Activity description :

Offer your children an exceptional experience by allowing them to drive real cars on the Piste Juniors at the legendary Circuit Paul Ricard.

Driving is carried out in total safety, under the permanent assistance of a state-qualified, specialized instructor:

  • For the introductory session, known as a "discovery lesson", the child is behind the wheel while the instructor operates the pedals.
  • During the subsequent private lessons, the child is given the autonomy to deepen his or her knowledge, enabling him or her to validate the skills acquired and gain access to higher-range vehicles and the trophies rewarded: Bronze Steering Wheel, Silver Steering Wheel and Gold Steering Wheel.

3 formulas are available

  • Discovery lesson: a compulsory 20-minute introduction for beginners. The child learns the basics: installation, positioning, safety, handling the controls. They can take their first laps around the track. 1 souvenir photo offered.
  • Elite Discovery: Discovery lesson + 1 private lesson for 40 minutes of lessons divided into 2 sessions of 20 minutes each. The child can drive 2 different cars! 1 free souvenir photo.
  • Stage Evolution: Discovery lesson + 3 private lessons. The child will take 3 lessons of 20 minutes each in addition to the discovery lesson. 1 free souvenir photo.

Cars driven

  • Smart for Two with automatic transmission for beginners.
  • Mini Cooper S (coupé or cabriolet) or a Smart Roadster Brabus.
  • During subsequent children's driving lessons and courses, the instructor may suggest higher-range vehicles (BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster or Carrera), depending on the child's level of ability and comfort.

This activity is an ideal GIFT for a child's birthday, Christmas, as a reward for good school results, or simply to show your affection. As well as giving them the basics they'll need for their future driving skills, the lessons guarantee a unique experience and unforgettable memories to share with the whole family!

My two children, aged 7 and 9, had a great time. It was also great for us to see them smiling and full of memories. Very friendly and educational team, we'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.
