Fasten your seatbelts: this is one wild ride! After a few laps to get to know the track as a passenger in a Porsche Cayenne, you’ll get behind the wheel of another dream car: a Formula 4. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced driver, you’ll step into the shoes of a real race car driver. Thrills guaranteed!

The Car: Formula 4

If you want to test drive a single-seater race car, this is the one to try! Equipped with a sequential gearbox and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, you’ll experience the same sensations as a race car driver. Its 170Cv 4-cylinder engine will take you from 0 to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds.

The Track: La Ferté Gaucher Circuit (1.6 km)

Located in Seine-et-Marne (77), about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Paris, the Circuit de la Ferté Gaucher features a 1.6-km track designed for drifting. The track is sprayed with water during sessions to allow drivers to safely initiate and control drifts at controlled speeds. Its sequence of turns is ideal for learning how to modulate the throttle, countersteer, and keep the car sliding from one turn to the next, under the supervision of an instructor.

Course Schedule (2.5 hours)

• A briefing will be held on-site before the session.
• At the scheduled time, you’ll need to complete a few formalities (present your driver’s license and printed voucher, sign a waiver, and pay a deposit). You’ll then board a minibus for introductory laps around the track.
• Then it’s time for your first series of laps driving completely on your own, alone in the car.
• Once you’ve completed your laps, you’ll be presented with a certificate.

Allow about 2.5 hours total for your activity.

The exact time slot for your appointment will be confirmed approximately one week before the activity; generally, appointment slots are between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., depending on the track.
