Spend a day at the race track with V8 Supercar legend, John Bowe and be driven at speed by one of Australia’s most admired race drivers. John is one of only five drivers with over 200 starts in V8 Touring cars and V8 Supercars and, as a three time Bathurst 1000 winner, "JB" is regarded as one of the genuine good guys of the sport.
John will drive you at top speed around the track for 3 adrenaline fuelled laps, but not before you’ve spun 7 laps yourself. What a great way to find out just how much skill and sheer nerve is required in this sport!
Learn from and drive with the master in an experience that will take you as close as it gets to racing a V8 for real in a genuine race environment.
This awesome experience is held at Sandown Raceway, and includes 7 Laps behind the wheel of a V8 race car and 3 ride laps with John Bowe. You'll also receive in-car DVD footage of your drive experience, a framed souvenir photo set, jacket and cap as well as an exclusive luncheon with the racing legend himself.
