3 01 CIRCUITO ASCARI OPTIONAL ADD-ON T R A C K E X P E R I E N C E OPTIONAL ADD-ON THURSDAY 05 & FRIDAY 06 JULY Arrive into Malaga. Following transfers from the airport, you will arrive into Ronda. Here you can spend the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the resort s extensive wellness facilities, or exploring this stunning historic town in sunny southern Spain. Your accommodation for both evenings of the experience will be the luxurious Catalonia Reina Victoria Wellness Retreat and Spa, a stunning hotel overlooks the spectacular Tajo Gorge. After a day of relaxation or exploration we will meet in the evening for the first of many gourmet dining experiences. This evening s welcome aperitif and dinner will provide an opportunity to get to know the other guests on the event over celebrated local cuisine. On Friday morning we will depart for Ascari. Circuito Ascari is an ultra-exclusive private racing circuit located just outside the picturesque village of Ronda. Completed in 2003, Ascari is composed of replicas of the most iconic racetrack corners across the globe, featuring hints of Laguna Seca, Imola, and even Mt. Panorama. Here you will spend the following day driving a diverse range of cars around the circuit, including vehicles from Renault, Porsche, Nissan, Lotus and even Radical.

4 02 NURBURGRING T R A C K E X P E R I E N C E SATURDAY 07 & SUNDAY 08 JULY Your ultimate track experience continues with the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife. On Saturday, following a leisurely breakfast, the group will be transferred from our residence in Ronda, to Malaga for onward flights to Frankfurt. From here we will head across to Nurburg, check in to our hotel, then spend the afternoon in a Karting Grand Prix at the Schumacher family s karting centre. The next morning the group will be transferred to Nurburg. Originally constructed in 1925, the Nurburgring is one of the most respected and revered circuit in modern motorsport. The 20.8km track features a myriad of tight switchbacks, exhilarating straights and long sweeping bends - a true feast for any motoring enthusiast.

5 The track also features a selection of totally unique racing corners not found anywhere else on Earth - including the famous Karussell, a 270-degree tight banked curve that replicates G-forces more commonly felt by fighter pilots than racing drivers. Today you will spend the day behind the wheel of your chosen vehicle. After a thorough briefing, you will be introduced to the car you have selected to pilot. Over the course of day, you ll cover approximately 216kms (10 laps) in your chosen vehicle, channeling the likes of Sir Jackie Stewart, who nicknamed the circuit the Green Hell. Possible vehicle selections include offerings from Volkswagen, BMW, Renault and Porsche. Our vehicles and instructors cater to all driving abilities, from the keen novice to seasoned racers. In addition to your dose of adrenalin, today the Ring plays host to the Sport 1 Trackday event - a thrilling display of motoring and racing prowess including acceleration races, drift competitions and FMX shows. In between or after your laps, you have the opportunity to explore the event and enjoy the experiences on display. In the evening you will dine at the renowned Restaurant Pistenklaus, owned by the famous Schmitz family. Explore decades and eras of F1 memorabilia over their renowned hot stone steak. Perhaps you ll even bump into Sabine Schmitz, who has also recently taken up hos ng du es on Top Gear, and is nicknamed the Queen of the Ring after covering over 50,000 trips around the circuit. Following your adrenalin-filled two days, wind down back at Tiergarten and prepare for luxury transfers to the next circuit - Spa Francorchamps in neighbouring Belgium.

6 03 SPA FRANCORCHAMPS P R I V A T E T R A C K E X P E R I E N C E MONDAY 09 & TUESDAY 10 JULY Today you will be transferred from the Ring in Germany to Spa Francorchamps, a short hop across the border in Belgium. Here you will spend the day at one of the most famous circuits in Formula 1 - Circuit de Spa Francorchamps, enjoying a private track experience. This circuit is held in high regard by many former and current F1 champions, including Lewis Hamilton who calls Spa his favourite place on Earth. Take a rare opportunity to blast through Eau Rouge, one of the most heralded circuit corners in all of motorsport, renowned for its uphill twisting G-forces more akin to a rollercoaster than a racetrack. As with the Nurburgring experience, professional racing instructors will be on hand to guide you through the intricacies of both the circuit and the vehicles you will be piloting. Following a final day on the track, spend the evening at the stunning historic Manoir de Lebioles, enjoying a final dinner with the group and chatting about the week s track exploits. The following morning the group will return to Frankfurt for onward travel plans. MANOIR DE LEBIOLES ( 5-STAR ), double and twin rooms available RESTAURANT DE LEBIOLES 16/20 Gault & Millau rating
