Your Day on the Road:

Begin the morning with breakfast overlooking the tranquil waters of Advancetown Lake before setting off into the winding roads of the Currumbin Valley. One of the highlights of this route is Tomewin Mountain Road, a stretch I've driven countless times while scouting routes for Soul Driving Club, and one I never get tired of thanks to its mix of tight, technical corners and lush forest surroundings. Throughout the day there'll be plenty of opportunities to get to know fellow members, admire each other's cars and share the experience with people who enjoy driving as much as you do.

From there, we'll make our way to the charming village of Tyalgum for a stop at its much-loved local gelato store, before tackling the flowing roads of the Numinbah Valley and climbing the Beechmont Range alongside a convoy of like-minded enthusiasts. The day concludes with a long lunch at Paddock Restaurant, where exceptional food, stunning hinterland views and our unforgettable collection of machinery provide the perfect backdrop to reflect on a day well spent behind the wheel. As the day comes to a close, we will arrange our convoy for a group photoshoot against the inspiring mountain backdrop before saying our goodbyes - leaving with great photos, new friendships and another memorable Sunday behind the wheel.
