    What a brilliant experience, my driver gave a full informative description of the history from the start. The ride in the Porsche SUV was something. Many thanks Mr Quinn

    The whole setup exceeded expectations. The museum, Wall of Fame, and virtual reality exhibitions are world-class and tell a wonderful story of NZ motor sport and our motor sport legends. We did two laps in the Ferrari with Damon which was an experience not to be forgotten. This facility is a credit to Tony Quinn and his team. We were also lucky to see Gisbergen and Stanaways' 2023 Bathurst-winning Chevy arrive and be put on display.

    We dropped in here on a quiet Wednesday afternoon, not really knowing what to expect. We were greeted warmly and recommended the “taxi” ride for our family of 4. Shortly after Steve turned up in the taxi - a Porsche Cayenne - and off we went with our F1 mad daughter in the front passenger seat, ready to lap it up (pun intended). Steve took us on a slow lap of the park, providing heaps of information about the history, design & use of Highlands. Then after setting up our daughter’s phone to record everything, it was time for our second lap, putting the Porsche through its paces. It was absolutely thrilling, going at close to 200kms an hour, screeching around corners and almost launching over the bridge. So much fun, and Steve was a fantastic driver - very funny but also so professional- we definitely felt safe in his hands. After that excitement we took a look through the museum and had some afternoon tea overlooking the track. The cheese rolls were the best we’d tried in all of Southland. A visit to Highlands is not complete until you visit the loos with a view. The urinals have to be seen to be believed! Would highly recommend a visit to Highlands and jumping in one of their taxis!

    The Highlands Taxi ride was a fantastic experience, and it was easily worth every cent. I would 100% do it again another time.

    Steve is an absolute legend! From the get go when shaking his welcoming hand, his knowledge cruising the track delivered with such passion, like talking about a brother & his hobby. And what an impressive hobby this park is. Thank you Steve for such a thrilling, entertaining drive. Very refreshing and not once did we feel uncomfortable....at 180km/h! Loved it! Especially the aliens! Cheers Steve!
