Overview

Highlights

You drive a Lotus Exige
Evo-X hot lap by a professional instructor
Full safety briefing and familiarization lap

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

What's Included?

Full safety instruction
In car instruction from a professional instructor
Familiarization lap
8km supercar drive
Mitsubishi EVO-X hot lap

You'll take the wheel & experience the incredible drive that the Lotus Exige has to offer.

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 a 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 an expert instructor guides 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!
