There’s an inescapable sense of excitement at Hampton Downs. See https://hamptondowns.com/experiences/ Hampton Downs Motorsport Park is your one-stop adventure destination. For some fast paced action, the Hampton Downs Go-karts are a must. Choose from single or tandem karts, and head out on our 530m Go-kart track to set your fastest lap time. The Lexus High Speed Safety Car is a taxi ride like no

other. Explore the circuit then experience it at speed. The Safety Car can take up to four at a time! For the adrenaline junkies there is plenty to choose from. Experience the track from behind the steering wheel of one of our V8 American Muscle cars. The Hampton Downs Supercar Fast Dash is a true bucket list adventure in our Lamborghini Huracan reaching speeds of up to 230km/h. Or test your nerve and your off-road driving skills while experiencing the power and handling of a Jeep Wrangler, a purpose-built off-road machine, with the Jeep Wrangler 4WD experience. Enjoy a full lap driving our 4WD track where you will traverse the many obstacles and undulations of the 1km off-road circuit. See https://hamptondowns.com/experiences for more info! Some experiences are weather dependent. Our front desk staff will call any prior bookings to advise if there are delays due to weather. Please note that with the unpredictable weather sometimes we are unable to reschedule or advise you in advance, however we will make our very best effort to do so! NOTE: We have a zero tolerance to alcohol on all self drive activities - so if you've been drinking the answer will be NO - so save it until after! Payment Methods: Eftpos, Credit Card, Direct Bank Deposit, Cash (Cheques not accepted)

May's Aoraki Car of the Show photoshoot!

Some cars deserve more than just a trophy.

After taking out the top spot, Matt’s R32 stepped in front of the camera for an epic photoshoot with the talented Chris Dillon.

This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R has had 9 years of passion poured into it, and these shots capture exactly why it stood out from the crowd. Absolute perfection from every angle 🔥

A big thank you to Aoraki Coffee Roaster for giving our winner $100 Aoraki Cafe voucher and Dillon Photography for the amazing photos.
