Drive Supercars runs supercar experiences at Hampton Downs Raceway on Hampton Downs Road, in Waikato. Guests can drive a supercar, or ride as a passenger on a hot lap in a Lotus, an Aston Martin, a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, and the packages include an Evo-X hot lap. We hear the Lotus Legends offer, with two bonus laps, is for a limited time. The business says it has been running these experiences for more than 15 years, and it set out to give everyday people the chance to drive cars usually reserved for a few.
Customers describe the day as well structured and easy to follow, from check-in to the pit lane. They praise the reception staff, the pit lane host and a friendly Lotus driver. One said the experience was exactly what they expected and more, and another said it ticked a bucket-list item. Drives are also sold as gifts for a birthday or a special occasion. Our pick at Hampton Downs for a day out in a car you would not normally drive.
