Thanks again to all your staff for a great day.
— Maia Blanche
I've done a heap of different experiences - V8's, Mustangs, Skid Pan & Drifting.
This was by far the most fun I've had on 4 wheels.
A professional outfit with heaps of instruction before jumping in these little beasts.
10 x laps was not enough, I'll be coming back
— Nathan McCluskey
I can't believe it was that much fun!
The car was amazing - precise steering, stopped on a dime and the grip in the corners was unbelievable. For a 1.6L engine it had all the power needed for a thrilling drive.
The crew were fantastic and made everyone feel relaxed and confident.
I had 10 laps but was held up by a slower driver, so they extended my session by 2 laps.
Can't recommend this drive experience highly enough.
— Robert Cavanagh

I was very impressed by the way the staff managed the whole thing. It felt like they really wanted you to have a good time and they created a great experience.
Would definitely go back in a heart beat.
5 stars guys!
