Formula One Tour Packages
Formula One racing travels across five continents and draws global television audiences in the hundreds of millions. It is the pinnacle of motor racing, attracting the best drivers, engineers and designers, with teams - many backed by multinational corporations - spending vast sums and employing the latest technology to gain a competitive edge often measured in thousandths of a second.
‘F1’ identifies a unique genre of motor racing which has a long and distinguished history. ‘Formula’ referred to the unique set of regulations governing the cars, while the ‘1’ denoted the championship’s status as the highest level of international motorsport recognised by the governing body, the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile). But ‘Formula 1’ and ‘F1’ quickly came to signify far more.
Its roots lie in pre-war Grand Prix racing, but it was in 1950 that the major races were brought together in the inaugural Formula One world championship. Featuring seven rounds - around 20 is today’s norm - the first championship encompassed events in Britain, Monaco, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Italy and the United States. It was global from the beginning. Over the next three decades Formula One racing grew from a gentlemen racers’ pastime into something far more professional such that by the 1970s it was rapidly evolving into the sporting spectacle we know today, with the F1 brand representing glamour, speed and technical excellence on a worldwide stage.
Evolution became revolution in the early ‘80s as former team owner Bernie Ecclestone led the championship’s commercial explosion, attracting bigger sponsors and bigger television audiences. With Bernie promoting the virtues of this unique brand of racing, professional teams were now backed by international companies, the top drivers became household names, and by the turn of the century Formula One racing’s popularity was such that it had become the most viewed brand of motorsport on the planet.
Today's teams, each responsible for designing and constructing their own car, contest the constructors’ championship, with each fielding two drivers who individually contest the drivers’ championship. And with the current crop of stars competing wheel to wheel, the world champion is unlikely to be crowned until the last event of the season. Only the world’s best drivers make it in to the championship - and only the very best win. Speed and race craft alone are not enough. A strong technical acumen, supreme fitness and a deep understanding of the car are essential - to keep 800 horsepower in check for up to two hours, at speeds of over 300 km/h and with cornering forces regularly in excess of 4g.
For us mere mortals, watching the excitement unfold is a thrill in itself. And it’s a thrill that is being ever enhanced by technological and commercial developments, many of which are championed by Ecclestone’s Formula One Management Limited (FOM) who passionately maintain the exclusivity of the F1 brand by carefully selecting the companies and initiatives associated with it. Multi-channel digital TV coverage, online live timing and race data - Formula1.com is the world’s most popular dedicated F1 website - and award-winning computer games all help bring the fans closer to the action, while programmes such as the FOM-backed F1 in Schools™ student design competition ensure that it is the engineers of F1 racing as well as its drivers that inspire future generations.
Given the success of Formula One racing, it’s perhaps no surprise that the world’s leading companies - in fields ranging from financial services, telecommunications and airlines to champagne and fuels - are eager to pay to be associated with the F1 brand. To safeguard such associations and to stay one step ahead of the imitators and brand hijackers, FOM invests heavily in programmes and legal measures to protect the inestimable goodwill and integrity of the F1 brand, to ensure that it retains its value as a major sports brand on the world stage. With a global trademark portfolio and a strong reputation for combating misuse, the F1 brand continues to grow. With Abu Dhabi, India, Korea, Singapore and USA added to the calendar in recent seasons, the world’s fastest brand shows no sign of slowing anytime soon.
Innovation, glamour, excitement, speed and excellence - the F1 brand is a powerful symbol and has long denoted and identified a fine and distinctive partnership between sporting and technological excellence, embracing its historical roots whilst looking forward to the challenges of the future to maintain its position as the very pinnacle of motor racing.

Scotland Golf Tours
With a legacy that spans six centuries, there is no finer place to play a round of golf than the country that gave the game to the world. You'll be spoiled for choice on your golf break in Scotland with over 550 fantastic courses to play, including links courses, parkland courses, heathland courses and everything else in between.
A golf trip to Scotland is also the perfect opportunity to see some of the world's most prestigious tournaments being played out. Scotland regularly hosts The Open Championship and the Ricoh Women's British Open, amongst many, many others.
EXPLORE THE HOME OF GOLF
The first record of golf in Scotland dates from the 15th century (back then it was known as 'gowf'). In 1764 the Links at St Andrews (now known as the Old Course) was reduced from 22 holes to 18, creating the standard course format we still use today, and in 1860 the first Open Championship was held at Prestwick - an illustrious history indeed! Find out more about the history of golf at the British Golf Museum in St Andrews.
WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST GOLFERS
Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus - amongst scores of other top golfers - have all played here and many of Scotland's most prestigious courses were designed by golfing legends. 'Old' Tom Morris designed the Old and New Courses at St Andrews while James Braid is responsible for more than 250 British courses, including the world-famous King's and Queen's Courses at Gleneagles
Thailand Golf Tours

USA Golf Tours
How many sports cater for all abilities to the extent that you can play competitively with Mom, Dad, your grandparents, your kids, alone, or even with a professional? The USA is a special place to play, watch, and enjoy golf. America boasts 17,000 courses on which to play the game, is the heartbeat of the sport at professional level, host of three of the four men's Major Championships, and home to many of the finest players - male or female - to have played the sport.
The lush and verdant fairways, perfectly manicured greens, and the exotic flora and fauna of Augusta National, Georgia immediately spring to mind. Augusta hosts the opening major of every year, the US Masters, in the first week of April. Augusta simply oozes golfing history. The course boasts one of the game's most stunning stretches - Amen Corner - and the champion is presented with one of sport's most iconic prizes, the coveted green jacket, by the previous year's winner.
The season's next Major is the US Open, the climax of which takes place on the third Sunday of June, which is also Father's Day. The tournament is open to any professional golfer who completes qualifying and the competition rotates around some of the country's toughest courses on a year-by-year basis. The same is true for the year's final major - the PGA Championship, often just referred to as the PGA - which is played in August, just prior to Labor Day. This is the most lucrative of the game's four majors, with the victor taking home a purse of $10 million in 2014.
In terms of playing the game, the USA boasts every corner of the golfing spectrum imaginable: there's green parkland, dusty dessert courses, and stunning links. In addition to the many fine private courses, there are world-class public courses, which can be more affordable and accessible for visitors. Try Chambers Bay in Washington State, home of the 2015 US Open and one of the country's top public courses, Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia, or Florida's brilliant pair Sawgrass (Ponte Verde) and Blue Monster (Miami). Over in California lies Torrey Pines' famous links and the iconic Pebble Beach. Within a stone's throw of New York City (about one hour's drive) is Bethgate Park - home to five courses, including the world-famous Black Course. Another golfing mecca is Louisiana's Audubon Golf Trail, which has 12 exceptional courses covering the state's five regions. The list goes on: there are wonderful golf courses, public and private, on offer in all 50 American states.
