The publication director of the Site is Laurent REDON.

The Site offers the Customer (hereinafter "the Customer") a matching service for the online purchase of driving experiences in Formula 1, Formula Renault, sports cars, and passenger hot laps (hereinafter the "Services").

2: APPLICATION AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE GTC

The purpose of these GTC is to define all the conditions under which the Company markets the Services as offered for sale on the Site to Customers.

They therefore apply to any order (hereinafter the "Order") for Services placed on the Site by the Customer.

The Customer acknowledges having read and accepted these GTC before placing their Order.

Validation of the Order therefore implies acceptance of these GTC. These are regularly updated; the applicable GTC are those in force on the Site on the date the Order is placed.

3: ORDERING SERVICES ON THE SITE

3-A: Ordering

The Customer selects the Service they wish to purchase and can access the summary of their Order at any time before confirming it.

The Customer proceeds to confirm their Order after entering their billing information, the preferred date to perform the Service (except in the case of a gift voucher allowing them to book the Service later), and finally their payment information. A clear and legible mention of payment will appear on the Order confirmation screen to ensure that the Customer explicitly acknowledges their obligation to pay for the Order.

The Company will send the Customer a confirmation email in the form of a purchase invoice, summarizing the elements of their Order and, where applicable, communicating the confirmed date for the performance of the Service. In the case of a gift voucher purchase, the Customer will simply receive an Order confirmation email with their gift voucher. The sending of this confirmation email formalizes the contractual commitment between the Company and the Customer.

3-B: Potential Damage

To cover damage caused to the car(s) by the trainee responsible for an incident, the latter must pay LRS FORMULA on the same day a security deposit check corresponding to a deductible of €10,000 incl. tax for the F1 Bronze and F1 Full Experience packages, €15,000 for the F1 Silver packages, €20,000 incl. tax for the F1 Gold driving experiences, or €5,000 incl. tax for the FR driving experiences.

If the damage amounts to less than this sum, LRS FORMULA will mail a check for the difference to the debtor.

Deductibles may be partially / fully waived (redeemed).

  • F1 Bronze driving: Deductible of €10,000. If an additional payment of €420 is made, the deductible is reduced to €5,000.

  • F1 Silver driving: Deductible of €15,000. If an additional payment of €520 is made, the deductible is reduced to €7,500.

  • F1 Gold driving: Deductible of €20,000. If an additional payment of €650 is made, the deductible is reduced to €10,000.

  • FR driving: Deductible of €5,000. If an additional payment of €220 is made, the deductible is reduced to €2,500.

3-C: Insurance

LRS FORMULA is insured through OPF COURTAGE, located at 262 rue DUGUESCLIN, 69003 LYON:

  1. Through a "professional multi-risk" contract taken out with the AXA IARD company under number 22301834404, notably covering its professional civil liability as a driving and pilot school on circuits or roads, a driving training school, and passenger rides on circuits.

  2. Through an Asphalt Track Trackday Organizer / Driving School RC contract taken out with AMSRE / AXA IARD under number 2025-01346 - 22243234104, notably including the following guarantees: RC circulation of "school" F1 vehicles.

  3. Through an "individual accident" contract taken out with the company Group Special Lines (GSL) under number ADP20256140, covering death benefits in the amount of €15,000 and total permanent disability in the amount of €30,000.

Consequently, the trainee waives any recourse against the company LRS FORMULA beyond the guarantees subscribed. Each trainee is required to sign a document limiting the liability of the company LRS FORMULA to the guarantees mentioned above for the "individual accident" section.

3-D: Products

The Customer cannot choose the specific car they will drive on the day of the service. Each program offers Formula 1 cars of different power outputs; these may be modified at any time depending on availability while meeting the same power criteria.

4: PRICES AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS FOR THE ORDER

Prices are mentioned on the Site in the descriptions of the Services, in euros and all taxes included.

The total amount is indicated in the Order summary before the Customer accepts these GTC, validates their Order, enters and validates their billing details, and proceeds with payment.

Orders for Services on the Site are payable in euros. Full payment must be made on the day of the Order by the Customer, exclusively by bank card (in the case of payment in multiple installments free of charge, the service must in any case be paid in full one month before the definitive date) or bank transfer, unless special payment conditions are expressly accepted by the Customer and the Company.

