Feeling lost amongst all these driving courses? Don't panic, we're here to help! Below is some advice on choosing the right course.

Single-seater driving courses

In single-seater racing, the top category is Formula 1, but F1 cars are more complicated to drive than Formula Renaults because of their power, which is why some people opt for Formula Renault driving courses in the first place. To make sure you don't have any trouble getting to grips with F1, all our Formula 1 driving experience packages include an introduction to single-seaters with two series of laps in a Formula Renault 2.0!
