My Cup of Tea

The Mitsibishi Mirage Cup Cars started racing in Japan as a one make series and for the past few years have been raced in Nurburgring, Malaysia, Dubai and Australia. These cars are lapping Oran Park only 5 seconds slower than the V8 Supercars! Until now, rides in these compact missiles have been reserved for corporate sponsors, competition winners or race car crew only. Each session starts with a briefing in the pit lane, introducing the technical specifications of the Mirage Cup Race Car and explaining the safety aspects pertaining to the ride and how the day will run. Before your ride, you get to try on the custom race overalls and helmets for size. Once you're suited up ready for your hot laps, you will be photographed with the car. With your photo session finished, the engine is fired up. The Mirage Cup car is powered by a MIVEC 1600cc 130kw engine that will rev to 8200 rpm and are capable of topping 200kph. You will be surprised at the speed and manoeuvrability of these Mirages, and once on the track, you will get to experience first hand just what it takes to drive a race car.
