I went to HyperDrive with my family, and the drive was fine, if only considering the driving aspect of it. The safety measures; however, were non-existent or poorly enforced at best. We had gone to HyperDrive with the intention of having the younger member of our family participate in a Junior race, but the staff informed us that he could participate in the Senior race. Given that their website also states that the minimum age requirement for the Senior race is 9 years old, we assumed it would be fine for him to participate. The safety video was also quite thorough, though it became clear during the race that it was nearly null and void. During our race in particular, there were 2 main instigators, who were driving recklessly and receiving little to no warnings for it. A notable offence of theirs included purposefully bumping into other racers. One of them hit my younger relative's car while driving past. Another attempted to accelerate into the car in front of them during a slowed driving period after a minor accident. For the second incident, the driver received a warning, but this was the most that the staff did. While this is in part the drivers' fault, I find the staff at HyperDrive guilty as well for failing to enforce their otherwise detailed safety measures, as well as for allowing children(and even adults) to be exposed to a dangerous situation like this. If you are considering visiting HyperDrive, I hope you take into consideration the dangers that I have mentioned in my review. There is the potential for it to be a fun experience, though the safety standards need a lot of improvement.
