Live an extraordinary experience

With the Gold Performance Pack, take the wheel of a 2010 Formula 1 car powered by a naturally aspirated V8 engine producing over 750 horsepower at 18,000 rpm. As the last generation of Formula 1 cars with naturally aspirated engines, these machines represent an iconic era of the sport’s premier class. Their power, their level of aerodynamics and their ability to exploit speed offer unique sensations usually reserved for professional drivers.

Preparation worthy of an F1 driver

As with each of our programmes, your experience begins with an introduction at the wheel of our Formula 4 (F4) cars. With their carbon monocoque, 6-speed sequential gearbox and advanced aerodynamics, these single-seaters help you get used to what makes driving a racing car special before stepping up a level. Once you are ready, it is time for Formula 1.

Take the wheel of a 2010 V8 F1

Settle into the seat of a genuine Formula 1 car and discover a machine producing over 750 horsepower at 18,000 rpm. Blistering acceleration, demanding braking, pinpoint racing lines and exceptional aerodynamic grip: every lap puts you face to face with the performance of a single-seater built to reach the limits of driving.

Just like a professional driver

The Formula 1 Gold Pack is about much more than driving a Formula 1 car. You are placed in conditions close to those of a racing driver. As soon as you are strapped into the car, you are in radio contact with your track engineer and your coach. Their advice guides you throughout your session to help you optimise your racing lines, braking and gear changes. Your tyres are also brought up to temperature with tyre warmers, so you head out on track with tyres ready to make full use of the car’s performance.

The Magny-Cours Grand Prix circuit

This driving experience takes place on the Grand Prix circuit at Nevers Magny-Cours (Nièvre), FIA Grade 1 approved and home of the French Formula 1 Grand Prix from 1991 to 2008. A fast, technical layout, worthy of these cars’ performance, where the most prestigious drivers in Formula 1 have gone head to head.

An experience without compromise

Our Formula 1 cars run without a pace car in front of you, so you can make full use of the car’s potential and concentrate on your driving. Our team of instructors, coaches, engineers and technicians is with you at every stage of your experience to help you get the best out of this exceptional machine.

Part 1/2 In terms of the actual experience, I had a fantastic day—I can’t fault that at all. However, from an organizational standpoint, it was a complete joke. Things went wrong right from the start leading up to the Formula 1 experience; there was a "gift box" that had been sent but couldn't be located, and I received absolutely no support or assistance while trying to track it down. I had to figure everything out—and I mean *everything*—entirely on my own, including finding out where the gift box had ended up (they couldn't even provide me with a tracking number). As a result, I spent nearly two weeks working full-time, day in and day out, trying to trace the package. Then, after I managed to track down the gift box (entirely on my own initiative), it turned out to be incomplete: - A memory stick was missing (I still don't actually know what its purpose was). - It contained a voucher for three Formula 1 laps, whereas I had booked and paid for four. Furthermore, the plan was to receive the necessary information about two weeks prior to the event. It was supposed to include useful information such as the schedule, arrival times and locations, a request for clothing sizes, an outline of what to expect on the day, and so on. However, that email never arrived; eventually, five days beforehand, I reached out myself to ask what the plan was. But here is the worst part. When booking, I paid an extra fee to have an onboard video recorded. On the day itself, just before getting into the car, my girlfriend and I were already concerned about whether the video would actually happen (since there was no camera mounted on the car at all). The absence of that video would have had disastrous financial consequences for both me and my sponsor. The sponsorship agreement included a penalty clause stating that if I failed to provide the onboard video to my sponsor, he would no longer be required to provide financial support for the experience, and I would have to pay a penalty of €5,000. Despite mentioning this—both my girlfriend and I did so—to two separate LRS Formula staff members no fewer than eight times right up until the moment of boarding, we were assured that the onboard video would be taken care of (and we had explicitly explained the consequences to the staff members in question several times).

Je souhaite à tout passionné de vivre une expérience avec LRS. Le staff est à la hauteur des monoplaces, bienveillants, passionnés et ultra sympathiques. Pour ceux qui auront la chance de conduire une F1, sachez que plus grand chose n’aura de goût après! Absolument incroyable, incroyable, incroyable, incroyable…..
