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 the Grand Prix Circuit of Victoria's legendary race track, Phillip Island.

The Phillip Island 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 five laps behind the wheel of their V8 Commodore or Monaro around the Grand Prix Circuit of Phillip Island Circuit. Then, just when you reckon you can drive a V8 like Mark Skaife, your experienced race driver will take control again for two more seriously quick V8 hot laps that you're not likely to forget for a very long time.

GREAT DAY WOULD DO IT AGAIN IF SOMEONE PAID FOR IT.

My boys (19 and 20) and I all agreed that it was excellent value for money, and we couldn't fault one aspect of the day. The fantastic staff, lots of smiles and good-natured humour, and the adrenalin rush made it a trip to remember. As a 62 year old Baptist Minister, I am blessed to be able to still live life to the full.

Highly recommended to any rev head with any experience in racing before. The brakes are just amazing. I don't know how all the instructores don't need to change their pants after each run! Thanks to the whole team for a very well organised day!
