Duration:
Operated By:
It’s every racer’s dream ! a V8 engine full of grunt and the freedom to drive as hard and as fast as you can. Now it’s your turn to get behind the wheel and experience the thrill for yourself.
Upon arrival for your off-road racing experience, you’ll attend a driver’s briefing covering the rules and track conditions. Then it’s into the off-road buggies for a drive around the track to get the adrenaline pumping!
You will then drive a real Race Buggy with an instructor riding alongside as your navigator, offering encouragement and handy tips on car control, drifting and racing techniques. Your confidence will grow with every lap, as will your speed down the back dirt straight, with plenty of sideways action through the turns.
All of this takes place in a powerful Toyota Lexus V8-powered Race Buggy. During the experience, you’ll be provided with a full-face helmet, race overalls and secured in a race harness, allowing you to safely unleash your inner speed demon.
With adrenaline still coursing through your veins after your drive, climb into the passenger seat with one of our professional drivers and experience the track from a whole new perspective.

We came to the Gold Coast location purely because it had a jump, and are now thinking of booking a rally car experience in Ipswich also!
Had 2 stints (12/8 laps) in the v8 buggy with Rhyce. He was super calm and relaxed and made it easy for me to feel relaxed. I was worried that the instructors would hold me back, but he did the opposite and really pushed me to learn how to get the most out of the car without losing control. Not an expert by any means, but by the end I was pushing about as hard as I think I could, and Rhyce kept giving me tips to get faster!
Then out of the V8 and into the CanAm for the hot laps. Was unreal sitting next to a pro just going for it! So much fun. My 12 year old daughter and 2 of her cousins were there and ended up getting each of them a hot lap because of how much fun it was and they all had a blast!
The only criticism was that it was over too quickly! Would loved to have stayed for hours and hours! The team were super friendly and accomodating, and enjoyed chatting to them in the down moments about their experiences racing. Really knowledgeable and just great people. One of the great family owned and operated businesses out there! Love what they do and the passion they do it with! Will definitely be back!
Happy ta have a yarn and can they can drive.
Whether by yourself, corporate or with some mates. We'll worth the cost!
Once again couldn’t be happier with the experience and I’m looking forward to Bri going my dad here soon 10/10
As for the off-road driving experience, while it looked exciting, we found the circuit a bit underwhelming. It was mostly flat with minimal turns and had only one ramp that didn’t allow for much airtime. For the price, the driving experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.
Overall, the exceptional hospitality of the staff was a highlight of our visit. We hope that in the future, the circuit can be enhanced to offer more thrills, making the experience truly worth the investment.
Owners very friendly and driver was excellent in the hot lap!
-Awesome first time off road racing experience
-Streamline online booking
-Professional staff
-Confident instructor
Considerations for improvement:
-An elevated viewing area higher than the spectator hill would make waiting much more engaging.
-A track map/diagram(even as an online version) would have been much appreciated as we had no idea what to expect prior to entering the driver seat.
-Seat adjustments were a little limiting for adults of smaller stature: They cycle drivers through at an efficient pace and experience will be over before you know it, so make sure you are seated at the controls comfortably.
Fantastic experience, and I will recommend it to all driving enthusiasts
Great communication all through the booking process, easy to locate venue and very sincere service.
We had some mud which i think made it more fun, even though probably slightly slower than the track would allow. Nonetheless wee man had a brilliant few hours and has another experience to remember.
