You are then ushered to pit lane and fitted with your own race suit and helmet.

Prior to your drive, you'll be asked whether you would prefer an automatic or manual, Ford or Holden to drive! You are then strapped in behind the wheel, introduced to your personal in-car coach and off you go for your drive of a lifetime! Through an intercom system built into the helmets, your in-car coach will encourage you through your drive with advice on gear changes and brake points so that you can drive fast and safely.

    The V8 crew (guys and girls) really put on a professional display and performance for all those that walk through their doors........ and uppermost in their minds are your safety and satisfaction !! I would recommend that anyone and everyone take up this opportunity because even if you only attend the class, you'll leave a better driver than when you arrived. PS You may even meet John Bowe in the flesh !!!

    From the moment I was strapped into the drivers seat and could hear and feel the growl of the engine, I knew I was in for a great ride. After the first lap it was on for young and old. A magnificent driving experience with the opportunity to push the car as fast and as hard as you could and the exhileration of taking corners well over the national speed limit. 20 plus kmph down the straight is a rush. A guiding voice from the instructor helped the experience and assured an amazing experience....

    My instructor Mick was excellent and inspired confidence to extend me beyond my normal driving limits. I think the experience has given me more confidence with my on road driving skills. A great day and very well organised. Everybody should give it a go.
