Single Seater Experience Silverstone 2024

[@cameronblunt8061]

I’m doing this next weekend. Do you have any tips or advice based on your experience?

[@callumansellf1]

Enjoy it! Make sure you give the car plenty of throttle when you’re pulling away from stand still (like 4000 rpm) and ease off the clutch. For the two straights you want to be gradually putting on throttle as soon as you’ve hit the apex of the corner before the straight. Getting on the throttle as early as you can is important to spend some time in 4th gear (top gear) for any meaningful amount. Be firm when changing gear as well as the stick shift is super stiff so just be firm. Gradually build up your speed under safety car and get comfortable shifting down to 3rd at the end of the straight before the chicanes. Good luck!

@callumansellf1 wow you looked quicker than that haha

Ha thanks mate! I’ll give it another go

Mine was 1.20. Any suggestions how to be better around corners and what about gear downshifting?

[@callumansellf1]

@@hasnain4214 You need to be getting full throttle a lot earlier and you can play around with that. The gears were fairly simple as you just stayed in 3rd gear for the slower parts and briefly up to 4th for the straights. You also needed to straight line the chicanes as much as possible which means getting as close to the cones as you can. Take a look at my video and see how close I get.

How longs the safety briefing before you get into the cars just booked this can’t wait!

[@callumansellf1]

Probably about 10 or so minutes. Not that long. Enjoy mate.

Have they upgraded the cameras or did they let you put yours on?

[@callumansellf1]

@@ZER0Y0N They must have upgraded them because these were the standard cameras.

[@khaleedairil1975]

how much for the full price with the camera?

[@callumansellf1]

@@khaleedairil1975 off peak price is £199 (which I’d recommend anyway because you have less people on track) and with the camera is another £40. Anytime price is £299 + £40 for the camera.
