Yeah did the drive and ride day with Fast Track Racing at Eastern Creek a few weeks ago through Adrenaline.
Great experience and well worth the $$. |

Done the V8 drive with Freeman X,
14,000ft skydive,' Hotair ballooning (with wife), Performance driving with Freeman X. All good fun. Would recommend them all. Best value for money: performance driving even if you have to use your own car. |

My brother just had his V8 drive at Barbagello. Said it was awesome. Instructor was Mal Rose.

Have done the rally driving, was great fun. I'd recommend doing a longer session though as it gets better the more you drive. Really enjoyed it because it wasn't something I'd really experienced.

^ this. Loved it. I will say that if you have the option to buy extra laps, DO IT! Because the first few go so quickly and you'll just end up wishing you'd bought them in the first place.

I did 10 laps yesterday at Calder Park. Was a good experience. The brakes are what impressed me the most. I want more laps.

Yeah me & 2 of my boys did Eastern Creek for 10 laps. My instructor was Jessie Dixon & absolutely brilliant. Level of grip on a slick tyre is insane!

Yeap I have done Calder, QR and Morgan Park in a V8.
Did QR in a Radical SR3 aswell and that was pretty awesome but would have preferred a H gate not flappy paddles. Still cool....you need 10 laps min though otherwise its all over by the time you even remotely have a feel for it.
