The exact experience varies by the location chosen:

Three Sisters – 7 miles in a Ferrari 360 followed by 3 miles in a hot hatch and conclude with 10 miles in a single-seater racing car (23 miles in total).

Rockingham – Ferrari 360 for 6 miles on the track and then a single-seater for another 20mins.

A high-speed passenger ride concludes your experience at some venues.
