You don't so much sit in a Formula Croft as get physically attached to the car. Tightly strapped into the cockpit, you become part of the car. Every bump, camber and vibration is transmitted through the driver, you know and feel exactly what is happening. Slick tyres and wings give razor sharp responses, try to relax behind the wheel, even the slightest driver input is a noticeable direction change.
Before the racing car there's time to get to grips with the race circuit in the fantastic Porsche Cayman. The mid engined car is great fun and incredibly rewarding to drive, it gives great driver feedback, accurate and responsive steering and great handling balance.
Firmly strapped into the cockpit the car is an extension of you. It will react to every input. When you brake it stops, turn the steering wheel and it darts left or right. Road cars seem soggy and unresponsive by comparison.
We also have the Ginetta G20 sports racing car for customers who are too tall to drive the single seat racing car. These sport cars are very fast and great fun to drive!
The latest Porsche Cayman is a genuine junior supercar. Similar in looks to the 911 but with a mid-engine layout.
