Event Flow
The Under 18’s Holiday Special gives young drivers and accompanying adults, one full 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.
Height Restrictions
The following height restrictions apply – minimum 4’5” (135cm), maximum is 6’11” (210cm).
Spectators
As many friends and family as you like are welcome to come and watch.
Dress Code
Dress comfortably (i.e. in loose fitting clothing) and wear flat-soled shoes rather than trainers.
Cars and Circuits
For Open Practice, the venue will by default be running the circuit of the month (Often coincidng 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 enquire when booking. For example, many professional racing drivers use The Race Centre to practice before upcoming races.
