    Default Adrenalin v8 experience

    I did a v8 super car experience a month ago, just want to share my views on this.

    The drive was done at calder park and I had 6 laps to thrash a 2nd league v8 race car, car had 450 horsies.

    They take you on 3 laps after your 8 laps.

    I would recommend anyone that enjoys going as fast as I do in a v8 should take up this experience, they teach you about apex and throttling out of corners on a race course, being quite a small race course the 8 laps go quite fast, I paid just over 400 for this and don't regret a second of it, then they take you for 3 laps of awesome fast laps, personally I was looking at his feet wanting to feel more power, however the experience gave me a good experience of how fast it feels on a race course and a general respect for race car drivers.

    My top speed down the straight would have been an easy 220 kms an hr, but feels slow being such a wide track, and over taking other drivers felt so good, gave a good race feel.

    Consider this a thread to share your race experiences, would love to hear about it

    Regards

    Are the cars autos or manuals? I really want to do one up here in QLD but I only have an auto license, not that I am bad enough to destroy a racing clutch.

    EDIT: Also probably better in the Pub section.

    Yea the ones we had were manuals, surprising enough they are quite easy to drive.

    good to hear someone had a good experience! all i've heard so far from there has been along the lines of...

    "It was shit - the car was slow and they yell at you when you thrash it"

    might re-consider

    Yeah, suppose it all depends on what company you go with and who your driver is.
