Driving an Authentic Vintage Formula Ford
In a single day, you’ll receive intensive training in a Formula Ford Crosslé. You’ll tame a lightweight single-seater weighing just 420 kg, powered by a 110 hp Ford engine and a 4-speed manual gearbox, capable of reaching speeds up to 260 km/h. The car delivers unmatched driving sensations while remaining accessible for both amateur and experienced drivers.
Charade Race Track
Home to the French Grand Prix in 1965, 1969, 1970, and 1972, this iconic 4 km-long race track is the only circuit in France located in the mountains of the Massif Central. Stirling Moss famously described it as the “most beautiful track in the world.”
Back in Time Experience
The entire environment dates back to the 1960s and 1970s. Racing overalls, helmets, and pit box equipment will transport you back in time, creating a truly authentic and unforgettable atmosphere.
