Sandown V8 Hot Laps a Blast

Ian 12 April 2026

We were very lucky on the day to catch a break in the rain so the Commodores and Mustangs could get onto the track. I scored a V8 Commodore (you can request your preference) driven by “Luffy”. It was a blast from the second he hit the accelerator! Couldn’t believe quick we hit the corners or the g-forces through the chicane. We cracked 200kph down the straights! It was all over in a few minutes but I’m still wearing the grin!! Thanks for an awesome day out.

2 x hot laps

Jaeden 12 April 2026

We took our 15yr old son to experience the 2 x laps as a passenger today.... although he enjoyed it ...we were extremely disappointed at how disorganised everything was... no idea where to go... thought he was in a briefing .... and suddenly he appeared after COMPLETING the experience... we did not get to watch him ... or even know where he was.... this was a disappointment as it was the whole point of the day as we had booked it for his birthday.

Customer Experience

Hi Jaeden, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience felt disorganised and that you missed out on being able to watch your son, especially as it was a special birthday booking. Please reach out to us directly and we can look into what happened and assist further.

Not very Happy

Emanuel 19 January 2025

We felt that we were not treated like other customers. I think it was because we had a Red Balloon voucher.
