Main description

Your V8 race car drive day begins as you register at our reception prior to your pre-drive tuition. This will prepare you for driving a race-prepared V8 race car, with information on handling the car, cornering, braking and the track map. You are then ushered to the pit lane and fitted with your own race suit and helmet.

Prior to your drive, you'll be asked whether you would prefer an automatic or manual Ford or Holden to drive! You are then strapped in behind the wheel, introduced to your personal in-car coach and off you go for the V8 racing drive of a lifetime! Through an intercom system built into the helmets, your in-car coach will encourage you through your drive with advice on gear changes and brake points so that you can drive fast and safely. While not a race, there are no limits on speed and overtaking is common during this thrilling V8 race car driving experience!

You can choose to purchase a Super Photo Souvenir and In-Car digital video recording with telemetry on a USB stick on the day for $49 each.

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

    The driver instructors were great, and I received two extra laps after my first car had mechanical issues and we needed to pit early.

    The organisation on the day was excellent, well controlled and communicated by the staff. The drive itself was awesome, if not a bit too short!! Should've bought more laps!!

    As an older customer I enjoyed the experience greatly. I was impressed with the professional manner in which the whole experience was carried out. All staff were very polite and helpful. I was particularly impressed by my instructor Steve who did a great job and helped me to enjoy the experience. At 65 my reflexes are a little slower than they used to be but Steve's coaching helped me to enjoy the experience.

    I am disappointed. bitterly disappointed........there are not enough laps!!!! Really, it was bloody awesome! Plan on doing it again. And the coach was good - got me driving real smooth and going through corners faster than I ever though possible. Took me about 4 hrs for the adrenalin rush to subside.

    We had a great time every one was nice and made the day perfect . I will be going back ,the only negative was that I didn't want to stop and wanted to drive all day. I think every one should do this.
