Motor Racing:

Race a High-End Car on one of the UK’s leading Motor Racing Circuits

Motorsport hospitality: Race a high-performance car on the UK’s most iconic circuits.

You don’t know the meaning of the word ‘adrenaline’ until you’ve strapped into the cockpit of a high-performance race car, flipped down your visor, watched the lights change and felt the roar of horsepower as you explode off the line. For clients and friends with a need for speed, Gala’s motor racing hospitality is the ultimate treat, putting you in command of three dream machines at the UK’s most famous circuits – and even arranging a personal visit from the motorsport legend of your choice.

Motor racing hospitality just went up a gear

There are other track days – but only Gala’s motorsport hospitality puts you behind the wheel of three fantasy vehicles at your favourite UK race circuit. Your day begins as your party arrives at a classic location like Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Donington Park or Rockingham (more venues available on enquiry). Then pinch yourself as you’re handed the keys to a Ferrari V8 F430, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and BMW M2 – each one gleaming, purring and ready to pull out onto the UK’s most famous circuits.

But your day of motor racing hospitality doesn’t end when we wave the chequered flag. Take a little time to explore your chosen race track with a behind-the-scenes tour that includes the changing rooms, media centres and winner’s podium. Then settle back for a delicious gourmet meal, where you’ll be joined for a revealing Q&A and photo opportunity with your favourite motor racing star or media personality. 

These are just some of the motorsport legends available for our 2024 celebrity experiences (simply ask the Gala team if you don’t see your favourite name below).
