Hey guys, had an awesome time on Tuesday! We were seriously considering rescheduling based on the weather, but so glad we didn't. Even during the wait for the rain, it was great how all of you worked together and kept everyone updated regularly. Dave, the instructor I drove with was helpful, patient, and clear with his instructions. Making it really enjoyable, too. I came away asking the same question that I'm sure many ask... "how do I get a job with you guys, doing this??" I've spent the rest of the week back at the office wishing I was back there. Not only coz of the cars, but the team were all so awesome and friendly and enjoyable to be around. Thanks so much, guys!

Loved it so much, made for a really enjoyable day. The cars were the vital part as you’d expect but the friendly, efficient and skilled team (all of them) added so much to make It special.

As expected, we again, had an excellent time with Eddie and his team. Everyone is professional, from the greeters to the instructors. The car was in excellent shape and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We will go again and recommend others do, too.

Hi Eddie and team, A BIG,BIG thank you for a wicked day out, so impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of your whole team. The weather on the day of our driving experience was certainly challenging and was handled with aplomb by your entire crew. The communication leading up to the day was top notch, the vehicles provided were in great condition and the instructors knowledgeable and friendly and prepared to unreservedly share their skills and experience. You will see us again in the future and we will be recommending the experience to friends and family. Thanks again Jeff from Waiheke

Great day well organised and very friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend anyone to try. I paid for the Aston Martin, lotus & Evo hot lap with zero insurance and usb. We had the usb checked prior to leaving and was advised everything was all good. When we arrived home and tried to play - there is no footage from the Lotus which was driven first. Bit of a let down as this was supposed to be a recorded memory from the day.

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!
