V8 Race Car Drive - Barbagallo Perth

Safe, Secure Shopping

Father's Day Special - only available for drives taken 17-20th September 2011.

You drive a V8 Race Car for 8 laps
Most powerful 450hp V8 race cars available to drive in Australia!
Real race car driver/instructors in the car with you
Supercar 6-pot brakes, Carrera Cup slicks, Bilstein suspension and Racing gearbox handles like a real V8 Supercar

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.

You are then strapped in behind the wheel and you're off! 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 8 lap session.

The facility has excellent facilities and great viewing areas. Complimentary tea and coffee will be supplied. Light meals can be purchased on the day through the Barbagello canteen facilities on our track days.

To get the most out of your time at the track, you'll be driving on the short course to make learning the corners, apex and braking points a great deal faster. This means you spend your time concentrating on enjoying driving these powerful beasts, rather than learning the circuit.

Has to be the best thing you could do with your clothes on . I've previously had the privelage of sitting next to Jamie Whincup on a couple of hotlaps around Barbagallo Raceway & thought i was in heaven , but what you guys provided, to be able to DRIVE a V8 supercar , i thought i was Jamie Whincup , absolutely AWESOME (even the local fauna couldnt resist , Steve my instructors car was changed as an excited snake jumped on board , sorted eventually by the pit crew with no harm to anyone)
