Drive a V8 supercar
  • You drive a V8 Race Car for 12 laps AND ride for 3 laps
  • 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

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 Perth's V8 race track, Barbagallo Raceway. 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 twelve laps behind the wheel of their V8 Commodore & Monaro. 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.

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!

I will consider doing this again as it was so much fun. Any rev head needs to do this?

My instructor (Ben) was excellent but there was a lot to remember. When I returned home and went through Ben's instructions in my mind I was about three seconds a lap quicker !

I thoroughly recommend Adrenalin. Everything ran so smoothly and was so simple to organize. My dad said it was one of the best times he's ever had in his life.
