Description
Ever wanted to drive a race car? Well now's your chance! At Highlands you can fulfill this dream with the ultimate self-drive experience - the manual Radical U-Drive (a Le Mans style race car). Undergo a pre-experience safety briefing with your accompanying pro-driver before being kitted out in race boots, race suit and helmet. You will be strapped into the drivers seat by your pro-driver before they climb in the passenger seat next to you, then it's off to Circuit C (1.5KM) for some practice. Here you will complete a couple of warm laps to learn about the race lines and corners before taking on 5 laps of the circuit at speed whilst you receive feedback and guidance from your pro-driver.
The Radical SR3 is a racing car similar to the Le Mans vehicles seen in endurance races. The Radical SR3 exhibits impressive aerodynamic bodywork for maximum downforce, reduced drag and racing slick tyres to deliver on corner speed. The Radical SR3 is fitted with a 6 speed "paddle shift" gearboxes to complement the ultimate race car experience. Relish in the impressive sound created by this highly tuned four-cylinder racing engine as you step on the gas - simply mind-blowing!
