BMW Race Car Experience - Ride & Drive - Pukekohe or Hampton Downs - 1 person

This gift provides the chance to drive a BMW race car at racing speeds. You will be coached from the passenger seat using the in-car intercom linked between your helmet and the instructor’s helmet to help you create your perfect lap at one of New Zealand’s leading race tracks.

A data logger measures and compares your performance. You will receive a visual print-out of your fastest lap which you can then compare to others.

End the day with 3 flat-out laps as a passenger at full, white-knuckle race speeds with an experienced race driver. The experience of a lifetime – not for the faint hearted!
