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 Renault. 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 Renault

The Formula Renault car will let you experience sensations similar to those of a Formula 1 driver. Its 130cv 4-cylinder engine allows it to achieve performance levels comparable to the best GT cars. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h. It weighs 450 kg.

The Circuit: Abbeville (80)

Located a few kilometers from the Baie de Somme, this magnificent circuit was designed by Gilles Stievenart, a distinguished rally and ice rally driver. Since 2018, it has once again hosted the French Rallycross Championship. And for good reason: this 2,300-meter track offers every type of layout needed to fully enjoy a track driving experience, with straights, fast corners, hairpins, “pif-paf” sections, and more. Wide run-off areas along the track ensure optimal safety conditions. Safety is also a priority for spectators, who can enjoy a full view from the embankments surrounding the track.
Please note that it takes about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot at the site entrance to the reception area. It’s also advisable to bring an umbrella in case of rain, as there are few covered areas for spectators on the site.

Course Schedule (2.5 hours)

• A briefing will be held on-site before the session begins.
• At the scheduled time, you’ll need to complete a few formalities (presenting your driver’s license and printed voucher, signing a waiver, and paying a deposit). You’ll then board a minibus for a tour of 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.
