Every year, those with an appreciation for horsepower and the smell of burning rubber converge on Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix. For those who can’t make it to the Australian Grand Prix, we have the next best thing - driving experiences including Formula 1 laps where you get to be the one behind the wheel. We turned to our customers to find out which experiences come in first place in their opinion. Here's what they had to say...
1. "Formula 1 experience hard to beat"
"Just like a real race team... You get strapped in, nerves start to build and then you're given the green light and off you go - and as fast as you want in a safety first format. Definitely counting down the days until I get to go back." - Tony, Melbourne VIC
