Lots of fun on a short track - The mustang is a bit of a pig but still fun trying out a new track. Great facility with lots to do or just sit and watch from the cafe. Excellent instructor. Go for the extra laps if you can as 7 is barely enough to get up to speed.

Clean, spacious facilities, even a loo with a view , quite stunning. ALL the staff were professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, nothing was to much trouble. The racetrack is spellbinding. The surroundings are just beautiful. We loved our Highland Park experience.

Fantastic day - I spent the day at Highlands, started with the u-drive V8 Mustang and what a great experience, the pro driver Paul was great.
Great team at the go karts, whole family enjoyed the karts.
Steve took us out in the Porsche taxi and that was just amazing, fantastic 2 laps.
All the staff were friendly and very helpful.
Can't recommend Highlands any higher, we had a great relaxing day at this world class facility.

So Satisfying! - Amazing experience! Extremely satisfying to flow through the circuit after a few laps of learning it, especially exiting the hairpin before the long straight. The engine sound, sensation of speed, and nailing a good racing line add up to a pure thrill.
My instructor Andrew was great. I felt he struck the balance between making sure I was driving safely and allowing (and encouraging!) me to push the car close to its limit perfectly.

QUEENSTOWN HOLIDAY 2021 - My husband was buzzing this experience! He was feeling unmotivated after doing all the drving and I thought to give him the adrenalin shot and so he got in it and came out of Mustang with full energy!! Tip: take your phone with you and record the entire ride! Not sure if I am willing to do it myself but its absolute fun!