The Site uses the online payment security system of ATOS, a provider specialized in online payment security. This system guarantees the Customer total confidentiality of their banking information. The bank card transaction between the Customer and the secure system is therefore entirely encrypted and protected.

The Customer guarantees to the Company that they have the necessary authorizations to use the chosen payment method when placing the Order.

The Company reserves the right to suspend or cancel any execution and/or delivery of an Order, regardless of its nature and level of execution, in the event of non-payment or partial payment of any sum due by the Customer to the Company, in the event of a payment incident, or in the event of fraud or attempted fraud relating to the use of the site and the payment of an Order, or in the event of misappropriated or abusive use of a discount code.

5: DATE OF THE SERVICE

Following validation of the Order and the online booking of a date by the Customer, the Company will contact the Customer either by email or telephone to define the organization and execution terms of the Services and the confirmed date and location for the performance of the Service.

If the date chosen by the Customer when placing their Order is not available, the Company will communicate another possible date to the Customer by email. Failing acceptance by the Customer of this new proposed date within six days of the sending of the email by the Company, the Order will be automatically cancelled.

The Customer acknowledges that any Service ordered as a gift voucher has a validity expiration date as stipulated at the time of purchase. It is also expressly reminded that the closure of a circuit performing the ordered Service shall not call into question the expiration of the Service. The Customer is therefore invited to carefully check the opening dates of the circuit performing the Services when ordering a Service to offer to a third party.

Any Service date confirmed by the Customer is firm. However, the Company reserves the right to modify, postpone, or cancel the date of performance of the Service at any time up until the eve of the scheduled date depending on technical hazards and weather, variable circuit openings/closings, authorizations, or any event beyond the Company's reasonable control. In such a situation, the only compensation permitted is the possibility of postponing the confirmed Service to another date.

The refusal of a Service, delay, or absence of the Customer on the confirmed date or following an alternative date proposed by the Company, or the invocation of any reason whatsoever resulting in the compromise of the Service on the day and said date shall not give rise to any refund and will result in the loss of the total amount of the Order.

The Customer also undertakes to inform the Company of any change that may occur between the Order and the performance of the Services.

6: RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

In accordance with Article L.221-28 of the Consumer Code, the Customer acknowledges that the legal right of withdrawal does not apply from the confirmation of the date of the Service by the Company, as this is a leisure activity to be provided on a specific date and is exempt from the right of withdrawal.

In the case of a simple purchase of a gift voucher without a confirmed date for the Service, the Customer has a period of 14 clear days from the validation of their Order to exercise their right of withdrawal with the Company, without having to justify motives or pay penalties.

To exercise their right of withdrawal from the Order, the Customer must notify their decision to withdraw by means of an unambiguous statement, without justifying motives. The Customer may communicate their decision to withdraw to the Company by any means, in particular by sending it by mail to the Company at the following address: L R S FORMULA, TECHNOPOLE DU CIRCUIT 58470 MAGNY COURS, France, or via contact@lrs-formula.com.

In the event of notification to the Company by the Customer of their decision to withdraw, regardless of the means used, the Company will send them without delay an acknowledgment of receipt of the withdrawal on a durable medium (in particular by email).

In the event of the Customer's withdrawal, the refund of the Service that was the subject of the right of withdrawal is made by the Company using the same payment method as that used for the initial transaction, unless the Customer expressly agrees to a different method. The refund is processed as soon as possible, and at the latest within 14 days from the day the Company is informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw from their Order.

7: CUSTOMER SERVICE

For any request for information, clarification, or for any complaint, the Customer must first contact the Customer Service of the Company, in order to allow the latter to try to find a solution to the problem.

The Customer Service of the Company can be reached using the following contact details:

  • Telephone (non-surcharged): +33 (0)3 86 58 54 54

9: LIABILITY

The Company implements all measures appropriate to ensure the Customer is provided with quality Services under optimal conditions. However, its liability cannot be engaged under any circumstances for any damage attributable either to the Customer (particularly in the event of non-compliance with these GTC or instructions given by the Company), to the unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party extraneous to the contract, or to a case of force majeure.

It is recalled in this respect that the proposed Services are subject to constraints inherent to Formula 1 activities (weight constraints – technical constraints – regulatory constraints – organizational constraints – physical fitness constraints). Consequently, the day, the foreseeable time of the Service, and any variable and/or random criterion related to the practice are purely indicative, and the Company assumes no guarantee or liability regarding them.
