V8 Supercar Experience

V8 Driving Experiences in Australia

What is the best Supercar driving experience?

The inveterate speed demon can choose from an array of V8 hot lap experiences, which see your high-horsepower machine hurtle multiple loops around the racetrack in a timed run. The number of laps you get is between three and ten, depending on which package you choose. Hop behind the wheel for the entire hair-raising experience, or jump into the passenger seat and let a professional race car driver show you how it’s done. Better yet, choose a combination of the two. For example, the V8 Drive and Hot Laps (Front Seat Exclusive) Eight-Lap Combo at Sandown Raceway (Melbourne) allows you to take the wheel for four hot laps and be driven by an expert for four laps in the most powerful 450Hp V8 ever made. 

Other popular car racing experiences include Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lotus drive combos, off-road V8 buggy racing, and drifting. 

Two of the awe-inspiring V8 Supercars offered by Adrenaline include the V8 race-prepared Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon. These two beasts look the part with V8 Supercar wheels, slicks, racing suspension and brakes. Get ready to experience serious G-Forces as you careen around corners and hit adrenaline-pumping top speeds of over 200 km/h.

These unforgettable V8 race experiences make the perfect present for any rev head or racing enthusiast. Adrenaline offers a range of gift vouchers redeemable for over 2,500 experiences, including V8 Supercar racing. All vouchers have a five-year validity.

Can you drive a Supercar?

You can experience the thrill of hopping behind the wheel of a V8 Supercar and feel like a racing champion for a day.

These elite customised machines feature Supercar six-pot brakes, racing slicks, Bilstein suspension and racing gearbox handles, just like a bonafide V8 Supercar. 

The V8 Race Car Ride (Front Seat) at Motorsport Park in Eastern Creek (Sydney) is the number one V8 experience in Australia. Experience G-force excitement of three of the hottest laps on record inside a six-speed V8 Commodore. Be prepared to hit speeds of up to 200km/h, with high-impact cornering and braking manoeuvres on a challenging circuit.

In Brisbane, the V8 Race Car Drive Five Laps Holden or Ford (Front Seat) package at Queensland Raceway is the number one V8 Adrenaline driving experience in the Sunshine State.

This Adrenaline package offers five passenger or driver laps of a race-ready Ford or Holden V8 Supercar. Whether you’re sitting behind the wheel or in the passenger seat, the thrill and power you will feel are second to none. You’ll not only experience the sensation of a lifetime but also get a certificate and photos to prove your bravado. What’s more, spectators will have a grand time watching from the grandstands. Bring your family and friends along to make a memorable day out of this super-powered V8 experience.

What's it really like to drive a V8 Supercar? 

Racing drivers with a passion for hot-lap action will never forget the feeling of driving an adrenaline-charged V8 Supercar. With rip-roaring speed, superb acceleration and precision control, these custom racing machines are not for the everyday driver, nor the fainthearted.

Nothing shakes the body nor stirs the soul like the roar of a V8 in a hot-lap session ensconced inside a six-speed V8 Commodore or Monaro. The noise, speed, braking action and cornering grip can only be fully appreciated inside one of these customised racing cars.

Just when it feels like you’ve peaked at your Mark Skaife performance-driving best, a trained racing instructor will take control of the wheel for the remaining hot laps of your V8 driving package–then you’ll see how the professionals do it.

This unforgettable experience puts the concept of speed into a whole new dimension and highlights the full-throttle capabilities of these incomparable V8 Supercars.

Do you need a driver's license for a V8 driving experience?

A valid driver’s license is required to get behind the wheel of a V8 Supercar on a racetrack and live your own hot-lap action first-hand. Some experiences allow P-platers and even learner license holders with a minimum of 50 hours in a logbook. 

Adrenaline provides expert training at a safety briefing and pro instructors while you race to help you get the most out of these beastly V8 machines. Drivers wear safety gear, such as a racing suit and helmet, and receive real-time tuition from a trained instructor (often a current or ex-professional V8 driver) either in the passenger seat or via radio intercom. 

How old do you have to be to drive a V8 Supercar?

Most V8 Supercar experiences require you to be 18 years old to hop behind the wheel. You can, however, do a hot lap experience as long as you are over 135cm and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 

The thrill of hooning around a racetrack at breakneck speed is universal, and this hair-raising experience appeals to people of all ages, male or female.
