Exotic supercar experiences put you behind the wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren or Lotus, either on a racetrack with a coach beside you or on scenic roads with an instructor. Passenger rides are an option too, if you'd rather leave the driving to a professional. Either way, you finish with the engine note in your ears and the photos to prove it.
Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari, Lotus Elise: most people only ever see these cars behind a rope or a window. A supercar experience puts you in the driver's seat, on a racetrack with a coach beside you or on open roads with an instructor, and a passenger option exists for anyone who'd rather watch the scenery go by at speed.
Track drives run on selected weekends at Sydney Motorsport Park in Eastern Creek and at Sandown Raceway in Springvale. The Ferrari, Lotus and Lamborghini Drive covers twelve laps across three cars in Sydney, and the Ferrari, Lotus and Lamborghini Combo is its Sandown equivalent, a half-day session. To stay with one car, the Toro Lamborghini Supercar Drive gives you six laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo, and the Cavallo Ferrari Supercar Drive gives you four in a Ferrari Modena 360. A professional coach rides with you on every track package.
Melbourne's road drives start in Port Melbourne. The Ferrari Drive in Melbourne runs to St Kilda and takes in the Formula One circuit at Albert Park Lake, while Drive a Lamborghini and Ferrari gives you equal time at the wheel of each car. On the Mornington Peninsula, Drive a Lamborghini and a Ferrari opens with a red carpet reception at Jimmy Rum Distillery in Dromana. In the Yarra Valley, a professional driver takes the wheel for the Lamborghini Ride, which finishes with a glass of sparkling at Rochford Wines.
The Gold Coast experiences leave from Helensvale and head onto local roads after a briefing from your instructor. The Ferrari Driving Experience uses a Ferrari F430 F1 Spider with paddle shift, so you can drive it as an auto or a manual. The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Drive lets you add a loved one as a passenger, and the McLaren 570S Spider Drive puts a twin-turbo V8 under your right foot. The Ferrari Drive and Helicopter Lesson Thrill Combo adds a helicopter flight and lesson to the day.
A supercar day suits the person who already has everything and has never sat in anything like this. Drive experiences go to someone with a full licence and the right age, and a passenger ride works for younger family members, so the whole household can share the story afterwards.
If you're not sure which car or city suits them, a RedBalloon gift voucher lets them pick the Ferrari, the Lamborghini or the McLaren that appeals most, in whichever city suits them.
A supercar driving experience puts you behind the wheel of an exotic car, such as a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren or Lotus, for a set number of laps on a track or a set time on public roads. A briefing comes first, and a coach or instructor rides with you throughout. Passenger rides are also available if you'd rather not drive.
Yes, if you want time at the wheel of a car you couldn't normally drive. Track drives suit people who want laps and a coach, road drives suit people who want scenery and photos, and passenger rides suit everyone else. The twelve-lap Sydney drive is a strong option for anyone who wants more than one car.
It depends on the format. Track drives at Sydney Motorsport Park and Sandown ask for 18 and a P-plate licence; most road drives ask for 25 and a full licence, and some Gold Coast one-hour drives set a minimum of 30. Passengers can ride from eight, and kids' rides start at five with an adult present.
Not on the road drives. The Ferrari and Lamborghini in Melbourne have F1-style paddle shift, and the Gold Coast Ferrari can be driven as an auto or a manual. The Lotus Elise in the Melbourne twelve-lap combo is the exception, because drivers must hold a manual licence to drive it. Check each product page for its transmission details.
Every drive starts with a briefing, and a professional rides with you: a coach on the track packages and a supercar instructor on the road drives. Track packages include a race suit and open-face helmet on selected experiences. You sign an indemnity, drivers show their licence on the day, and an excess applies if the car is damaged, so read each product page before booking.
An exotic supercar experience uses road-going cars such as a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren. A V8 supercar experience uses purpose-built touring race cars, and RedBalloon lists those separately. If the race car appeals more, browse V8 supercar experiences.
Yes, especially for mixed groups. One driver can book while a partner rides along, as on the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder drive on the Gold Coast, and Helensvale also runs kids' rides from age five. A voucher lets the recipient choose the car and city.
F1 style driving covers race car driving and hot laps, and sports and luxury car hire includes full-day self-drive hires. Classic car hire suits anyone who prefers vintage metal, while car enthusiast gifts and the wider driving experiences range cover the rest.
