Diverse Abilities?

We welcome and cater for all people with diverse abilities.

We offer both Drive and Ride experiences in our Race Cars, where our staff will assist you with logistical access to our vehicles.

Our organisation has a proud history of assisting people with ‘speech or hearing impairment’ to enjoy our race car driving experiences, or those with ‘mobility or sight challenges’ the opportunity to experience ride laps in a real race car with one of our professional race car drivers.

Our Staff and Management are not trained in Disability Care, however, we are compassionate and dedicated to providing the time and assistance you require. We base our assistance on your individual advice, family or carers guidance on the day. You will be supported, not rushed.
