Default Anyone done the V8 track days at Norwell Park on the gold coast ?

Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm taking the family up to the gold coast soon, and was looking at this....

But I can't find anything about it, ie; track setup / length and car specs.
Anyone been ?

Thanks !

While you're in the area you can do the skidpan at the Holden test centre, the Tiger Moth joy flights, the Subaru dirt track.

I was given laps there as a birthday present by my well meaning wife. If you haven't driven a quick car or if you haven't done track work on slicks you will find it entertaining.

As I drive an F6 and I use slicks on track days I found it a bit of a bore. When the instructor asked how I liked it, I told him it didn't have any grunt (Commodore). He then asked what my road car was and when I told him he just said ..."right!"
