Do I need a racing licence or any prior track experience?

No racing licence is required. You do need a valid domestic driver's licence held for at least one year (two years if you're aged 19–25). A professional instructor will guide you throughout the session.

Can I drive if I've only ever driven automatic cars?

All drivers must be able to operate a manual transmission vehicle. The GT4 uses paddle shifters, but a working understanding of manual gearboxes is a requirement before you can participate.

What's the difference between the two ticket options?

Both options give you the same driving session with an instructor and insurance included. The video-recording option adds your onboard camera footage so you can keep a record of your drive.

Are there height or weight restrictions?

Yes. Drivers must be between 160 cm and 190 cm tall and weigh no more than 105 kg. These limits are set by the car's safety harness and seat specifications.

Can friends or family watch?

Spectators are welcome and can watch from the circuit's designated viewing areas free of charge.

Wear clothing that covers your shoulders, arms and legs. Closed-toe shoes with soft soles — trainers are the best choice. Sandals, flip-flops and high heels are not permitted.
