V8 Drive Day @ Eastern Creek & Pics!!

[Macca23]

Hey all,

Just got back from a fun day out at Eastern Creek! THe miss's got me a drive day in a v8 Race car(What spec's that is Im not sure). So for me that actually dosnt get to drive a 8 much, it was the best! I've never been out on a track at speeds or in a race car either. Excellent experince!
Bit more understanding of what the v8 supercar drivers do.

You could choose Ford or Holden (1 Auto in Holden for those who dont like manuals). My 2 mates went in holdens and both ran off the track, haha! You do get too overtake as well if theres slower cars around! Instructor is with you the whole way guiding you with steering, brakes, and throttle spots. About 15 cars on the track at the one time.

I managed to hit just over 200kms at the end of the straight, the sound was just awsome too! I need to go trade the xr6 in for a 8 now! Also manged to miss 4th at the end of the straight and had to recover in 2nd when i fially found the gears again!

Overall it was was worth doing, $300 was the cost and I got 7 Laps - extra $45 for the dvd of it!

The link - V8Race is the people who organised it. You can do it in other tracks around OZ.


Heres what I was in -
