Drive a V8 supercar
  • Includes demo laps, 2 driving sessions AND racing driver hot 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

Nothing shakes the body like the roar of a V8 race car, and nothing stirs the soul more than a session of hot laps in a V8 six-speed Commodore or Monaro around the Grand Prix Circuit of Victoria's legendary race track, Phillip Island.

The Phillip Island V8 drive day begins with a briefing conducted by experienced race drivers. During practical on-track observation laps, your driver will demonstrate techniques on cornering, apexes and exiting, efficient braking and acceleration, steering, gear changes and general car control. Safety and track awareness will also be discussed. There's plenty of time to ask questions so you'll feel completely comfortable before putting V8 race car theory into practice. 

Then it's time to let loose your inner revhead during a session of real life V8 driving action. Each driver does 2 driving sessions, starting with five laps behind the wheel of their V8 Commodore or Monaro around the Grand Prix Circuit of Phillip Island Circuit. Pull over and your instructor will feed back to you, offering personalised hints and tips to make sure you get the most from your drive. Then with your confidence on high, you'll buckle up behind the wheel for a further 7 drive laps in the car.

Just when you reckon you can drive a V8 like Mark Skaife, your experienced race driver will take control again for two more seriously quick V8 hot laps that you're not likely to forget for a very long time!

Highly recommended to any rev head with any experience in racing before. The brakes are just amazing. I don't know how all the instructores don't need to change their pants after each run! Thanks to the whole team for a very well organised day!
