This package includes a training session to test your control ability in a low powered car that is a test of your timing sense and response times. This is carried out with realistic driving exercises as you are put through your paces.

Then we progress onto driveline test on an oval track with a medium powered open wheeler car and finally onto a city track with all the bends, hairpins and straights. With the rookie training over, we move onto race time on one of a number of world famous tracks in a high powered modern Formula One Sauber race car or a 1979 Formula One Car.

After a short refresher break and completion of your training record the serious stuff begins. First we review the actual track and learn a little of the history and even go to visit it on Google Earth so you gain an appreciation of where you will be racing.

This next phase will consist of a multi-lap virtual GP against a full field of race cars, complete with pit stops, split second timing.

Before the event proper and taking the Green light, initially you will travel the circuit in auto pilot giving you an eye popping speed experience and first hand you will see and feel pro driving ability.

You will be pushing your drive skill abilities to the limit at high speed, coming into corners at break neck speed and accelerating to over 150 within a second, avoiding other cars, monitoring your petrol, damage control, timing pit stops, finding the best drive line and changing gears, brakes, acceleration all within seconds will be a real test of your muscle memory, circuit recall and co-ordination skills.

After your virtual GP is completed we will review your race over coffee, issue your drive report and award your Graduation Certificate.

Your Virtual GP Event maybe broadcast live online … imagine a world wide audience following your Virtual GP Career!

When was the last time you both went out and did some activities together. Or left the kids with Grand Parents, locked the garden shed and went to hang out doing something completely different.

We can set you up racing against each others time or you can race against a field of virtual cars on a race circuit.

We are only offering this on certain days, so it pays to book a few days in advance so we can ensure the race track is clear just for you both. This event would make a lovely surprise date for your partner and do something different and fun together. So come on guys, get your lady and try to impress her like you once did when you dated regularly before the kids arrived. Now impress her once more as her very own race car champion.
