Experience an exhilarating driving event where you get to drive a V8 race car on a high-speed Clubman circuit configuration at QLD Raceway. For 8 amazing laps, you’ll be coached through the course to improve your lap times and experience life as a V8 race driver in your choice of Holden or Ford!
Your V8 drive day begins as you register at reception before heading down to see pit lane. At this point, you can also choose to purchase an in-car video / DVD prior to your drive to record every memorable in-car V8 driving moment (additional cost payable directly to the supplier on the day). Feel free to watch the action on the circuit before being called to the driver’s briefing.
The driver’s briefing ís delivered in an air-conditioned room by an experienced V8 race driver who knows the race track intimately. The briefing will prepare you for driving one of our race prepared Holden or Ford V8 race cars.
After the briefing, we head to pit lane, where you’ll be fitted with a race suit and helmet. After you’re completely kitted up in the race gear, you’ll have your photo taken with one of the V8’s prior to your drive. At this point you can also choose a Holden or Ford – a very easy choice for most motoring enthusiasts!
When it’s your turn to be the driver, we’ll strap you behind the wheel of the V8, introduce you to your personal in-car coach and before long you’ll be burning rubber out of pit lane for the drive of a lifetime!
Your coach will show you the fastest way around the track, showing you how to drive the best you possibly can and helping you to improve lap times and cornering techniques. You’ll be treated to 8 self-drive laps around the circuit and we guarantee the thrill of the race will certainly be in your veins! After completing your 8 laps, you can collect your laminated photo certificate to prove that you really were a V8 race car driver!
A DVD of your drive is available for an additional $45, payable directly to the supplier.
This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

Totally awesome
-
Had a GREAT experience with V8 Race Car 8 laps. Would definitely go again. The driving coach, Paul, was fantastic. he must have been pretty bored worth my first lap but he was very patient and excellent in helping me get the best out of the car (and myself). By the last few laps i was doing really well. Thanks V8 Team - really appreciated.
-
A big tick for the "bucket list". A great experience. One I will always remember. Now I have a "bucket list" and the first is already ticked. The V8 experience brought out skills in driving I thought I had and showed me skills I didn't but had a chance to improve them.
-
just a sensational experience,,,,,,,,wahoooooooo !!!!!!
-
Track layout was poor.The Experience fantastic.
-
Had a blast - it was great to drive fast without fear of a sppeding ticket! Had to wait in the hot sun too long - kept getting turned away from the suit up area. They hadn't realise (and didn't ask) that I had already done the briefing. Got home & the DVD didn't work, but apparently that's fixable. Hope so, because I want to share the experience with family members who couldn't come.
-
Had a great time - a better idea of the procedures would make it better. Was turned away twice from the suit up area because the guy said they weren't suiting up yet. Overherard him say to someone else he needed to have the breifing first - I'd already done that, so stood around in hot sun unnecessarily for 40 mins... Apart from that, drive was great, instructor great too.
-
GREAT EXPERIENCE- DEFINITELY WILL DO AGAIN
-
My two sons & I had an awesome experience!!! Already planning our next drive. Although I will listen to the briefing more closely next time. Ha ha!
-
We had a memorable experience on sunday. Very well organized and safety orientated. The instructor I had was very informative and experienced . My son had a 5 lap experience on the same day and he enjoyed himself no end. We are very pleased to recomend it to anyone. Thank you very much
-
Great day only complaint is how fast 8 laps can go, fun times would love to do it again
-
Absolutely the best thing I've ever done. Getting the dvd lets me relive my experience with friends
-
Extremely well organized!!! Absolutely Awesome experience!!! Will highly recommend this one! Thanks
-

-

-
Awesome experience...
-
A great experience.. never enough laps as you get hooked into the exhilaration of it all...
-
Just magic
-
The V8 Race Car Drive experience was awesome. I'd never driven on a race track before other than go kart hire, and although I was very nervous, the instructors made it so easy for me to brake hard, hit the apexes and feel like a pro. Loved it and would do it again.
-
Absolutely fantastic, amazingly well organized and one of the best experience I have ever had!! I am very glad I took the advice from one of your previous customers to go with eight laps and not five...those last three are when you start to relax and have the most fun. A must do for anyone, not just the petrol heads!
-
Awesome drive. Driving these cars makes you acutely aware of the braking and handling limitations of even the best of production cars.
-
This was a 40th Gift for my husband. He totally loved the experience. He completed the 8 laps and his first comment was he wanted to keep going for the entire day.
-
Was an awesome day.. great experience.. Drivers could drive a lap to 'show you how its done..!!' Staff had excellent customer service, very helpful..
-
It was excellent. Unfortunately it just went by so quickly (should have driven slower!). I would suggest that they print your fastest lap and top speed and provide it to you. It would have been good to have a record of it, as I've forgotten now.
-
One of my best times ever.
-
Fantastic day :) All staff were professional and enthusiastic which enabled me to really enjoy it and get the most out of the experience. Jay (my instructor) was brilliant and I learned a lot. Well done everyone!
