Smaller Event Groups:
For smaller groups there is also a range of options. For 15 people you can compete as a team against others (shared non exclusive experience). Taking on all the aspects of the Champions Challenge. Or you could simply have a sprint challenge where each of you race against each other in a time sprint. Going first through qualifiers to get your track grid position and then the race itself.
For any non drivers in your groups you can also challenge them through the 8 simulators for a virtual experience.
Other Event Opportunities:
Brand Activation - There are endless branding opportunities for your event, from lighting colour of the track and venue to the race suits. With so much technology and screens in play, you can get creative and have these showcase branding, products or something completely different across your event.
Conferencing - The VIP Paddock Club offers the opportunity for small conferencing, forums or kick off meetings. Or you could use this area simply as a break out area or private lunch for your group. Why not combine both business and team building aspects by taking the Paddock room for your conference and then take to the track for your team building activity after?
Reception Events - The venue can be hired exclusively for a reception event. You can incorproate a driving experience inti this, or simply have a really cool venue, great F&B and a DJ to network and host a QBR based event.
For those into F1 and not able to get out to the races. why not stage your event here across an F1 qualifying day (or actual race day?). You can enjoy all the atmosphere of the race while adding your own kart race into the mix?
Summary:
One thing to keep in mind when planning your event here. The track is not available to be used across June and July. It has been built into what was the underground car park. Across the close football season, the pitch drops into this space in order to host concert events.
But outside of this. In terms of facilities, tech, and immersive experiences it's right up there. Versatile to work for team building, incentives, brand activations and even mix that with your forum or conference event.
