What to expectWhat to Expect

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.

The atmosphere at Eastern Creek is electric and the sound of V8's a real buzz. The introduction compromised all that I had learned in every advanced driver education whereby I have been a wheel threader all my life. Retraining in a couple of corners to maintain grip of the wheel certainly made my driving crisper and by the end of the laps quicker as the style had sunk in One thing I would enjoy knowing is how quickly we were travelling firstly with me at the wheel and secondly with Ben. My reservations of Ben quickly evaporated as he took the role of tutor - he is obviously a very talented driver without a big head!!! He saw my limitations and quickly worked on them to remedy my driving style. I have always driven on the horizon and scanned continually - Ben now has me looking beyond the horizon particularly on crests wher corners disappear or appear extremely quickly. My braking has also changed a bit where I now feater rather than dab the peddle. Thanks guys it was a real buzz

The gift was for my dad on his birthday. He had a great time at the circuit. I'd say its got to be one of the best gifts I have ever bought. Thanks.
