Ever sat at home watching Bathurst and wondered just what it would really be like to tear around a ractrack at over 230 k,/h in a REAL V8 Supercar?? Want to feel the kick of around 600 hp in your back and the most awesome braking and cornering you're ever likely to experience?.. Well here is your chance to feel like a speedway king or queen as you and a friend race around Eastern Creek Raceway for 5 faced action packed laps.
Your Ultimate V8 Supercar Ride for Two starts with a briefing in the pit lane which takes about 30 minutes. You and your friend will be introduced to the crew and technical specifications of the V8 Supercar.
We then explain the safety aspects and get fitted out with your race-suit and helmet. Next we will take photographs of you with your driver and the car and another photo when you're strapped in and ready to go.
Then the engine is fired up and the experience of 600 horsepower of grunt kicks in! The awesome braking and cornering of the V8 Supercar usually comes as big surprise, as there is nothing in normal driving experience that can prepare you for the abilities of a pure-bred race car.
We welcome spectators, so be sure to invite your friends along to share in your excitement.
Lunch is provided and is included in the price for the ride participants. Lunch is a selection of gourmet sandwiches, cakes, drinks and fruit platters. Extra lunches may be pre-booked at a nominal cost.

PARTICIPANTS
MINIMUM / MAXIMUM NUMBERS
This experience is for two people. It will be just you and your driver in the car and up to three other cars on the track. However there may be up to 30 people present at each session.
GUIDELINES
You must be 140 - 195cm in height and under 130kg in weight. People with medical conditions, e.g. heart or back problems, should speak to their doctor before attending. Children under 18 years of age must have the consent of a parent or guardian.
DRESSCODE / WHAT TO BRING
Please wear lightweight non-restrictive clothing and closed-in shoes. A full race suit and helmet will be provided.
OTHER
You will be required to sign an indemnity form before participating in this experience. Souvenir DVD may be purchased on the day. If you wish to purchase a DVD, it helps to let us know when you book. But you CAN decide on the day, as we have multiple cameras fitted to all the V8 racecars.
We run hot laps in all weather conditions. If the track is wet, we use special wet weather tyres that still generate incredible grip. It's only a little bit slower, but it's even more sideways and even more exciting!
V8 Supercars are limited to 7,500 rpm under acceleration (in accordance with the regulations) but on downchanges can reach 9,000 rpm or more!
With a car capable of almost 300km/h, on the Oran Park South circuit, you will hit around 230km/h down the front straight in 6th gear. The cars are running the shortest diff ratio, so acceleration is strong.
Can I have a drive?
We sometimes get asked this, but the answer is always the same. Sorry, no. Firstly, you'll need an international CAMS licence like our professional drivers. Secondly, insurance costs are prohibitive. Thirdly, the risk of damage to you, other members of the public, us, not to mention the car's very expensive drive-train, clutch and engine - is far too great.
