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.

I have scuba dived with 25 black tipped sharks around me and have gone face to face with a raggi shark and had a tiger shark swim arms length from me and that did not stir my adrenaline like been behind the wheel of that V8 man that was the best rush out. David and the gang all I can say is wow thank you.

I was given 8 laps but I wish it was 108 as every single turn I learnt somthing new I have been watching V8 supercars/ motorsports for a lot of years and have alot of respect for the drivers and their teams.Even after racing a motorbike for twenty years,this was my first experience in a race car and it has given me a greater appreciation of what the racecars,the drivers and teams must go through. I will definitely be back for more. Thank You
