Dear Customers,

May 14th Drive Day Update Below

Since the Prime Minister's announcement that we would move to Level 3 until a review on May 11th we have discussed with Hampton Downs to see what our options could be with regard to running our Drive Day safely as planned on May 14th.

Given the Department of Health Guidelines neither we (Drive Supercars) nor Hampton Downs Motorsport Park can operate at Level 3. At this stage after reviewing best assessments we would anticipate that it is most likely Level 2 will be announced to commence on Monday the 18th of May. We do appreciate that many of our customers require a definitive decision as soon as possible enabling them to manage existing travel arrangements and other commitments. Taking this into account we need to act with the best information we have at hand and unfortunately postpone our drive day scheduled for May 14th. 

We have however secured an additional date for when we return after the winter break and all dates can be viewed here.

One of the best experiences I've ever had. Your team was very professional and ensured everything ran smoothly. I'm still buzzing. My only downside was the USB video. I have been unable to play it with sound which rather defeats the purpose. I've never had a problem like this on my computer. Is there a specific software required to play it?

An awesome day. Thank you to the team who ran his day. Claudia had a fabulous time and the smile on her face at the end of the day will stay with me always. I can't recommend highly enough that anyone should give this a go. And it's a perfect gift to give, so buy that someone special a gift card!

It was an awesome day from start to finish. Professional on boarding process, clear communication and outlook communicated about potential delays due to fog. Felt safe and appreciated throughout all interactions with staff. Only one bugbear which would be awesome for you to add to the USB Video is adding the Speed telemetry to the video. I was too focused on the road ahead during my drive and never looked at the speedo and was hopeful it may have been part of the graphics on the video. It’s the first question people ask, “how fast did you go?” But unfortunately I have no idea. Someone mentioned you get up to about 200km down back straight but I have no idea what personally I did. Having the speed on there would be the icing on the cake and make a 9/10 experience a 10/10 once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks

Key Points
  • Your session begins with a Video Safety Briefing
  • A passenger Sighting Lap familarises you with the circuit

The Experience

Why choose drive one when you can drive two? Double the excitement by driving the Lotus as well as one other Supercar choosing from the Lamborghini, Ferrari & Aston Martin.

Would you go for the Lamborghini's raw V12 power, the Aston Martin's style & sophistication, or the soft and aerodynamic lines of the convertible Ferrari F430 Spyder? Yes – the choice is yours!

You'll take the wheel for 8km in both the Lotus as well as your choice from the three powerhouse brands in automotive perfomance and prestige  - which will you choose? As if this wasn’t the perfect gift, we wrap it up in style with a flying hot lap in the passenger seat of the awesome Mitsubishi EvoX. The ultimate end to a once in a life-time driving experience, every seat in this 4-door superstar is as good as the next - whether you’re in the front seat or the back you’ll be smiling from ear to ear when you get out.

See you at the track!
