Slicks & Spokes Race Day

This half day multi drive includes an Alfa Romeo, Single Seater Racer and a Classic Car.

A true track time treat. First a training session in Alfa Romeo's 156 sports saloon. Goodwood's sweeping circuit is then open to you as you take the wheel of a F2000 single seater racing car.   A change of pace follows as you are given 2 cars to drive from our impressive stable of classics. You could be behind the controls of a stunning Ferrari, a svelte E-Type Jaguar, a rumbling V8 AC Cobra, a majestic Aston Martin or a scintillating Porsche 911 RS.

After a briefing on circuit safety you will be taken to the track and instructed in a brand new Alfa Romeo Sports Saloon.   The second activity of the day is a drive in a single seater race car that is equipped with a 2.0l race engine, slick tyres and wings.   As if that wasn't enough you also get a choice of two wonderful Classic Cars from five to finish of the day.   You will be required to sign a disclaimer.   You will be on location for up to 3 1/2 hours.
