V8 Superdrive

V8 SuperDrive runs hands-on driving and hotlap experiences from Euromarque Motorsport Park (Ruapuna) near Christchurch. Sessions include self-drive V8 laps, hotlap rides in race-spec cars, and gift vouchers sold online.

Sessions are instructor‑led and use manual‑transmission vehicles; customers are asked to arrive about 15 minutes before their booked session. Drive days are posted on the site and run subject to track availability and weather.

You’ll get a short briefing, an instructor briefing ride, then on‑track laps in race-prepared V8s or as a hotlap passenger.

Look out for:

• Drive sessions typically include 2 instruction laps followed by multiple driving laps for self‑drive packages.

• Vehicles are manual transmission; some prior manual experience is required.

• Session times are scheduled (common start times shown on the site) and arrival ~15 minutes early is recommended.

• Activities run only when the track is suitable; wet weather can cancel driving.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early, bring photo ID and comfortable closed shoes, follow the instructor’s safety briefing, and book in advance via the V8 SuperDrive site or contact enquiries@v8superdrive.co.nz.

• Vehicles are manual; some manual driving experience recommended.

• Arrive about 15 minutes before your session.

• Sessions operate on posted drive days and can be cancelled in wet conditions.

• Bookings and gift vouchers are sold through the official site.
