I loved it!! Would love to do it again but we went away the next day so couldn't take advantage of 20% off. But I had a great time! Thanks

We really enjoyed our day and took advantage of the GoKarts track being right next door. It was certainly a day well worth while with the team at Hampton Downs providing excellent service both on the track and off the track! The instructor was an excellent co-pilot and guided you all the way through the course ….which made the experience even better! Thanks Team....worth a repeat!

Absolutely brilliant experience. Driving instructor, very very good - sorry I cant remember his name. Would and have recommended it already. Loved the Hot car drive - I may have missed some due to closing eyes!

Excellent experience, they really do make you feel welcome right from the moment you park your car at the entrance. I was surprised at the freedom we had to roam around and check out the supercars. The pilot lap was helpful, and the drive itself was the highlight, if you're willing to listen to the instructor you'd be surprised how much you can get out of the experience. I would also recommend the Evo X Hotlap, will definitely be back!

We found the staff very friendly and accommodating. One suggestion would be to have a warm up lap in the vehicle being driven then 3 laps. Overall the experience was very good.

Awesome day for my son. Only thing he was a bit disappointed about was the hot lap as a back seat passenger. I understand that you mention it in the marketing but it isn't the same experience between front and back seat the visuals are missing in the back. I think either you pay more and book front seat, pay more and run more laps as singles, or continue to have people angling to get in front seat and those who are not pushy having a lesser experience - and they do, in spite of the on site teams programmed response which was ' it's the same experience" CHeers

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!
