V8 Driving Experiences in Australia


What is the best Supercar driving experience?

The inveterate speed demon can choose from an array of V8 hot lap experiences, which see your high-horsepower machine hurtle multiple loops around the racetrack in a timed run. The number of laps you get is between three and ten, depending on which package you choose. Hop behind the wheel for the entire hair-raising experience, or jump into the passenger seat and let a professional race car driver show you how it’s done. Better yet, choose a combination of the two. For example, the V8 Drive and Hot Laps (Front Seat Exclusive) Eight-Lap Combo at Sandown Raceway (Melbourne) allows you to take the wheel for four hot laps and be driven by an expert for four laps in the most powerful 450Hp V8 ever made.

What's it really like to drive a V8 Supercar? 

Racing drivers with a passion for hot-lap action will never forget the feeling of driving an adrenaline-charged V8 Supercar. With rip-roaring speed, superb acceleration and precision control, these custom racing machines are not for the everyday driver, nor the fainthearted.

Nothing shakes the body nor stirs the soul like the roar of a V8 in a hot-lap session ensconced inside a six-speed V8 Commodore or Monaro. The noise, speed, braking action and cornering grip can only be fully appreciated inside one of these customised racing cars.

Just when it feels like you’ve peaked at your Mark Skaife performance-driving best, a trained racing instructor will take control of the wheel for the remaining hot laps of your V8 driving package–then you’ll see how the professionals do it.

This unforgettable experience puts the concept of speed into a whole new dimension and highlights the full-throttle capabilities of these incomparable V8 Supercars.

 

Do you need a driver's license for a V8 driving experience?

A valid driver’s license is required to get behind the wheel of a V8 Supercar on a racetrack and live your own hot-lap action first-hand. Some experiences allow P-platers and even learner license holders with a minimum of 50 hours in a logbook. 

Adrenaline provides expert training at a safety briefing and pro instructors while you race to help you get the most out of these beastly V8 machines. Drivers wear safety gear, such as a racing suit and helmet, and receive real-time tuition from a trained instructor (often a current or ex-professional V8 driver) either in the passenger seat or via radio intercom. 

 

How old do you have to be to drive a V8 Supercar?

Most V8 Supercar experiences require you to be 18 years old to hop behind the wheel. You can, however, do a hot lap experience as long as you are over 135cm and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 

The thrill of hooning around a racetrack at breakneck speed is universal, and this hair-raising experience appeals to people of all ages, male or female.
