I've just been watching a few clips on youtube on 'Wildeside F1' and 'AGS F1' days, and to be honest they are crappy rev limited cars that sound nothing like F1.
I'm sure they're extremely quick, but you're not experiencing 'F1' as the F1 drivers do are you? And that's what these companies are pitching them as.

Does anyone know of another company that does offer a drive in a full fat 19/19k rev V10 F1 car?
I know there are going to be replies saying these cars will perform past your driving skill level/bottle can manage, and duly noted.

I think the nearest you could get was a place in Spain doing 3 year old cars IIRC.

Drive an old V10 Prost/Bennetton/Jaguar or Williams at Magny Cours? From £3000 per person.

Those AGS cars aren't F1 cars - sheep in wolfs clothing.
Lotus were running some good days out in Hungary a few years back - but the IRace doesn't look like the same level of cars they used to run

The prost car is a prost shell, but Cosworth V8 limited to 14k revs and the chassis to suit. So no good....

Looks like the AGS days use actual F1 cars to me?

Not recent by any stretch - but enough IMHO!

AGS have a mixture of old F1 chassis and some cars they built themselves (AGS SH03) which are (according to them) supposed to be a representation of a modern F1 car.

There's options to drive V10 powered cars also.

Three Sisters is an outdoor kart track local to me. No chance of getting a Formula 1 car up to speed.

Had a quick google but couldn't find details of the Rockingham one.
