Your ARDS race instructor will finish the experience off with a high-speed white knuckle ride in the Alpine A110S.
It's a two-seat racing car that runs on slick racing tyres has an F1 style paddle-shift gearbox which is connected to a whopping 2.8 litre V6 naturally aspirated engine. It's a white knuckle ride you'll never forget. Under brakes you'll feel the car searching for grip then the tyres forcing the chassis in to the next corner at seemingly impossible speeds

Then full speed in the two-seat racing car. It's a proper open wheel racing car. Unleashed around the 2.4-mile circuit it's an amazing experience.
This is a white knuckle ride you'll remember for a long time to come!

Two-seat, slicks and wings racing car, purpose-built and designed to allow a passenger to experience a powerful open-wheel racing car, pushed to the limit, by a professional racing driver.
Winner of the Top Gear Magazine Hot Hatch award and you'll understand why the moment you get behind the wheel and head out on track. The ST is propelled by a brilliant 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 276bhp and 310lb ft of torque. Helping put that power down is a brilliant chassis, a limited-slip differential, adaptive damping and 19-inch wheels.
The Alpine A110S adds some subtle changes to the already brilliant A110. An extra 39bhp and taking power to 288bhp. The anti-roll bars are 100 per cent stiffer than the standard car, and the springs 50% firmer with the dampers re-tuned to match. The car sits 4mm lower and the tyres are wider. The result is an already brilliant car, turned up to 11!
