Do something adventurous
Want to splash the cash on something a bit more active? well, feast your eyes on this little lot because We’ve found just the thing..

Drive a F3 car
If you’ve ever fancied yourself as the new Sebastien Vettel then here’s the chance to show off your skills. Put yourself in the shoes of a professional racing driver, revving a 3000cc V6 engine. After spending roughly an hour with an instructor you’ll be let loose to tear around the Yas Marina Circuit for a solid 20-25 minutes. Not only that, but there are two on-board video cameras that will capture the action so you can re-live your greatest moments. Let’s face it, it’s probably the closest you’re going to get to experiencing the thrills and spills of a F1 racer. You must book your car two-three weeks in advance though and there are height (no smaller than 160cm and no taller than 188cm) and weight (no heavier than 105 kilos) restrictions.
