You will enjoy it!
I was lucky enough to work with the V8 race guys as they did some testing for us, they are a good bunch of guys and the experience is worth it, nothing like taking turn 1 at eastern creek at 180 kph and braking deep into turn 2. Just listen to the instructors and you will be right and unable to wipe the smile from your face. :evil3:

You will sure enjoy the Experience of beening on a race track.
Personally I was expecting alot more. Cars were just a hotted up XR8/Gt with a roll cage, No brembo Brakes. witches hats are placed around corners, except for turn one which really spioled alot of the cornering fun on the track. Good for someone who has never driven around a race track, or someone who has never owned a V8 or owned a fast car.

Gotta say, I too was expecting more. It was great fun but the cars are speed limited. Mind you turn one is fantastic.
You come down the main straight as fast as you can, then take your foot off the accelerator to let the front of the car settle down and then bang it through as hard as you want. fantastic - however I could never nail turn two. Double apex and very technical . My instructor must thought I was a moron because I never got it right. |
