- Real race car driver/instructors in the car with you

Your V8 race car drive day begins with a registration, followed by on-track observation laps with an instructor at the wheel covering apexes, braking points and overtaking procedure (though it's not a race, overtaking is common - and very exciting!). Then it's off to the pit lane, where you're fitted out with racing overalls and helmet.Your personal instructor will coach you through the intercom to make sure you go as fast as you can, as safely as you can on the 6 lap session.

6 laps isn't long but its a great feeling, 250kmh down the straight and not a speed camera in sight!! A great feeling and great drivers.

The Adrenalin website service was extremely easy to read and use and staff were very helpful when followed up by phone. Would recommend Adrenalin to others as they provide a great range of activities.
