Hire A Famous Racing Driver
World champions, Le Mans winners and grand prix names, for track days, hospitality, speaking engagements and brand campaigns. We handle diaries shaped by race weekends so your date is protected.
Hire a Famous Racing Driver
A Formula 1 driver at your event brings speed, glamour and a global fan base into the room. We arrange F1 drivers past and present, world champions, Le Mans winners, MotoGP riders and the commentators your guests know from race weekends for corporate events, track days, hospitality at the Grands Prix, after-dinner speaking and brand campaigns across the United Kingdom and Europe, discreetly and through one point of contact.
In plain terms: hiring an F1 or famous racing driver starts from £20,000, and a name is usually confirmed within two to three weeks of your first call. Current grid drivers and world champions sit above that range. This is the tier that has stood on a Grand Prix podium, not an instructor with a fast car.
Racing Drivers for Hire: Every Format
- Track day host: a famous driver at Silverstone or another circuit, coaching your guests, riding alongside and taking them out for hot laps
- Personal appearance: a racing legend joining your dinner, launch or party to meet guests and pose for photographs
- After-dinner speaker: the pressure of a title decider, the rivalries and a question session for dinners and awards nights
- Grand Prix hospitality: a driver joining your guests at a race weekend, explaining the strategy as it unfolds
- Brand ambassador: a motorsport name fronting a launch, a campaign or a season-long partnership
Whether you want a racing driver for a single evening or as the centre of a whole track day, we arrange the right name for the guests and the occasion. Corporate briefs run through our corporate celebrity experiences service, and hospitality formats are covered in our guide to celebrity corporate hospitality.
What It Costs to Hire a Racing Driver
Fees follow the driver’s profile, the format and the time spent with your guests. A respected former Grand Prix driver hosting a track day sits at the lower end of the range; a world champion or a current grid driver sits well above it. Circuit hire, cars, travel, accommodation and any filming or usage rights are set out separately and in writing before you commit. Our celebrity hire price guide shows where every category falls, and our cost to hire a professional racing driver guide goes into the detail for motorsport.
How to Book a Racing Driver Through Us

- Receive a shortlist: names who are genuinely available for your date, with a note on what each would bring
- We make the introduction: the fee negotiation and the contract are handled for you
- Brief the day: a planning call so the track day, the talk or the appearance is built around your guests
- We manage the day: timings, travel, security and the running order, with one point of contact throughout
Matching the Driver to the Occasion
A track day for a dozen clients wants a driver who loves to coach and will ride alongside every one of them; a conference wants the storyteller who can turn a title fight into a lesson on pressure; a launch wants the name with the broadest recognition. Availability moves with the racing calendar, so we ask about the guests, the tone and the date before we suggest anyone. Our most requested racing drivers guide gives a sense of who clients ask for, and our how to book a famous racing driver guide walks through the process step by step.

Hire a Racing Driver for Your Event: Common Questions
How much does it cost to hire an F1 driver?
Famous racing drivers arranged through us start from £20,000. Personal appearances, track days and hospitality weekends start from £20,000, and world champions and current grid drivers command more. The fee moves with the driver’s profile, the format, the location and whether any filming or usage is attached. Every quote is prepared individually and set out in full before you commit; our celebrity hire price guide covers the ranges in more detail.
How do I hire a racing driver for an event?
Tell us the date, the venue or circuit, the audience and what you want the driver to do. We come back with a shortlist of drivers who are genuinely available, make the introduction and negotiate the fee on your behalf, then manage the brief, the contract and the day itself. You are under no obligation at the shortlist stage.
Which racing drivers can I book?
We arrange Formula 1 drivers past and present, world champions, Le Mans and endurance winners, MotoGP riders, and the commentators and pundits your guests know from race weekends. Because every experience is arranged privately we do not publish names; once we understand the occasion we make specific recommendations.
Can I do a track day with a famous racing driver?
Yes. A day at Silverstone or another circuit with a Grand Prix driver coaching your guests and taking them out for hot laps is one of the most requested experiences we arrange, for clients, teams and a motorsport-mad guest of honour.
Can I hire a MotoGP rider?
Yes. MotoGP and World Superbike riders are arranged in the same way as car racers, for track days, appearances and hospitality at a race weekend.
Can a racing driver speak at a corporate event?
Yes. The pressure of a title decider, the teamwork behind a pit stop and a hosted question session work well at conferences, awards nights and corporate dinners, and we brief the speaker on your audience beforehand.
Can I book a current F1 driver?
Current grid drivers are possible outside the race calendar, and their team and sponsor commitments always come first, so retired drivers and world champions give far more choice.
How far in advance should I book?
Three to six months gives the widest choice, and dates around the British Grand Prix and the end of the season are settled early. A name is usually confirmed within two to three weeks of your first call once the brief is agreed.
Do you arrange Grand Prix hospitality?
Yes. A driver joining your guests at a race weekend, explaining the strategy as it unfolds, is covered in our guide to celebrity corporate hospitality.
Will the booking stay private?
Yes. Discretion is standard, non disclosure agreements are arranged wherever they are wanted, and nothing is published or promoted without your permission.
