V8 Supercar Race Car Driving Experience: All You Need to Know Before You Go

Always dreamed of being a V8 supercar speedster? Time to make your dream a reality with the V8 Supercars Driving Experience, which is now on Klook in NSW, VIC, SA, WA, TAS & NT!

Whether you’re sitting in the passenger seat with a seasoned V8 supercar driver or getting behind the wheel yourself, there’s nothing like the adrenaline rush of speeding down the racetrack. Plus, you can bring your friends and family to cheer you on or challenge your timed laps! 

Before you become a racer for a weekend, here’s everything you need to know about the V8 supercar experience:

You can experience the adrenaline-pumping V8 supercar experience for yourself at the following venues:

Sandown Raceway is located in Springvale, VIC 3171, a 45-minute drive from Melbourne’s Central Business District and Airport, making it convenient for locals and tourists.

On the other hand, Sydney Motorsport Park is located at Brabham Drive and Ferrers Road near Eastern Creek. Similar to Sandown, it’s only a 45-minute drive from Sydney CBD and the airport. 

The Bend Motorsport Park is only an hour’s drive away from Adelaide CBD, and it’s located in 543 Dukes Hwy, Tailem Bend SA 5260. 

Barbagallo Raceway, located at Wattle Ave E, Neerabup WA 603, is only an hour’s drive away at most from Perth CBD, and is surrounded by various racing experiences including motocross. 

Symmons Plains is only 25 minutes away from the centre of Launceston, and its address is 14872 Midland Hwy, Perth TAS 7300.

Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin, NT is only a 17-minute drive from Darwin International Airport. 

With the V8 Supercars Driving experience, you can choose between three options: Qualifier, Slipstream, and Apex. The Qualifier option is excellent for those who don’t have any race car driving experience but still want to live their speedster dreams. You’ll be able to ride shotgun while a pro racer speeds around the track for two heart-pounding Hot Laps. Just sit back and feel the thrill as you let the pros do their thing. 

If you’re confident in your driving ability but still want the guidance of a pro, you can opt for the Slipstream option, where you can personally drive four laps around the track with the help of a seasoned in-car coach from Motorsport Australia. 

The Apex package gives you the best of both worlds; you can drive for four laps and then pass the wheel to the pro driver for two laps. All options include lap counts from pit to pit, as the cars used have electronic lap counters. 

Before you begin your adrenaline-inducing ride, you will be fitted into your race attire and a full-face helmet. You’ll also be given a pre-drive brief to ensure your safety further. Expect the entirety of the V8 supercar experience to last three hours. 

When you’re ready with your suit and helmet strapped on, you can immortalize the experience with a photo op at the professional photo garage. Feel free to let your best mates and your family cheer you on, even if they won’t go for a ride. 

Book your V8 supercar experience without the hassle via Klook, where you can get open-dated tickets valid for three years. That means you can buy tickets for yourself and your friends or send gift vouchers that can be claimed anytime within three years. However, since it is open-dated and you can go whenever you’re available, a no-cancellation policy applies. 

Upon arrival, present your printed or mobile vouchers to enter. You’re allowed to bring non-riding friends and family as your audience, with no additional entrance fees needed. There’s plenty of great spots where they can watch and snap photos unhindered. 

Good news - you can save up on your V8 supercar experience thanks to special discounts and offers on Klook! You can get a 10% discount if you book for one person, 20% when you book for two, and 30% when you book for three! For Sydney, aside from the per pax discounts, you can also get $25 off when you book with your Dine & Discover NSW vouchers!

And since Father’s Day is coming up soon, Klook has an exclusive offer where you can get up to 30% off and get a FREE in-card video usually priced at $60! It’ll definitely be awesome to rewatch and relive your experience! Make sure to grab this Father’s Day offer until the 5th of September, 2021. 

To make your V8 supercar experience a breeze, you should arrive 15 minutes before your schedule. If you can’t avoid running late, you may proceed to the track and allow the team to fit you in the 8 AM or 2 PM sessions. 

Since this is an outdoor activity, it’s highly weather-dependent for your safety. If you’re unsure about the weather, you can call the weather check number at 0412 018 035. If there is a total or partial rainout, your booking will be automatically converted into a gift voucher.
