Speed Thrills at Race Day Events: A Supercar Driving Experience in Joburg

If you’ve ever dreamed of feeling the g-force of supercar speed, Race Day Events delivers all this and more. This exhilarating supercar driving experience in Johannesburg puts you behind the wheel of supercars, race cars or lets you ride shotgun in the most iconic machines on earth. This experience is crafted for both the adrenaline junkies and those who simply want to say they’ve driven a Ferrari or Audi R8. Whether as a gift, a bucket-list moment, or a team-building adventure, these events redefine what it means to have a “race day” in Joburg.

What to expect at Race Day Events

Race Day Events hosts some of South Africa’s premier supercar driving and track adventure experiences. It’s not just about fast cars — it’s about turning speed and power into memories.

Imagine driving the Ferrari 360 Spider, Lamborghini Gallardo Spider, Porsche 911 Turbo or the Audi R8 V10 on real tracks designed for performance. For those who like competition, there’s the “Drive The Rivals” option to put two supercars head-to-head.

Corporate groups, friends, or individuals can customise packages, enjoy passenger laps, or just soak up the luxury, speed, and precision of high-end machines. Safety is of course key, and all drivers need a valid South African driver’s licence. Every experience starts with tuition and safety briefings.

Here are the ride or drive experiences on offer

Drive your dream supercar

Race Day Events gives you the chance to actually drive if you’re after the full throttle. Whether it’s a Ferrari 360 Spider, a roaring Lamborghini Gallardo, or pushing limits with a Porsche 911 Turbo, there are packages for various experience levels. Each drive includes track tuition, safety briefing, and laps where you explore acceleration, handling, and pure automotive performance.

Race car drive

For those who want something even more intense, the race car drive gives access to racing machines rather than road-based supercars. These offers tend to have shorter lap times (10km drives are common), but come with full track immersion — every bend, corner, and straight put to the test. You’ll get instruction, possibly passenger laps, and the opportunity to feel what real performance engineering delivers.

Passenger and simulator options

Not everyone wants to drive — if you’d prefer to ride shotgun or just feel the rush as a passenger, there are passenger laps in high-speed cars. Those waiting or not driving can also take on race simulators, keeping the adrenaline up in a different way. Perfect for groups where not everyone drives, or for those new to race day events who want a taste of the experience without the licence requirements.
