What about my Guests?

The guests (your fans!) of each driver will also have the chance to purchase themselves a hotlap and experience what 'all the fuss is about', being driven at championship pace by one of our professional instructors.

Guests are also catered for with Morning/ Afternoon tea and refreshments available for the duration of the course.

Who can Drive?

Anyone aged 16- 90 with a drivers licence. We will also accept a driver who may have temporarily lost their licence as we would for a 15 year old car club member with a CAMS licence. However, speak to us if you have any questions about this. Our cars all have manual transmissions and a clutch. You need to be able to competently drive a manual car.

What to wear

Please be sure to wear long trousers, closed in shoes and at least a t-shirt, polo top or whatever is suitable for the prevailing weather. (No singlets, shorts, sandals or thongs) Guests also need to meet these requirements if they are enjoying a 'hot lap'.

Weather

Good 'dry' weather required for Rally Driving on Dirt. The Judgement and final decisions are made at the track by our experienced professional drivers. Wet is sometimes fun and challenging, but it lots slower and often more dangerous. Our V8 Utes are scared of the rain.
