The facility will provide 20-minute and one-hour drop-in practice sessions alongside group bookings accommodating up to 24 participants. Participants must be aged 10 years or above and measure between 1.40m and 2.10m in height.
The venue is scheduled to launch on Saturday, 14th June, with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3pm.
Felix Baggott, Formula 3 driver and Full Send Racing Lounge founder, stated: “Motorsport shouldn’t feel like an exclusive club. Whether you’re pursuing lap times or simply enjoying time with mates, we’ve created this space so every guest departs with a memorable experience.”
The racing lounge will operate from 10am to 8pm Monday through Wednesday and Sundays, extending until 10pm Thursday through Saturday.
