Event Flow
Most visitors coming to do Open Practice at The Race Centre, will do an hour of track time. This will almost always be taken as three separate twenty minute sessions. This means that a driver or small group of drivers doing an hour of track time, will typically be at the venue for about an hour and a half.

As many friends and family as you like are welcome to come and watch.
Dress Code

Cars and Circuits
For Open Practice, the venue will by default be running the circuit of the month (Often coinciding with those on the F1 calendar). A number of cars will also have been selected and set-up for use on that circuit. Each combination is selected and tested to ensure maximum customer enjoyment. Should you have reasons for a particular car and circuit combination then please inquire when booking. For example, many professional racing drivers use The Race Centre to practice before upcoming races.
