Be warned this V8 race car is not for the faint hearted. Experience the most exhilarating drive ever in a V8 with experienced race drivers involved in the motor racing fraternity.

Your day starts off with a briefing conducted by experienced race drivers, who will talk you through racing lines and track driving techniques. Then it's on with your driver's suit and helmet. You'll be strapped into the passenger seat for some observation laps where your driver will demonstrate techniques on cornering, apexes and exiting using the best techniques for braking, acceleration, steering, gear changes and car control. With the microphone in your helmet, you're completely free to ask questions.

Next you'll take to the Club Circuit for 6 laps in a 450bhp V8 Commodore where you get to drive this amazing vehicle. Reach speeds of up to 200kph then return back to home base, for your two hot laps with your instructor at the wheel. After the event, you receive a certificate with photograph, autographed by your instructor as well as an instructional DVD and a cap.

Many of our instructors are big in Motor Racing. A selection of our instructors include names from Marshall Brewer, Steve Owen, David Reynolds, Nathan Pretty, Rowan Harman, Asher Johnson, Nick Percat, Dean Fiore, Stephen White and many more. Although we can't guarantee a specific instructor due to race schedules, you can be assured of the best line up available in Australia.
  • Observation laps as a passenger prior to driving the race car.
  • Drive a V8 Super Challenger race car for 6 laps at over 1.6km per lap
