Stag Event Flow
Your event begins with group registration, a quick briefing and your qualifying sessions. Qualifying determines some early points and the first start grids. Everyone gets equal amounts of racing regardless.
The adrenaline really starts to pump as you find yourself on the grid for your first race. You will need to keep your cool as you race wheel to wheel against the competition. Your event will start with a lower powered race car to allow everyone to gain confidence before racing an incredible modern F1 car. The top three drivers will be awarded trophies at the end of your event.
We will always be focused on giving you as much racing as possible whilst you are with us. But it’s ultimately your corporate event and we run it at your pace. If you want back to back races with no stopping then that’s what we will give you. When comparing like for like with go karting, you will typically get approx double the track time.

We can't say enough how much we loved our afternoon at The Race Centre. Steve did not stop for the rest of the day about how it was apparently my fault that he lost it on the start line of the last race! Classic!Gary Jenkins
