How do Passenger Laps run with seating?
We use V8 drift cars for all passenger experiences if there is a car issue we can utilise the Skylines but only on short track. Our V8 are designed to seat three passengers at one time an Australian first and the ONLY experience in Australia that offers this. It means you can drift with your family and friends! We generally use the front seat for kids, shorter customers, people who suffer from motion sickness or with disabilities so we can keep an eye on them. Don’t be discouraged by the rear seats, as we are going sideways vision is not limited. To top it off the rear seats are further behind the swing pendulum, which means, the rear seats get thrown around more than the front seat.

Yes spectators can come and watch, if you're planning to bring along additional spectators please bring along a camp chair just in case. We can’t cater for all friends and family.

Yes you can take photos behind the red and yellow lines, we don’t allow clients on the cement barrier walls for insurance and safety reasons. Please ensure all children stay behind the red and yellow line also. We do offer in car footage from go pros of the experience, available for purchase on the day.
