Jaguar won Le Mans seven times – more than any other British marque – so it is  itting that it should provide the power for our one-of-a-kind two seat racer, which will bring you closer to the feel of a true Le Mans prototype than you ever thought  ossible. Another brainchild of Jonathan Palmer, the JP1 is seriously quick. Ferrari beating quick – even a 430 would not stay with it on our fabulous sweeping West circuit.

With slick tyres and bodywork designed to provide huge grip-enhancing downforce, and a 3-litre, V6 Jaguar motor roaring its approval in a car just half the weight of a Jaguar XF, the JP1’s performance is phenomenal. It will corner and brake at twice the G force of a road car on the limit, subjecting your body to forces you are unlikely ever to have experienced other than fleetingly on some of the more savage fairground rides. This time, the difference is you’re the one in control. But being pushed beyond belief by your amazing instructor alongside!
