I think you can still rent an old (AGS or something like that) F1 car with about 650hp at Paul Ricard. But its pretty expensive at about 7000 euros for 10 laps.
So its going to cost a small fortune to do enough laps to get comfortable enough to even approach its limit no matter how benign they set up the car for ham fisted amateurs.
Still got to be worth a go though if you were ever in the area.
Probably too much of a tight fit for me at 6 foot....I once managed to wangle a go in a race prepared (old school replica) Cobra but it was too tight to feel comfortable enough to really press on. Still it was a fun few laps.
