What you can expect

Step into the shoes of a rally car driver with the thrilling Hunter Valley XLR8 Rally Car experience! Begin with a quick techniques session led by a professional driver to equip you with the skills and confidence for 8 adrenaline-pumping laps around the Cessnock track. With a qualified co-driver by your side offering guidance throughout, you can push the limits and make the most of every moment behind the wheel.

As the grand finale, swap seats and hold on tight for a heart-racing hot lap with a professional rally driver, showcasing the speed, precision, and excitement of rally racing from the passenger’s perspective. This two hour adventure offers a unique, high-octane alternative to the traditional wine tours the Hunter Valley is famous for. A manual driver’s licence is required for the full experience, but if you don’t have one, the Hot Lap Ride package is a thrilling alternative. Be sure to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes for comfort and safety during this unforgettable rally car adventure!
