Thanks (finally!) for the awesome experience we purchased for our daughter's 21st, and thanks for the bonus laps. Shannon was absolutely buzzing and thoroughly enjoyed herself. We may have purchased a further package if the 20% discount lasted somewhat longer than just 3 days!

Great way to spend a day out. The Lambo was an epic drive and the hot lap with Eddie in the Evo X will leave you questioning how it's possible for a stock road car to have that much grip around corners. Definitely a must do!

Really great day on the track. Favourites were the Lamborghini and Lotus. Not so keen on the Ferrari. Instructors were awesome with a special mention for Stu and Carl. Highly recommended

I had an absolutely fantastic day! There was a bit of a delay while we waited for the fog to clear but that really wasn't a problem. Just the sheer exhilaration of hopping into your dream car and driving it is something that will stay with you for a lifetime. I drove the Ferrari F430 and the power and acceleration was something to behold. I could have driven around the track all day! Also had a blast in the Aston Martin and the hotlap in the Lotus Exige was out of this world. Photos and videos don't really do it justice and you actually have to drive the cars to get the most from this experience. Thank you to my darling for the best present any man could want.

My daughter and I just had the very best fun. It was a great way to spend the day in Auckland. We laughed and laughed and the adrenaline was pumping. We're going to do it again with our son now. Great birthday present.

Hi Drive Supercars team What a great afternoon. Thanks so much for your hospitality and the chance to drive some great cars under your expert guidance. Everyone on the team made us feel very welcome and nothing was any trouble. I would definitely recommend a trip to Hampton Downs with you guys to anyone who wants an awesome driving experience.

Hi team. Thanks so much for a great morning. This was a 21st present for my boy Hamish and this is something he will never forget. I also treated myself to a bucket list experience to drive a Ferrari which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks also to David for his patience and guidance. Shane Hutchinson.

We are a corporate company and have recently attended this event with some key clients. Its hard to describe in words but if you are thinking about this as a great way to give your clients that ‘bucket list’ experience I suggest stop thinking about it and BOOK NOW! What an incredible experience, we had such a great time we have secured future bookings with other key clients. Great experience, great facility, and great team. Well done Drive Supercars Team.

The Experience

Oh the choices…what a life when you get to choose between driving a Ferrari F430 Spyder or an Aston Martin V8 Vantage!

Would you go for the aerodynamic lines of the convertible Ferrari F430 Spyder or the Aston Martin's style & sophistication?
Yes – the choice is yours!

You'll take the wheel of your favourite supercar for a lakeside roadie. We’ll start with an introduction and an overview of the day and where we’ll be heading. You’ll then recieve a personalised in car familiarisation to make sure you’re comfortable and ready to go.

With a two way radio onboard you’ll be able to make contact with your guide in the lead car at any point. We’ll leave Hampton Downs Apartments in convoy and start cruising south along the motorway where you’ll get an introduction to the amazing symphony that radiates from these masterpieces of automotive engineering.

As we leave the motorway and head toward Te Kauwhata you’ll be able to relax into the country atmosphere and the type of environment these vehicles thrive within. A cruise through the township never fails to have every head turn as you instantly become a local celebrity!

From Te Kauwhata we wind our way alongside Lake Waikere where the water becomes a picturesque backdrop to the easy rolling Waikato back roads.

Stopping lakeside for a mini photoshoot gives everyone the opportunity to capture their next winning profile pic and some enviable bragging rights. You’ll also have a chance to compare experiences with others on the roadie before swapping seats with your passenger if you've chosen to share the driving .

As we begin our homeward leg, it’s a chance to savour the unique experience that is cruising on NZ roads with likeminded people in a convoy of supercars...just magic!

Location
Please meet us outside Hampton Downs Apartments (Hulme Block), Hampton Downs Road, Meremere
