Get ready to drive! It's now possible for you to drive a fully race prepared V8 on Sydney’s home of V8 supercars Eastern Creek International Raceway...this experience will bring you extremely close to what most people only dream of...

Our Race Experience program will give you the opportunity of a lifetime, one you will retell at BBQ’s for years to come.

You'll be driving either a late model Ford Falcon BA XR8 or Holden Commodore, both race-converted from new by V8 Supercar team owners and car builders, Peters Motorsport.

All race cars are prepared with roll cages, safety harness, race seats and slick tyres. Our cars have been completely race modified to maximise performance and safety and are not governed in Revs or Speed. You will also be supplied with a full race suit and helmet.

The experience begins with a 30 minute briefing including how to approach the track, the lines and apexes to follow as well as what to expect when driving an actual race car.

When you hit the track, you will be accompanied by a professional trainer who can advise you on advanced driving techniques to ensure that you gain the most from your experience. Then its time to put the pedal to the metal & experience what is usually reserved for professional race car drivers.
