Head to Magny-Cours in France, the previous home of the French Grand Prix. Then take the wheel of a real F1 car with over 650HP and try to reach 300 km/h!

You'll get the chance to be an F1 driver for the day. A team of mechanics and engineers will set up the Formula One car for you to test it to the limit. You will have at your disposal Alan Prost, Benetton B198 and Williams FW21 F1 cars.

The experience includes an initiation and seat time with a Formula Renault single seater with comprehensive instruction. You'll have a progressive-based approach to learn the track and once fully prepared, you'll be handed the the F1 car to take on the track. Nothing will prepare you for the power and G-Force of this car, and it will undoubtedly be an experience you'll savor for the rest of your life.

Addional Information:

Includes 2 nights accommodation in a luxury hotel in France. For 1 person. 18 years of age or over.

The Cause

Arts for India has been established with a number of specific aims to support underprivileged young artists in India.

While several philanthropic organizations are working towards education for poor Indian children, most of them are focused on providing basic school level education.

Arts for India lifts disadvantaged young Indian teenagers out of poverty through education in Art, Fashion and Cinema at the college level. Beyond that, they support these students, enabling them to make their contribution to the world of Art, Fashion and Cinema at a global level.

Arts for India runs a 4-year Scholarship Programme, where the donor/sponsor gets the opportunity to sponsor one needy student artist at the International Institute of Fine Arts (IIFA), India. The sponsor is kept in constant touch with the adopted student and at the end of the four years, the student presents four of their works to the sponsor as a token of appreciation and gratitude. We want to play our part in equipping India’s deserving artists of the future.
