Are you a motorsport enthusiast looking for new, exciting things to do? We can help you tick off those once-in-a-lifetime bucket list adventures with our motor sport experiences.
The Bucket List Genie has teamed up with a variety or circuits and instructors around South Africa to bring you some awesome behind-the-scenes experiences that will feed your need for speed.
All the experiences include a briefing under the guidance of a professional instructor to ensure your safety. After the briefing, you will get to hear the roaring engines and see some amazing cars in action. Depending on the option you choose, you will get to feel the vibration of a powerful engine and possibly get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to drive your dream car.
Get behind the wheel of a real race car on the circuit with a professional race car driver, test the limits of a supercar on the tarmac, or gain driving experience for your new BMW or Mercedes Benz under the guidance of a professional trainer in an advanced driving course. Our Ferrari driving experience is extremely popular, so be sure to book your track day well in advance.
If adrenaline is what you’re after, we have that covered. Choose from a range of exhilarating drifting experiences or high-octane rally driving experiences on the track or in the untamed bushveld. Either enjoy a hot seat experience with an experienced rally driver, or, if you’re brave enough, jump in the driver’s seat to show off your mettle as you zip across the tight corners on unmarked bushveld roads at night while a navigator yells instructions at rapid fire pace…
Our track day experiences are facilitated using real race cars and not ordinary cars with simple modifications. Some of the cars have been used in actual races and rallies. Enjoy actual drifting experiences and racing with professional drivers, or simply learn to handle your dream car perfectly in any road conditions. The choice is yours with the packages in this category!

How to create 'Donuts' is our drifting beginner course dedicated to introduce the most basic drift technique, in that of the donut; going round-round baby, becomes an easy to do controlled skill.
