EDINBURGH HOVERCRAFTS RACING
Edinburgh hovercrafts racing is a very cool, fun, adrenaline pumping activity which is bit different from the norm, then you should seriously consider Hovercraft racing.
Get on your helmet and overalls and get ready to race our mini hovercraft’s around the track against the clock in search of glory and bragging rights.
Equally at home on land or water. Mini hovercraft’s have no brakes and actually float on the air which is loads of fun. Experience the thrill of actually hovering above the ground on a cushion of air, and test your skills as you man-oeuvre the hovercraft around our circuit.
These fantastic Edinburgh hovercrafts can be handled by anyone aged 16 years or over. Full safety equipment and tuition are provided as standard.
We operate two single-seat hovercraft with everyone enjoying 10 minutes practice time flying up and down a large grass field. After you have got to grips with the hovercraft controls, you are then timed over six laps, weaving in and out of cones, with a five second penalty for each cone hit. The hovercraft handles very differently from a standard vehicle, having no brakes and requiring the operator to lean into the turn. They are great fun and very competitive when it comes to the timed sessions.
ED STAG TIP OF THE DAY
You are on your knees for the whole time so if you have a dodgy knee or an old footie injury, you might want to swerve this and arrange a game of dominos instead.
