I'm going to do a V8Race Day at Eastern Creek on tuesday and was just wondering if anyone else has done one before. Any advice?

My husband did 5 laps (in a Ford, of course) at Willowbank last weekend and absolutely loved it!!! He agrees with the advice from Jamie to ‘drive like the instructor tells you’. He’s now in even more awe of V8 drivers and their incredible skills.

HI Stephen,
I have dont it 2 years ago, and let me tell you that it was by far the best experience.
On WED i want you to come back to me on this discussion thread and tell me if you held it pinned between turn 4 & 9, i couldnt till the last lap when i had the confidance.
Blind turns and corners are hard to get confidance on.
Good luck mate.

Did the one at Willowbank a few months ago and absolutely loved it! I wanted to go faster and brake later than i was allowed, but thats totally a good thing coz chances are i would have binned it, and therefore my advice, as all before have said, is listen to the instructor…oh and don’t stall it leaving the pits…that was embarressing.

We will get back to Bathurst Wednesday night so there should be a few pics up Thursday morning. Its a bit naughty but please pray for a dry track! Our little boy, Mason is so excited that daddy will race a “V8 Supa Car” When you ask him who is the best ever V8 Supercar driver - he says Jamie Winup. Were all pretty pumped

Hey Richard don’t worry, I have had a few stalls in the pits as well.
Have fun Stephen, what do you need to know? Throttle is on the right and the clutch is on the left. The brake should be the pedal in the middle!!!!

My brother did one a QR and was worried about that to but he didn’t we saw heaps of people that did though.
