What to do in San Sebastian
F1 Racing on your own at Ascari Race Resort
Along time ago I remembering having gone to the Detroit Gran Prix with my dad and family friends despite not being a huge fan of Formula One Racing. Its one of those things that we always had on the TV playing in the background on Sundays but I did not pay too much attention to it. It is one of those sports that to really enjoy it you must be present, experience it live. I remember walking toward the stands and hearing the high pitched buzz of the F1’s warming up, I couldn’t help but get excited. And sitting in the stand feeling the rumble in my legs as they raced by, it was an exhilarating experience that has stayed with me all of these years. Since then I could never watch F1 on TV as it just couldn’t live up to the real thing.
This past fall I got to organize over the top experiences for a TV program called The Trip 2014 for the Travel Channel. I knew of this fantastic place down south near Ronda called Ascari Race Resort, where you can race your very own F3 & F3 on their private track. And if you do not have your own car, they will let you use one their academy cars. The producer was not initially than keen on the idea at first but I knew, once there, seeing all the cars, hearing them race by, that it would be one of the best experiences of the entire trip.
As it is a members club we were limited to what we could film but this clip will give you a good view of what it was like. If you have always wanted to race your own car on a professional track there is no better place than Ascari Race Resort.
