We are happy to offer no race car damage responsibility!
Everything included - nothing else to buy - no surprises!
-
A cheeky (but accurate) answer would be “slow enough to be safe and fast enough to be exciting!”... luckily, the formula racercars are low to the ground which greatly enhances the feeling of speed!
-
No, most racing schools take several days to teach that level of skill (plus, they also have racecar damage responsibility at that level)... we have found the amazing thrill of “piloting” these formulacars to be more than enough thrill and excitement for everyone!
-
None regarding the race cars... but yes, regarding the helmets (gloves, etc other racing gear we lend to you free of charge).
-
Not usually... we provide a wide array of sizing for all the racing equipment (most people wear just shorts & a t-shirt under the racing suit).
-
Yes !.. but please note there are specific areas they will need to stay within for safety (with children and pets being your responsibility to take care of).
-
Yes to photos & video taping (NO on board recording devices & NO drones allowed!).
-
Yes, over in the main building.
-
None.
-
No, we suggest people come prepared for weather and resort to your vehicle if needed.
-
