The experience

You arrive at Promenada Mall at your booked time and spend the first 30 minutes getting oriented: the team walks you through safety, helps you get comfortable in the mini hot rod, and takes photos before you drive. Then you follow your guide in convoy for a full hour through Bucharest, passing the Palace of Parliament and driving along Victoria Road. The guide leads the route and stays in radio contact. You handle the steering and the pedals the whole way.

Helmets are included, and driving instructions are delivered in English. The experience wraps up back at Promenada Mall after the 60-minute drive, so the whole thing (welcome, training, driving and return) fits into 90 minutes. You'll need a valid driving licence for cars and comfortable shoes (no heels or slippers). The cars are built for drivers of moderate build, so check the size limits before booking if you're taller than 200 cm or over 115 kg.
