Do some hot laps in a V8 Supercar.... with you at the wheel!!!

$299 for 5 laps around Eastern Creek at the wheel of a V8 sounds pretty tempting.

Has anyone done this yet?

They are not v8 supercars, but stock XR8's and SS's with roll cages and harnesses.

If you have never been on the track before and driven fast, then you would have a blast, but if you have been on a track in your T, then it's a bit of a

Bugger!!! That is a bit of a let down.

So they are just stripped out XR8's then, with the body kit to make them look the part.

We have a similar venue in Perth, conducted by MC Motorsport Performance Driving, V8 Super Rides. Basically, a stripped out SS with a cage and

My brother did this and he said the only good thing is that you can thrash the crap through someone else's car without being to worried about breaking stuff mechanically.

But they were cool bout it and let me get in another car and do a few more laps.

I agree its definitly not the quickest thing I've been in but the whole track experiance was great

There was one of those drive a supercar companies being flogged over the PA at Sandown this year. Can't remember the name of the company but they apparently had a genuine ex Glen Seton super car so there are some companies out there that do offer the real thing.

Just do it you'll love it!!!

If you're lucky enough, you may get Rod Dawson there taking you around the track. That alone would be worth the $$$

Brett Youlden uncle of Luke has a ex Glenn Seton V8 supercar that has been changed to a 3 seater. In april I had a chance to go in it with John Bowe driving it at Wakefield Park. This was all organised by my FPV dealer.

I am doing it on Friday at Willowbank it is a birthday present. Here is a blurb on the cars.

These Tickford XR8s have Hi-Performance ECUs and are race prepared with roll cages, safety harness, race seats and slick tyres. You will be supplied with a race suit and helmet.
