First was the self-drive (6 laps) with my instructor ("Mayan") in a manual Ford V8 Falcon giving clear guidelines as to what to expect re braking markers, witches hats/cones re: apex of corner/bend. My instructor was very patient and encouraging to do my best and go faster lap after lap, even though I hadn''t driven a manual for over 20 years. I should have paid and driven 4 additional laps, just to be able to get a better handle of the car and circuit. There was a 10 minute briefing prior to heading out on to the circuit with clear instructions as to what is required from drivers. Then my final session was with John Bowe in the Ford Mustang which was exilerating, and JB was entetaining in & out of the car. He was very inviting of having my family & friends spend time with him in the pits. He love chatting to us and sharing moments of the day and motor racing in general. The whole experience made for a perfect day out. I would do it again in a heart beat. The whole team of staff there that day at the V8 Fastrack Experience was profesional, welcoming right through from registration, instructional briefing, fitment of race-suit & helmet, to being strapped into the racing seat.

Al apprehension was gone as soon as I got in the car. The laps got faster and smoother as I tried to push myself. I was told I was a little fond of the throttle, I took that as a complement. The laps with John Bowe showed me how it should have been done. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face all week.

VIP treatment
Arrived early for 9am start. Treated like a VIP. John Bowe was very layback and friendly, had time to talk about motorsport before he put on his helmet. Had not been in a race car for 25 years and the support I got from JB and trainers was fantastic . By the end of my laps I was happy with my car control with my in trainer instructions. Had a great day. Will be doing the v8 drive again.
