The three wheeled vehicles have been Italian style icons since 1949 and for this experience, they've been upgraded to racing spec with added stabilisers. After an introduction and instruction on how to drive the Ape, split into teams of three and have 15 minutes of practise laps to decide qualifying positions. Then it's time to race! With a proper Le Mans start, race across the track, jump in the right Ape, get the engine started and off you go! During the 90 minute race, decide on a driving strategy with pit stops to switch drivers. Race on a 1 kilometre outdoor circuit and the top three teams are rewarded with a trophy.
