Corporate events on a race circuit: seminars, team building and incentives at Charade

Bringing your teams together, thanking your clients or celebrating a milestone: at the Circuit de Charade, ten minutes from Clermont-Ferrand, Classic Racing School designs turnkey corporate events on a race circuit. Seminar, team building, incentive or client day, here are all our packages, options and services for an event nobody will forget.

Why hold your corporate event on a race circuit?

The best relationships grow from shared emotions. Behind the wheel of a 1960s single-seater, adrenaline breaks down hierarchies and conviviality does the rest. Your staff see each other differently, your clients live a rare moment, your partners still talk about it years later.

Unlike a standard seminar or a karting session, a day in a historic single-seater creates a real shared memory: the briefing, the race suit, the first lap, the pride of the last one. What you take home is not just another souvenir, it is a closer team and more loyal clients.

A timeless venue: the Circuit de Charade and our sixties lounge

A former Formula 1 circuit in the UNESCO-listed Auvergne volcanoes park, Charade is a unique setting for a corporate event in France. By the pit lane, our 100% sixties lounge can be privatised for your meetings, meals and evenings, set up to fit your programme.

• Up to 48 people for a full day
• Up to 24 people for a half-day
• More than 20 private events every year
• 10 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand, 2 hours from Lyon

Our corporate packages

Half-day: from 880€ excl. VAT per person

3 driving sessions in a historic single-seater, with breakfast or a lunch aperitif in the pit lane. The ideal format for an effective team building session or a highlight alongside a meeting.

Full day: from 1300€ excl. VAT per person

Breakfast, 6 driving sessions, lunch in the pit lane and an end-of-day aperitif. Total immersion for an incentive or a premium client day.

Bespoke package: on request

Mix driving, meetings and other activities, over a half-day, a full day or a complete stay. We build the programme with you, around your goals and your schedule.

Seminar, incentive, client day: the right format for every goal

Leadership seminar and strategy meeting

Gather your executive team in our lounge, then move from the meeting room to the track. A setting that opens up discussion and leaves a lasting impression.

Team building

Group briefing, coached sessions, shared debrief: driving becomes a powerful team-building tool. Everyone progresses at their own pace, everyone shares the same adventure.

Client loyalty and corporate gifts

To thank a key client or support a deal, offer an experience they will not find anywhere else. Far more than a business lunch: a privileged moment that strengthens the relationship.

Afterwork and company parties

The sixties lounge also hosts your afterworks and evening events, in a 1960s paddock atmosphere facing the track.

And in winter? An ice driving event at Flaine
