Brisbane Rally Car 2 Car Blast 16 Lap

Must Do Experiences

• Master the corners and straights for 8 laps in the 4WD Turbo Subaru to feel its raw power and agile handling.

• Switch gears and conquer another 8 laps in the Mitsubishi rally car to compare the distinct driving dynamics.

• Surrender the wheel to an experienced pro driver for a heart-pounding bonus hotlap that pushes the vehicles to their absolute limits.

• Bring your friends and family along to cheer you on from the spectator areas as you drift and speed around the track.

Hidden Gems

• Purchase the onboard video footage on the day of your drive to capture your genuine reactions and professional driving lines for an unforgettable souvenir.

• Chat with the pit crew and instructors before your drive, as they often share secret braking points and racing lines specific to the Ipswich track.

• Take advantage of the spectator-friendly layout by having your friends film your car from the outside corners where the drift angles look the most dramatic.

What Makes it Special

• Driving two distinct, purpose-built rally vehicles in a single session allows you to truly appreciate the unique engineering and handling of both the Subaru and Mitsubishi.

• The inclusion of a professional hotlap ensures you experience the true maximum performance of the cars, far beyond what is safe or legal on public roads.

• The Ipswich track layout is specifically designed for rally-style driving, featuring a mix of tight hairpins and high-speed sweepers that test your skills in a controlled environment.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Early morning slots are highly recommended to beat the midday Queensland heat and ensure the track surface is cool for optimal tire grip. The dry winter and spring months from May to October offer the most reliable weather conditions, minimizing the chance of track cancellations due to heavy rain. Weekdays generally provide a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer spectators and more personalized attention from the instructors.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Position your spectators near the apex of the tighter corners to capture dramatic shots of the cars kicking up dust and leaning into the turns.

• Avoid using flash photography near the track, as it can distract drivers and is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.

• Capture the vibrant liveries and rugged details of the rally cars in the pit lane before they head out, where the lighting is even and the vehicles are stationary.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Australian motorsport culture is highly enthusiastic but deeply respectful of safety protocols, so always listen carefully to the marshals and track officials. Tipping is not expected in Australia, but a verbal thank you to your instructor and the pit crew goes a long way in showing appreciation for their expertise. Keep the camaraderie friendly in the paddock, as sharing track tips and cheering on fellow drivers is a big part of the local racing community vibe.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Book during the Australian summer holiday period from December to January for a festive, high-energy atmosphere, though expect larger crowds and earlier sell-outs.

• Look out for special twilight driving sessions occasionally hosted during the cooler months, offering a unique experience of driving the rally track under floodlights.

• Visit around the time of major national motorsport events like the Bathurst 1000 in October, when the track often hosts themed viewing parties and heightened rally enthusiasm.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Always keep both hands on the steering wheel and follow the exact racing line instructed during your briefing to avoid spinning out or hitting the barriers.

• Stay hydrated before your session, as the physical exertion of wrestling a rally car and the adrenaline rush can lead to quick dehydration, especially in warmer months.

• Ensure your helmet and harnesses are securely fastened by the pit crew before the car moves, and never attempt to adjust them while the vehicle is in motion.
