Tour #1: The Ultimate F1 Tour, 2010

Have you ever watched ‘Top Gear’ and thought how good would it be to cruise the Autobahns of Germany in a supercar, or experience the world’s best driving roads in France or Switzerland? Or is your dream to drive a genuine ‘proper’ F1 car, on one of the best race circuits in the world? I’m sure most of you have, but very few people in the world actually ever have.

This is your chance. Seven days and six nights driving the most amazing Super cars over 2500kms from London to the South of France and back– our destination is the private circuit ‘du Var’, located in the South of France.

Once there, we will have the distinct pleasure of driving one of the world’s best and most contemporary collections of F1 cars available for hire, specs which include:

3 Litre, 72 degree V10 power, 4 valves per cylinder, 750 HP, 6 speed semi-automatic gear box / paddle shift, TAG electronic data management system and Carbon brakes

Tour #2: The Ultimate Nurburgring Tour

The Nurburgring Nordschleife. It is, quite simply the Ultimate circuit for anyone who dreams of driving a car fast. Many have tried, but few have conquered it. Sir Jackie Stewart called it “The Green Hell”, with 23kms and 73 high-speed corners winding its way through the Eifel Mountains. It challenges and excites, rewards the brave and punishes those who do not show it respect.

In 2010, we are pleased to announce THE 3^rd ANNUAL ULTIMATE NURBURGRING TOUR.

The Tour itinerary:

Thurs  evening - Flights arrive into Frankfurt Airport
