Paddon Rallysport

Paddon Rallysport is a professional rally team and driver‑experience operator based at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell. The outfit runs vehicle development, driver training, crosskart leasing and premium track/adrenaline tours from a purpose‑built workshop adjacent to the circuit.

Visitors can book on‑track experiences, coaching and corporate or private track hire sessions; the team is led by New Zealand rally driver Hayden Paddon and operates from a 500 m² workshop within the Highlands complex.

Bookable, coached driving and track sessions run from the team’s workshop at Highlands Motorsport Park. Sessions focus on seat time and vehicle control rather than sightseeing.

Look out for:

• Professional coaching from Paddon Rallysport instructors and structured driver training.

• Crosskart and rally‑style track sessions tailored to varying experience levels.

• The team’s purpose‑built workshop and preparation area beside the 4.3 km Highlands circuit.

• Occasional special events or team testing days that may limit public availability.

Best way to experience it: Book a coached driving session or track tour in advance through the official site, arrive at Highlands Motorsport Park early for safety briefings, and discuss goals with instructors so they can tailor laps and coaching to your level.

• Book experiences in advance through the Paddon Rallysport website or contact forms.

• Located inside Highlands Motorsport Park; follow venue parking and check‑in instructions.

• Public availability varies—team testing or events can affect session dates.

• Expect a safety briefing on arrival and follow instructor guidance during on‑track activities.
