What you can expect
Feel the adrenaline surge through your body as you put your hands on the wheel, foot on the pedal, and take off around a real race track on this incredible V8 driving experience. You'll feel like a real V8 driver at Queensland's premier V8 venue with 5 blistering laps around the track in a Generation 3 Mustang or Camaro Race Car, which are new to Australia, plus 3 high speed passenger laps driven by a racing driver. You’ll be run through a driver safety and track briefing to get you ready to drive. This will include topics like braking, cornering, apexes, and overtaking, and you'll be introduced to the vehicles and your driving instructors. Many instructors are current or ex-V8 drivers and they’ll be in the car with you and communicating by radio intercom to help you make the most out of your driving experience. Fully prepared, you'll accelerate out of the pits and onto the straight. With no speed limit at Queensland Raceway, test your limits and see how much speed you can handle under the guidance of your coach. With 5 unreal laps around the track, you'll soon realise how easy it is to drive this purpose build racing car. But the fun's not over. Next, you'll be harnessed into the passenger seat to discover what these cars are capable of when a professional racing driver is at the wheel. Remember to invite friends and family along - it's seriously exciting from the sidelines!

DONT BOTHER
If you are buying this for yourself or someone that has driven a manual car once or twice or not at all, do yourself a favour and DON'T BOTHER! I was pretty excited for this, getting it as a birthday present. How I was wrong. The "instructor" I had made no effort whatsoever to explain how to operate the car. After getting strapped in, he just said "alright let's go" like I daily this thing. How do I turn it on? Wtf do I do? When I say there was zero instruction on how to drive I mean ZERO. this guy screamed, swore and abused me and made me feel less and less confident. We pulled over after 2 laps even though I had 5. They put me in the older V8 for the 3 remaining laps with a different instructor who actually knew what he was doing. And was genuinely helpful. You will be told to brake way before the corner so the only real fun is the straight line speed on the straights and that's about it. Next was the 3 hotlaps. Now depending on how you tolerate speed you may enjoy this or you may find it pretty mundane. If you are the type that likes racing games, going fast and wins every time you go to a gokart track, it will leave you thinking, I could of done that (if I was in an automatic car). Super disappointed. Manual licence should be required or at least be willing to teach people that don't know stick.

Best gift ever
I got my Dad this drive and ride for Christmas and he went on Saturday and loved it. He had done the experience years ago but went in a Mustang this time. He has called me twice today raving about it.
