If you’ve ever wanted to find out what it’s like to experience a world-class, purpose built circuit then the Radical U-Drive is for you. Wind in your face, the sound of the engine speeding across the track and the feel of each curve you take, this is the ultimate in self-drive experiences – like driving in your own Le Mans! The Radical SR3 is a lot like the Le Mans vehicles seen in endurance races and is hugely popular within the racing community. Featuring aerodynamic bodywork for increased downforce, reduced drag and racing slick tyres for ultimate cornering speed. Listen to the sound generated by this highly tuned four-cylinder racing engine as it accelerates down Pisa straight – it’s mind-blowing! Our cars are also fitted with a 6 speed paddle shift gearbox to complete the ultimate race car feel. You have 7 laps to experience the thrill of a real race car environment – guided by your very own professional race driver from start to finish. Hands down an awesome technical race experience that you’ll never forget – we put you in the driver’s seat so you can get a taste of what it is like to be Formula One driver.

Best part was just driving the radical u-drive race car. We also enjoyed the museum. It was informative but was also fun with all the interactive things you could do. Everyone was so friendly as well.
