Old formula Ford race car experience

Coaching Experience: Chris Amon

In 1972, Chris Amon set what is still today the lap record of the Charade circuit, at 167kph – set in what was to be the last time Formula 1 visited the Charade circuit. The Chris Amon old formula Ford race car experience is our most intense and complete 1-day driving experience we offer at Classic Racing School.

With more than two and a half hours of track driving, your technique will progress and improve throughout the day thanks to performance-oriented coaching techniques, specific to this 1-day driving program. You will have a coach dedicated specifically to you and another driver throughout the day, with more intricate and detailed coaching time in between driving sessions thanks to timed lap sessions and onboard video analysis, all whilst teaching you performance driving techniques that will help you take your driving to the next level.

The old formula Ford race car experience is open to every driving level.
