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?

omg the best fun ever, I drove the Lotus and it was such an experience. The Instructor ( Geoff ) sorry if I got it wrong I was so excited was immensely thorough in his pre drive instructions and guided me through the drive fantastically. My only regret was I didn’t take up the offer of the extra laps. Next time!

Thank you very much to your team for a very enjoyable day. Knowledgeable and friendly staff made my driving experience of the Lotus Exige most memorable. I am already trying to decide which car to drive next and whether it be my childhood hero, the Lamborghini, or James Bond's Aston Martin I'm sure my mind will change many times. I will definitely be recommending the experience to friends and family, once again thank you very much.

I thoroughly enjoyed my supercar experience. From my initial interaction with staff at the sign in desk to leaving at the end of the booking, I found the experience that Drive Supercars offers to be excellent. I honestly dont have a negative thing to say, except it ended too soon. The driving instructor, was a genuinely top bloke and his feedback was highly appreciated. I was talking to your staff and you can they are happy and enjoy what they do which is great as it reflects positively for your business. And unlike the previous time I went to Hampton Downs, the weather was perfect. I would highly recommend your company to anyone who has even the slightest interest in driving a sports car on the track. We will most likely book the Lambo and the Lotus again next year.

  • Safety Briefing & Sighting Lap

The Experience

This is your chance to take the wheel of a Lotus Exige for 8km around Hampton Downs Raceway in Auckland. The Exige's light weight & low suspension puts it in a class of its own and you'll be right in on the action.

The sleek style and compact design has all the appeal of the Elise, with a whole new level of power. After you strap in and run through the briefing with our experienced instructor, you'll be off for an unforgettable drive around what drivers consider the greatest track in the Southern Hemisphere.

Take it all in as you drive for 8km around Hamptons Downs Raceway while one of our expert instructors 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.
