Feel the excitement and g-force of V8 performance racing with Australia’s premier V8 experience team for 6 laps at Eastern Creek Raceway, a challenging 2.9 km circuit and home to the V8 Supercars and A1 Grand Prix. Driving in an anti-clockwise direction, this track delivers a challenging mix of long straights, tight and tricky corners, rising curves, hills and flats. Be prepared to take it to the max with a no limit drive often reaching 200 kph!

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 6 lap session.

The heated and air-conditioned VIP suite which doubles as reception, with a balcony that overlooks the start/finish line provides the perfect viewing area for spectators on the day. Or get right into the pit, feel the noise and smell the fumes up close and personal. Complimentary tea and coffee will be available at the reception on the day and a canteen will be open on all race days for the purchase of light meals.
