Itinerary

If you’ve ever wanted to find out what it’s like to experience a world-class, purpose built circuit then the Radical U-Drive is for you. Wind in your face, the sound of the engine speeding across the track and the feel of each curve you take, this is the ultimate in self-drive experiences – like driving in your own Le Mans!

The Radical SR3 is a lot like the Le Mans vehicles seen in endurance races and is hugely popular within the racing community. Featuring aerodynamic bodywork for increased downforce, reduced drag and racing slick tyres for ultimate cornering speed. Listen to the sound generated by this highly tuned four-cylinder racing engine as it accelerates down Pisa straight – it’s mind-blowing! Our cars are also fitted with a 6 speed paddle shift gearbox to complete the ultimate race car feel.

You have 7 laps to experience the thrill of a real race car environment – guided by your very own professional race driver from start to finish. Hands down an awesome technical race experience that you’ll never forget – we put you in the driver’s seat so you can get a taste of what it is like to be Formula One driver.

    Fantastic experience. Steve was an excellent driving coach. His patience and assistance was most helpful. Will almost certainly do it again soon. As with everything at Highlands the professionalism was outstanding.

    Excellent time had by all the family. Finally got a nice dry day for our car racing. The staff are so friendly and the driver was amazing! Highly recommend. My husband did the Radical U drive and the Ferrari for his 50th birthday and the family went in the Taxi.

    I learned about Highlands by chance while in the middle of a month long trip to NZ. A lifelong motorsports fan, I could not pass up the chance to drive the Radical sports racer on a genuine racetrack. I was blown away at the level of presentation, preparation and professionalism I encountered. Needless to say driving the Radical on the "C" course with some excellent pro guidance was unforgettable. Can't recommend this experience highly enough. Simply must do it if you have the chance!

    An amazing experience, the friendly and professional staff were great to deal with and the instructor was supportive and encouraged a bit of a push outside the comfort zone. The car was great to drive, grippy and felt very safe in all areas. Being an open cockpit was very cool as you could feel the helmet start to bobble at top speed. Will definitely do this again.
