Introduction:

U.S. Formula 1 Driving Experience

The U.S. Formula 1 driving programs were created around the following unique concept: “Open the doors to driving authentic F1 cars and share an incredible world of prestige and excitement with a select few clients who can truly appreciate the uniqueness of this driving experience.”

“The real thing!”

U.S. Formula offers authentic Formula 1 race cars, once used in the Formula 1 World Championship: the 1997 Arrows (driven by World Champion Damon Hill), the 1998 Benneton (driven by Giancarlo Fischella), and the 2001 Prost (driven by both Jean Alesi and Heinz Harald Frentzen). The Arrows and Benneton are equipped with a Ford Cosworth 3.5L V8, while the Prost sports a Peugeot 3.5L V10. Both engines put out about 700HP in cars that weights less than 1000 lbs! That's an insane amount of power! All cars are equipped with traction control, semi-automatic gearbox with steering wheel paddle shifters, carbon brakes, and more features only found in these multi-million dollar racecars!
