Experience duration

Depending on the number of people taking part in your driving session, and your particular driving package, the event will approximately last between 1 and 2 hours. Since you will be joined at the event by a number of other emocionday clients, you may have to wait a short period until it is your turn to drive.

Special conditions

The participant must satisfy the following conditions before taking part in the experience:

• for driving: hold a current and fully valid driving licence (Spanish, EU or International). For highway driving, the minimum age is 20, otherwise the minimum age is 18.
• for copiloting: no driving licence is required, however minors must have a minimum age of 12, a minimum height of 1.40m (4' 7"), and a parent or tutor must be present in order to authorise participation in the activity. As our Formula cars are single-seaters, it is not possible to enjoy them as a copilot.

• for our Formula driving experiencies, you must have a maximum weight of 120kg, and a maximum height of 1.90m.

Laps

For track driving, experiences consisting of one lap per car will not pass the finishing line. Experiences consisting of 2 laps per car will pass the finishing line once per vehicle, and so on with each successive lap.

No damage deposit payment is required, since any driving will be completed with a professional driver sat alongside as copilot, except in the case of the Formula driving, where the participant will follow an instructor driving a high-performance pace car.

It's important to bear in mind that the aim of this experience is not to race the vehicles, but to enjoy the unique characteristics of legendary sports cars in a safe driving environment.
