  • Yes, you may sign up for more than one ride-along, in fact many do in order to experience the various models available for rides.

  • Unfortunately no. Due to the nature of the event, to ensure we stay on schedule, and give rides to everyone who signs up, we cannot guarantee which driver and/or buggy you will receive a ride from. When possible, we will try out best to accommodate you, but we simply can't promise it. We apologize for any inconvenience the may cause you, but assure you that all drivers are professionals, equally talented, and that you will have the utmost fun in any of their buggies. In the event that you are requesting a specific driver, please email the rally director at hyperfestrally@gmail.com.

  • Yes, however we ask that you do so with some hesitation. Please ask the drivers beforehand. As much as you want to relive the excitement of the ride and show your friends later on, if you're too busy focusing on what you are recording, you will most likely end up missing the actual live experience of the ride.

    After all that, if you still want to record your ride, we require that you have your phone or camera tethered with a leash or strap to ensure you don't drop it. Phones and cameras rarely escape the track in the same condition as when they left your hand. Also, selfie sticks are not allowed and we require that you keep your hands in the car at all times and do not block the driver's view while filming.
