Covid-19 Information & Update for Drive Supercars
▼

##Updated 16th November 2021

Dear Customers,

I hope this email finds you well during these challenging times...

As you are likely aware, the Prime Minister on Monday afternoon announced that the Waikato would move to Level 2  on the 16th of November and Auckland remains at Level 3 (stage 2). At this stage there is still no clear timeline for Auckland's return to level 2.  

In order for us to operate we require Auckland to be at Level 2 so that our staff and many customers have passage through the border to Hampton Downs Motorsport Park.

At this stage after reviewing best assessments we would anticipate that it is unlikely that Auckland would be at level 2 by the Drive Day scheduled for 2nd of December. 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 December 2nd. 

We have however released additional dates this week of February 17th, March 24th, April 21st and May19th and we are working closely with Hampton Downs currently to secure additional dates for the first half of 2022.

VOUCHERS
You don't have to worry about your expiry date, you'll be able to book for any available date even if it falls after your expiry. Please follow the link below to view real-time availability and to select a new date and time.

The Experience

This is the pinnacle of driving experiences! Take the wheel of a Lamborghini Murcielago around Hampton Downs Motorsport Park and you will instantly realise why this is one of the greatest cars in the world. The power, the sound, the experience will never be forgotten.

As Lamborghini's flagship, the Murcielago has an unsurpassed style & unbelievable power - a combination that only Lamborghini can perfectly combine. Simply astonishing.

Take it all in as you drive for 8km around Hamptons Downs Raceway while one of our expert drivers guide you on the finer points of handling this supercar. The noise is unparalleled and the experience will never be forgotten.

Then just when you thought it couldn't get any better, you’ll get the chance to jump into the passenger seat of the awesome Mitsubishi EvoX for a fast lap around the track. A great way to finish off the experience, every seat is as good as the next in this very capable car so whether you’re in the front or the back seat you’ll be smiling when you get out. The ultimate end to a once in a life-time driving experience.
