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 VX six-speed Commodore around Sydney's V8 race track, Eastern Creek.

The V8 drive day begins with a briefing conducted by experienced race drivers. During practical observation laps of the circuit, 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 then does ten full-pelt laps behind the wheel of their V8 Commodore. Then, just when you reckon you can drive a V8 like Mark Skaife, your experienced race driver will take control again for three more seriously quick V8 hot laps that you're not likely to forget for a very long time. 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.

The V8 Super Challenge is an awesome experience that no V8 loving person - male or female - should miss. Absolutely adrenalin pumping action. Loved it !!!!! S McDonell I fly for a living, and that is pretty exciting, but driving the V8s - WOW! S Anderson I would just like to thank you for a fantastic day I had on Saturday 5th April.
