General FAQ’s

Are participants in the vehicles by themselves?

No, there will be an Instructor in the vehicle when he is driving. 

The Instructor and Driver will talk to each other through an intercom in the helmets.  

The purpose of the Instructor is to get him driving to the best of his ability and get him going quicker then he ever thought he would be able to. 

All of our Instructors have or are currently competing in the Australian Off Road Racing Championship so you won't find anyone any better to teach you the skills of driving!

All of our vehicles are manual cars

Even if you can not drive or haven’t driven a manual before, our instructors can either teach you how to do the gears or do the gears for you.
