F1 Belgium Grand Prix at Spa   |   31st – 2nd September 2012

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps was created in 1921 using public roads twisting and turning through the Ardennes hills, producing a majestic 13 km road course. The track was redeveloped in 1983 and, although the new circuit is only half its original length, it retains much of its previous character and charm.

Flights are available to this beautiful circuit – please call for details.

 

F1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza   |   7th – 9th September 2012

The first Formula 1 was held here in 1950 and has continued to do so ever since. Helicopters are permitted to land in the centre of the circuit – call our Operations Department for more information.

 

Goodwood Revival   |   14th – 16th September 2012

For three days in September, the circuit stages a historic race meeting for the kind of cars and motorcycles that would have competed at Goodwood during 1948-1966. This means that most visitor’s wear appropriate period clothing and no modern vehicles are allowed within the circuit perimeter throughout the weekend.

There are also theatrical sets that bring the past back to life and a celebration of the aviation heritage with some stunning aerial manoeuvres throughout the skies above this WWII former aerodrome. Arrive in VIP style at this glamorous event in your own stunning aerial manoeuvre by flying in an Air Harrods helicopter.

Flight time from London is 25 minutes.

 

Wales Rally   |   TBA

Britain’s World Rally Championship counter has been a qualifying round of the series every year since the WRC was established in 1973.

Its origins date back to 1932 and, for many years, it was known as the RAC Rally. While the event used to roam around England, Scotland and Wales, making it a test of endurance rather than a demonstration of all-out speed, since 2000 the action has been contained in south Wales prior to the inclusion of stages further north into mid-Wales in 2008.

However it’s the gravel-based forest stages that Wales Rally GB is most famous for. Fast and undulating, the roads are often made slippery by rainfall and there’s even a chance of snow and ice. Flights can be arranged to land at nominated stages.

Flight time from London is approximately 1 hour. Please call our Operations Team for more information.
