If you have always wanted the challenge of driving a real V8 VX 6-speed manual Commodore around a real V8 race track then this is just for you!
Nothing shakes the body like the roar of a V8 race car, and nothing stirs the soul more than a session of hot laps in a V8 six-speed Commodore around the circuit legendary V8 race track, Calder Park.
The Calder Park V8 drive day begins with a briefing conducted by experienced race drivers. During practical observation laps of the circuit, your driver will demonstrate techniques on cornering, apexes and exiting, efficient braking and acceleration, steering, gear changes and general car control. Safety and track awareness will also be discussed. There's plenty of time to ask questions so you'll feel completely comfortable before putting V8 race car theory into practice.
Then it's time to let loose your inner revhead during a session of real life Calder Park V8 driving action. Each driver then does twelve laps behind the wheel of their V8 Commodore around the short circuit at Calder Park Raceway. Then, just when you reckon you can drive a V8 like Mark Skaife, your experienced race driver will take control again for two more seriously quick V8 hot laps that you're not likely to forget for a very long time.
