Rally Drive NZ

Rally Drive NZ runs Motorsport NZ–accredited rally school courses, instructor‑led hot laps and private hire on the gravel stages of Maramarua Forest. Packages put you in genuine rally cars on purpose‑built forest stages used for national events.

The operation is based at Okaeria Road, Maramarua Forest (Waikato). Bookings are offered through the official site and selected third‑party experience platforms; different packages suit beginners up to experienced drivers.

A hands‑on motorsport experience on a roughly 5 km gravel rally stage in Maramarua Forest with professional instruction and the option to drive or ride as a passenger.

Look out for:

• Driving and passenger packages in real rally cars (commonly turbo Evos) on forest gravel.

• Motorsport NZ–accredited tuition, including instructor/co‑driver guidance and a safety briefing.

• Hot laps and longer rally‑school sessions; private‑hire/testing options on request.

• Variable surface conditions (dust, loose gravel, mud) depending on weather and recent use.

Best way to experience it:

Book the driving package that matches your skill level, arrive prepared for rural conditions and confirm what’s included in your chosen package (seat time, passenger rides, insurance/waiver details) before you travel.

• Site is in a rural forest location; allow extra travel time and expect limited on‑site facilities.

• Gravel stages can be dusty or muddy; dress for the weather and wear closed shoes.

• Bookings are available via the official website and some third‑party platforms; confirm package inclusions in advance.

• Motorsport NZ accreditation means sessions are run to national safety standards, but you’ll need to follow all instructor and site rules.
