A great program for speed, excitement and skill! This challenge involves the drivers weaving in and out of markers along a straight stretch of road, a sharp u turn at the end, then a dash for the finish line! The best time wins.

A fun team building exercise where teams have to manoeuvre a Barina through a special course. To add to the fun we attach a concave dish on the bonnet with a ball placed inside, the object of the game is to keep the ball in the dish while doing the course in the quickest possible time!

This challenge is set on the skid pan. With the water turned on, participants must negotiate 3 laps of a tight course without hitting any cones (or time added), then come to a quick stop in the Start/Finish area. The fastest time wins.
