Drive a V8 supercar
  • 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
  • Convenient weekend dates

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 around the circuit at Melbourne's legendary V8 race track, Calder Park. 

The Calder Park 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 Calder Park V8 driving action. Each driver then does twelve laps behind the wheel of their V8 Commodore around the short circuit at Calder Park Raceway. 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.

The V8 drive was a gift to my husband. He absolutely loved it!! He wanted to go again. The only thing that he would change is that he gets to go a few more laps with the driver. Well done to the team at Fast track, well organised and a smooth operation. He stated that he would recommend this adventure to everyone.

I would just like to thank you for a fantastic day I had on Saturday 5th April. I have been a motorsport fan all my life and to have participated in the Fastrack V8 Super Challenge will stay with me forever, to be in that seat driving such a great car is something everyone should experience!

Although a conservative driver, I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend the experience to all drivers. It was a birthday present which I will never forget.
