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.

Then it's time to suit up! Put on your professional helmet, hook up for discussion with your in-car instructor. You'll be fitted into your race suit and you'll feel the anticipation rise as other cars zoom by. Prior to your drive, you'll be asked whether you would prefer to drive a Ford or Holden!

You are then strapped in behind the wheel, introduced to your personal in-car coach and off you go for your drive of a lifetime! Through your intercom, your in-car coach will talk you through advanced gear changes and brake points so that you can drive fast and safely.

You will be able to drive this fantastic 2.5km circuit with long straights, thrilling undulations and challenging cornering. There's no limits on speed, so if someone on the track is lagging you're encouraged to boot it right past them.

You can choose to purchase an Speed Stick (In-Car USB Recording) and/or Super Photo Souvenir on the day. These are sold for $49 each.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Could have done another 6 laps Really enjoyed the whole experience, it was organised well, my instructor was really good, didn't see anyone that didn't come out smiling 22 April 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by A most exhilarating experience...worth waiting for!!! I received the 6 laps & 4 back seat rides as my birthday gift from wife and kids in early October 2012 and went along for the drive in November. As soon as I drove up to your main office in the afternoon, and I could hear the sounds of the V8s going already, I got goosebumps from excitement. From there, everything fell into place like clockwork, from the Reception/booking in, the briefing upstairs, the suit, photographs and helmet to the last lap. Staff was almost as excited as I was and I left there with the greatest buzz...bloody fantastic! I plan to do it again relatively soon. I wonder if they'll get me the ticket for Christmas? You have done a top job with this, congratulations. Regards, Gerald H. 29 November 2012
