Jack's Rides
For three days, Jack Daniels and the McLaren F1 Racing Team will be giving away free supercar rides from the CBD to South Melbourne.
Overview
Forget taking ride shares and public transport this weekend. Instead, zip between the CBD and South Melbourne within a decked-out supercar thanks to Jack Daniels and the McLaren F1 Racing Team.
From Friday, March 22–Sunday, March 24, rev heads (or anyone who just wants a free ride down south) can head to Next Hotel on Little Collins Street to nab some of the available slots. McLaren rides can be booked from 12pm, and it's a first come, first served kind of situation — so be sure to get down a little early if you want to up your chances of getting a lift.
Throughout the day, two supercars will be driving together, and each passenger will get a headset so they can chat with their mate in the other car throughout the drive. It's a rare occasion to be chauffeured in a car this luxe, so make sure to soak it all in while you venture down to the Golden Gate Hotel.
Once you arrive, you'll lift the car doors open and step out to get a free Jack Daniels cocktail. From there, either head to the F1, into the pub or spend the day roaming around South Melbourne at your own leisure. You don't have to be going to the Grand Prix to get this freebie.
Up until 10:00pm each night, there'll also be the option to book a into the CBD – to either Good Heavens rooftop bar or The George on Collins. More JD cocktails will await you at each of these spots, helping with weekend kick-ons.
