On Tuesday, February 6th, London launched its first official Formula 1 karting experience to the public. Situated beneath the iconic South Stand of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, this new F1 attraction is part of a 15-year strategic partnership between Formula 1 and Tottenham Hotspur.
Exclusive features of F1 DRIVE London include:
- Steering wheels featuring an 18cm LED display, providing data and updates to the driver such as lap times, live race position, intervals, boost level, track safety information and flag status
- A ‘DRS’ (Drag Reduction System) button on the steering wheel, allows greater speed when close to the competitor in front
- Immersive in-kart audio, complete with sound effects taken from onboard recordings of the cars of Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, commentary from David Croft and Naomi Schiff and live driving tips
Accredited by the National Karting Association, the attraction consists of three different track layouts inspired by the most iconic F1 circuits around the world. The tracks have been tailored for a diverse audience, from the ‘Future Stars’ track, set to ignite the passion of young drivers and inspire the next generation of F1 fans, and the ‘Sprint Track’ which ensures an engaging experience for racers of all abilities.
