Fun Drive Challenges
Take the wheel of an MX5 at Taupo International Motorsport Park and test your driving skills with our Fun Drive Slalom and Gymkhana Challenges then take to the track for a few laps behind the wheel!
Yes, you take the wheel of one of the world’s most popular sports cars and put it through its paces on our challenging slalom and gymkhana courses before driving yourself around the bends of Taupo International Motorsport Park’s Club Circuit.
Your pro-driver instructor will show you how to tackle the slalom, gymkhana and the sweeping bends of our Club Circuit in your own fun sports car in a safe environment.
Whatever your requirements, we will work with you to create a fun and memorable driving experience.
This is the perfect experience for small groups of mates or medium to large size business groups looking for an exhilarating team building experience to include in their next conference, business meeting, key client event or staff outing.
