Le Mans is much more than the greatest endurance race in the world. It has its own ambience and atmosphere and an electricity and excitement that you can almost touch. The bars and cafes in the village run throughout the night and the champagne bar has an inexhaustible supply of bubbly and every bottle nicely chilled!

But to really make the most of your Le Mans join the Wildside Tour. Now in it’s 27th year we will get you right to the heart of the action and take care of everything.  And we do mean everything. From return ferry crossings, backroad routes with a roadbook for every car that takes in great roads avoiding all the traffic; pre-race hotel with indoor pool, your own pre-erected tent at our trackside HQ with parking for your car, all the ice cold beers, wine, soft drinks plus freshly cooked breakfasts, lunches and dinner all included and at no extra cost. Oh and we also have own exclusive coach to take you around the circuit at night so you can  really appreciate the skills of the drivers who still have over 1000 miles to go until the finish! The Wildside Base is open for the 24 hours with a ready supply of beers and drinks plus snacks and hot and freshly cooked food on tap.

Departing Dover early on Friday morning the driving route heads through the countryside and into the Suisse-Normande region arriving at our hotel in a small spa town north west of Le Mans. A splendid dinner with wine gets the weekend off to a great start and perhaps a visit to the Casino and night club is in order. Le Mans is just 45 minutes away so after you park your car up at the Base HQ, move into your pre-erected tent and have a beer and some brunch head out to the start of the race. In the evening there will be a freshly cooked dinner and party night before our night coach takes you around the track with stop-offs at Arnage and Mulsanne. Breakfast with a choice of continental or British is on the go from early in the morning. The mid-afternoon race finish will leave you plenty of time to catch the evening return ferry but if you want to stay over for another night we can arrange hotel accommodation. Let Wildside take all the hassle out of your Le Mans weekend. For full information pack, please contact us here

Imagine the scene:  A pit garage at a Grand Prix circuit in Europe. The engine is fired up and that distinctive and glorious roar of an F1 race car warming up sets the pulse racing.  You are fitted into the cockpit, harness tightened and then waved onto the circuit – the track is all yours.  You are in control. Flick the paddles and the awesome acceleration leaves you breathless. Into the first corner and scrub off speed – your first taste of carbon brakes is unbelievable. Accelerating through the long curves the car sticks to the road then up through the gears onto the straight before braking hard again ….. It’s hard to believe that you really are driving an F1 car on a real grand Prix circuit. Unforgettable. 

26 YEARS OF F1 EXPERIENCE

Wildside provide more F1 driving programmes than anyone. We have been organising F1 courses since the 1990s. That means experience and knowledge that is unmatched plus we have driven the cars and the circuits. We appreciate that driving an F1 is a very special, once-in-a-lifetime event and we will ensure that this really will be an unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime. Speak to someone who has actually done it – we are delighted to help and are just a phone call or email away if you have any questions.

‘CRUSHING POWER’

But don’t just take our word for it read what the best-selling author and Wildside customer Iain Banks said in Car magazine: “The F1 cars are still the genuine article – rather more than 700bhp in a body weighing less than 600kg. No rev limiter, no following a pace car and no F3 engine in a F1 body. The power is crushing, awesome, frightening, dazzling. The car reacts to every input like it’s responding to intentions, not actions. I’ve driven more intensely than I’ve ever driven in my life. I felt, and feel, incredibly privileged. So, is it worth it? Worth re-mortgaging the house.” Read the full story here  about his F1 baptism experience. He puts into words, far better than we can, the sheer, mind numbing excitement.

GENUINE F1 CARS

All the F1 cars are genuine and have raced and scored points in the World Championship and are maintained by a team of ex-F1 mechanics.  Remember there is no catch – all you need is an ordinary driving license and be at least 25 years old and that’s it. You can then be rolling out of the pits onto a Grand Prix circuit in a full-house F1 with no rev limits and no speed limits. 

CHOICE OF GRAND PRIX CIRCUITS

Only available in Europe, Wildside’s  ‘F1 Driver for the Day’ programme offers the choice of the Grand Prix circuits of Magny Cours in France and the Grand Prix circuit at Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain plus the home of the Portuguese Grand Prix – Portimao.

