Default What should I do, eastern creek or calder?????
heya all

my girl just got me a ticket for a V8 "supercar" drive. They call it a "V8 race experience", I have the choice of 5 laps of eastern creek or 8 laps at calder.

Both tracks run the restricted layout, calder is almost an oval but with a dogleg, eastern creek seems a bit more interesting.

I think they would both equate to similar distance, but the creek looks more interesting, what do you think?

Reckon they are any where as powerfull as the sepercars, I think not?

Definately Eastern Creek. They cut the track down after turn 2 - but down the straight you can get upto 200+ and sweep around the famous 1st bend at about 170.... Did it a while ago and loved every minute of it - Try to get your confidence after the first lap and listen to what the instructors say - they know and tell you how to go the fastest around the track.

There is a post I put up in here with others talking about Calder etc - Titled "Race a V8" go to page 4.....

Your going to love it!!!!
