Formula GP experience!
Formula GP Experience aims to put you in a Formula 1 car
By Gary Becker
If you are reading this article then it is probably a good bet that you are a car person and have in some way thought about what is it really like to be in Formula 1 car at speed.
The folks at Formula GP Experience have come up with a way, if you have the cash, to turn those thoughts of speed into reality. Formula GP Experience is a joint venture between Conquest Racing of the American Le Mans Series fame and DXLus.com. The two companies have been working together for the past 4 years and have given 11,500 souls the opportunity to go fast in Europe and the Middle East.
Now operating in the United States, they have taken a couple 2003-2004 Jordan Formula1 chassis and added a couple of seats on either side of the driver's seat. The cars are powered by Judd V10 motors that are pushing out 750 horsepower and can take you from 1 to 60mph in about 1.8 seconds.
Depending on how heavy your wallet is you can either ride around in one of the side seats for a single lap for $499 or the deluxe package for $999.
The Discovery Lap Package is just that. You get a one lap ride in a Formula 1 car at speed. The Formula GP Package gives you some laps in a go kart, 2 or 3 laps in the real car and pictures with a Pirelli girl I'm sure your wife let you hang on the living room wall. The GP package takes about 5 hours.
The Formula GP Experience begins the end of September a the Monticello Motor Club, moves to West Palm Beach, Phoenix and Las Vegas in October and in November ends up in Austin.