WHAT TO EXPECT 

Whichever circuit you choose the driving course takes place on a single day – and what a day it is. Driving a Formula One is a real privilege and we want you to get the maximum out of this unique experience. You won’t arrive at the track to find a crowd of other participants. A maximum of just 18 other drivers per day ensures you get the personalised attention you expect. There is a truly refreshing approach from the instructors who are genuinely keen for you to really experience the incredible power and g-forces generated by these cars. This is a world apart from the usual track school ‘sausage factory’ approach of rev limits, following a course car and over-bearing instructors.

At the circuit you will be kitted out in F.I.A. approved Nomex race suits, race boots, gloves and helmet – all personally selected for you.  Before being let loose in the F1 you will take to the track in morning sessions driving a single seater, paddle shift 230 km/h Formula Renault 2.0. 

                                                                           Benetton B198                                                                                                        

THE F1 EXPERIENCE 

In the afternoon ‘your’ F1 awaits. The pit lane features a squadron of Formula One cars from Benetton, Jaguar, Prost and Williams including the 2.4 litre V8 2011 Williams FW33. The cars are all equipped with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift, carbon brakes and up to 700 BHP that generates speed you can only dream of. And you are also able to select either V10 or V8 engines. Of course, the power is only half the story, get the carbon brakes up to temperature and your perception of ‘performance’ will be altered forever.

                                                                                                 Jaguar R2

 “I’ve driven more intensely than I’ve ever driven in my life. I felt, and feel, incredibly privileged. So, is it worth it? You can taste a little of that fabulously rarefied world. You can, maybe, peek into the souls of people taking part in one of the most extreme events on the planet, and know you’ve shared more than dreams with them…..”

The whole experience is beyond description. It is the very stuff that dreams are made of……………..

From Jamaica to Bombay; Greenland to The Congo…The world truly is your oyster (well almost) and all without actually leaving London. Forget Phileas Fogg and his 80 days – You can get around the world in just 8 hours in this full-on, full day version where you become the famous Phileas. Speed your way around the London streets, outwitting the other teams, gambling on your route and all the time chasing the clock…

You will need plenty of cunning, clever tactics and team skills to come up with a crafty scheme that will get you round London in record time to outdo the competition.  The more places you manage to visit; the more ‘Phileas pounds’ you earn.

Time is always running out so combining the talents of your team you will need to be prepared to change your tactics, alter your ideas and devise a new plan. There are decisions to be made and the clock is always ticking. Make the wrong choice and your team could be at the back of the field; make the right choice and you could be a hero.

Devilishly tricky challenges will be posed throughout the day.  Complete the tasks when heading through ‘Passport Control’ and you will boost your chances, but you always risk heavy losses and Travel Fines if you fall behind.

The team that accumulates the most ‘Phileas pounds’ will win – it’s that simple.

The action kicks off with a kart racing GP at a superb newly built indoor circuit on the edge of the capital city. The karts are fast, the track is challenging and the competition is intense. The adventure continues in Glacier country where you will get the chance to   drive a Super Jeep.  These are specially equipped 4×4 vehicles that have been fitted with 44 inch extra large and wide Glacier tyres. These make it possible for the Jeeps to travel in heavy snow and to reach parts of the glaciers that ordinary 4x4s couldn’t hope to achieve. The vehicles are also fitted with GPS navigational gear so they can be driven all over the interior of the country in zero visibility.

The Jeeps are serious fun but Snowmobiling is even better and the fact that you will have a full day on these awesome machines on the Icelandic Glaciers makes it perfect! These 600 cc machines are capable of over 80 mph – incredible enough but you are doing it on ice and snow. If you have never driven one of these machines before you will be amazed with the acceleration but remember braking on ice can be interesting!

But for sheer excitement add on an incredible passenger ride in a 1000bhp drag racing 4×4 which charges up the side of a quarry for a white knuckle experience.

Of course we include a visit to the fascinating Blue Lagoon outdoor Spa and all transfers will be included along with a stylish, contemporary 4 star city centre hotel.

A remarkable trip. For full details please contact us
