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 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 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 their driving session behind the wheel of a fully race-prepared V8 Commodore or Monaro. Then, just when you reckon you can drive a V8 like Mark Skaife, your experienced race driver will take control again for a session of seriously quick V8 hot laps that you're not likely to forget for a very long time.

loved every bit of my ride . danny done a great job when explaining what we are to do and when to do it . I work in a sawmill in colac with 200 staff, only one day back at work so far but have told about ten workmates what a marvelous way to spend three hours.

The adrenalin adventure is the only way to go, the staff help you get the absolute best out of the day, totally worth it, i told my mates all about it and there all saving up so we can all go together!! Loved it!!!!!
Mr B

Just a fantastic experience. As a 60 year old woman who has lived a very full life, there is not much left that gets the adrenalin really pumping. My drive of the V8 certainly got it flowing on Sunday and I still felt pumped the day after, Can't wait to do it again!
