great and can't fault the day at all...other than the weather. Would really recommend and can't wait to go back.

Formula Silverstone Experience
Excellent experience for petrol heads. I found my Karting experience helped keep it on the track in heavy rain. Great pre-race briefing especially on racing lines. Bring spectators and hope for a dry day. The car is quite forgiving to drive and fairly neutrally balanced. You will probably stall it a few times (I did) but it is easy to get going again without assistance. Good safety briefing and marshalling as you would expect from Silverstone.

Amazing fun and intense experience!
I did the full 20 minute session and had a brilliant time. It was raining which took a bit of an edge off the driving but in no spoilt the day. The briefing before getting in the car was comprehensive and informing. The 10 minute practice laps behind the pacing car helped to learn the racing lines and get comfortable with the car. The remaining 20 mins were a hoot driving completely under your own steam and pushing it as hard as you felt comfortable. Amazing and 100% will buy again. Thanks!

Great experience
My friend and I went to Silverstone for the Formula Silverstone single seater experience and went for the upgraded more expensive package. It was well worth the money and we really enjoyed it. It was the first time for me driving a non go kart single seater racer and it was fantastic. Really fast cars, good track and good instructors. We will be going back!!!

Really great experience
Amazing chance to drive a single seater. It was so much fun. Nice detailed briefing beforehand, and the 10minutes under the pace car was great to get used to driving then the 20minutes on our own was great. Really recommend this to anyone who loves racing or karting.

Single seat fun!
The Silverstone single seat racing experience is highly recommended. Well organised and easy to get started, you will soon be pretending to be the next Lewis Hamilton! 2 niggles, 1. You are hit with an extra £20 liability insurance. This absolves you from any liability on a $20k car but for an experience that costs nearly £200 you would expect it to be included. 2. Ensure you have clothing that covers legs and arms, if not you will have to wear the hot jacket and trousers provided.
