THIS IS YOUR EXPERIENCE

Drive a Single Seater at Taupo

You’re driving a V8 and a Single Seater Race Car for 8 laps each around Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park Taupo Track 3

A DVD briefing starts your day, to learn the theory of driving on a race track along with the safety aspects of the day. Once the briefing is done, then it’s off to the pit lane where the fun starts!!

Your on-track V8 driving experience starts by getting suited up in a race suit and race boots then into our tuition car for an introduction lap around the circuit with one of our in-car consultants talking you around the track while you’re in the passenger seat. And if you want, you can take a spectator along for the ride so they can experience the thrill of being on a racetrack too.

Then it’s your turn behind the wheel.

8 laps driving a Ford or Holden V8 racecar with one of our instructors in the passenger seat, followed by another 8 laps behind the wheel of the unique single-seater race cars.

Includes a Certificate and Photo

And just in case it is all just a blur, you’ll be presented with a certificate with your fastest lap and a picture of you just before you had the thrill of your life!!!!!
