Supercar Driving Experience

Perhaps Dad would love to experience what it feels like to drive an Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 430, Nissan GTR or Porsche GT3?

That's plenty of time to get a feel for the car, feel the power at the pedal and appreciate the superb handling and plush interior.

Keep in mind there are no more 2020 dates available for the Zwartkops Raceway, but dates for the 2021 season are expected towards the end of 2020, so keep an eye out. You can get this experience from Experience Days for R2 999*.
