Great gift idea.
I treated my wife to a day at the track and she had great time. She still talks about it now. Highly recommend.
BYO car day was so much fun!
I came along to the track day on 18th August 2024. I was super nervous to begin with, but the information session and support from the instructors throughout the day really assured me. I had the only electric vehicle there. The variation in cars was huge. All the participants were kind and supportive towards eachother. I had a fabulous day! It was definitely worth the cost. There were different groups for track time to align with individuals' experience. The track was not over crowded. I felt safe and supported. I feel more confident in my own driving ability, having a better understanding of my car's ability. Driving home on the freeway felt like I was going 40kms ph though, hahaha. It was a fun day indeed. Commendable event Driver Dynamics!
What you can expect
Have you ever wanted to find out what your car is really capable of? Here's your chance to do it, safely and legally. This track day at Sandown Raceway lets you drive your own vehicle around this famous racing circuit, with no limits, speed cameras or cops to slow you down.
Your experience begins with a briefing on safety, track etiquette and a meet and greet with your driving coaches. Then it's onto the circuit with some familiarisation laps with an instructor at the wheel. Learn the lines, watch the apexes - as it'll be you behind the wheel next! You will be encouraged to drive to the limits of your ability, and your car's.
Drivers are allocated 20 minutes of track time per hour, and coaches are on-hand throughout the day to offer as much advice as you like. For safety's sake, the events are strictly non-competitive and are set up to improve your skills at driving fast on a racing circuit.

Crap weather - mucho fun.
Very professional staff, Sandown is a great facility that is easy to get to. You can, if desired, spend time with driving instructors to assist you with lines, braking points etc. Unfortunately, the weather was garbage, but that certainly didn't stop me from enjoying the day.
