*Not a commercial*!!
Folks,
For what it's worth I can recommend taking yourself down to the South of France to have an "F1" driving experience with AGS in Le Luc, near Toulon.
I was just there and it was a blast.
See : http://www.agsformule1.com/en/drive-a-formula-1.php
In brief they run a day long course, starting with Opel Lotus single seaters for familiarisation, then you get into what's near enough a real F1 car for mere mortals.
Based on cars from about 6 years ago these have Cosworth DFV engines and they claim 650 bhp in 600kg, which ain't bad.
To put the acceleration in perspective, I was lucky enough to drive the current C4S tip recently, courtesy of the local OPC. That was fast, very fast.
I also drove a Ferrari Challenge Stradale around Knockhill for a while the other day too - no slouch either.
Leaving aside the fact I have yet to drive a Porsche Turbo, none of these cars remotely compares to the acceleration of the "F1" beast. I'm totally spoilt by the experience.
Highly recommended for petrolheads.!
