V8 Super Challenge - Eastern Creek, Sydney
|
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.
