Fastrack V8RACE Experience Reviews 

Thankyou to Chris for giving me great guidance in my mustang drive Experience best 10 laps I’ve done ready for my 20 lap experience

I purchased for my Dad 4 years ago, we thought it expired they were amazing gave us a call and booked him in... On the day the crew were amazing, especially the pit crew (man with long hair) nothing was too much trouble... Fitted helmet and they were all about safety a well oiled machine... Everyone was so happy after their rides

John Bowe is a super star 🌟

This was my son’s 32nd Birthday present, he was a passenger as he has a disability and cannot drive.
We took Jake to Sandown today, he had his own pit crew to get him in & out of the V8 super car.
Could not keep the smile of his face.
Well worth the money!
A credit to everyone involved at Fastrack Experiences for all their efforts especially with people in wheelchairs.
This is a very accessible event for anyone to take part in.
Everyone that was involved was amazing.
I cannot thank the team enough & of course Jake’s Driver Graham an absolute gem.
Thank you all again for making my sons day one he will never forget.
Well done guys really well done

Received a certificate in 2023 (exp: 2026) could'nt use 2 months later, as was washed out. Was only told when we arrived at Eastern Ck on morning. The Sheila told us to check on their Website. And, that yous have to be a bit tech savy. Their T&C advises that the customer will be notified at 7AM if there's a washout. We received a SMS at 12PM on way home. Was told that we could'nt rebook, because exp date was now 12 months, from purchase. They are happy to take $ and provide no service.

As a driver with a disability, Fast track were fantastic at making the experience as smooth and easy as possible. They were very flexible in how I prepared, got into the car etc and very patient in getting me ready to go.

The coach was great and had a good understanding of how to work with me. He made it a great experience. I might not have been the fastest but improved every lap and felt like I belonged.

I would recommend it to anyone who would like to have a go. Start the way I did by having a chat on the phone about what you might need.

I’ll definitely be coming back!

Contacted Fast track regarding if they were able to accommodate spinal injuries and wheelchair users, we were informed via mouth and via email on multiple occasions that it was completely safe and that they had done disabilities of all kinds... that they would be able to accommodate the needs of my partner..
Upon arrival the experience started off well we were taken to our designated spots and staff at this stage were friendly...my partner was asked if he could weight bare on his legs in which he replied no! again we were told "that's fine we deal with this all the time" the gentleman helping my partner into his suit did not no how to put the suit on him so I helped.. still at this stage was ok.. Then we went to get a photo of my partner next to the V8 car.. which we did. My partner was asked if he would like to get into the vehicle in which he had reservations about and asked on multiple occasions before entering if their was someone to help him out and if it was safe.. we were told they do it all the time and that someone was able to help him out.. at this he got into the vehicle and a photo was taken. Their were at least 50 on lookers at this stage as it was a bit drizzly and they were behind on times due to safety concerns. This is where our issues began.. my partner was not able to safely exit the vehicle.. the staff taking the photos did attend and try to help him out of the vehicle by pulling on his clothing and body and twisting his extremities, at this stage I noticed my partner was getting embarrassed with all the people watching and frustrated he was unable to exit the vehicle. By this Stage staff were now giggle at my partner.. Myself and his daughters intervened and were able to safely get him out of the vehicle not with out injury to muscles and bruises.. we were now quite concerned about how he would be able to go around the tract safely and not to mention he was humiliated due to this incident and all the people watching on.
We asked to speak to the manager of the event to talk about our concerns and how the staff treated him.
The CEO eventually came to see us and was very intimidating his first statement to us was " Hi I'm G#$%... the CEO I heard my staff's side of this story now tell me yours" . We started to explain the situation and were told that's not how his staff experienced it... a long conversation was had in regards to how excatly they would safely get my partner into the vehicle and out of the vehicle in which CEO stated he had some strong guys who would lift my partner into the vechice, we had conversation regarding the safety of this and how his staff laughed at my partner and how this would be handled in the future, CEO G
was not listening and just kept talking over us in an aggressive maner and pointing his finger at me... he also stated to my partner "that he is not trying to speak to him like a disable person" and that he also has a "brain injury" .. we again asked how he would handle this situation and he stated he had "experienced staff that done this all the time", we asked how many people with disabilities they had done and the experience they have on this field, we were then told we are yelling, and not able to resolve this matter with CEO G, he offered either he personally would take my partner around ( after being so aggressive and difficult to talk to he was not listening at all to our experience and our Side of the story ) he also was not open to suggestions on how to handle this better we were offered our money back and asked to leave the establishment.. in which we calmly left and complied..

Thank you to Fastrack and the legendary JB ( John Bowe).
JB you absolutely made our day so memorable. You are kind, friendly, and informative. As i was growing up in the racing industry, you were always referred to as an absolute great bloke. Now I know why.
On Saturday you were engaged and showed genuine interest, chatting with every person who was about to have the thrill of a lifetime with you as their driver. You also gave your time to the friends and families of those people.
You especially gave our English friend an experience he will never forget.
To Michael, thank you for your easy going, organised and friendly nature. And, for remembering everyone's name ( even when their lanyards were tucked into their race suits).
An excellent, thrilling, and affordable experience. Highly recommended.👌

Sandown 10 drive laps with Roland on the day who was very straight forward and that was what I wanted...no mucking around serious business...not an easy thing to get it right, way easy to get it wrong, thankyou Roland...did my best and I think I am very average lol....
Followed up by 2 Hot Laps with the Legend himself John Bowe...this was in itself just of the charts...such a super cool dude, and drives like the champion he is. Thank you John Bowe you are a legend. And if you get the chance...DON'T WAIT do it.....spoke briefly with Greg Evans (one of the owners) 20 years and going strong.
Staff were all helpful and couteous on a scorcher of a Sunday in the high 30's...certainly coming back to do it again..next time at Bathurst, cheers Kenneth G Bell.

I am a returning customer, having driven at SMP four times and Mt Panorama once. I have previously hit 210kph down the straight at SMP and clipped the apex at Turn 1 doing 175kph. My driver coach today was far too conservative. I was reprimanded by him, after one lap, for apparently driving too quickly. After watching the USB recording of my drive today, my average top speed down the straight was 180kph and my Turn 1 apex speed was 135kph - significantly slower than previous drives. I was instructed by my coach to perform slow gear changes and was frequently put on the wrong racing line in the turns on the middle third of the circuit. I was instructed to use the brakes far too early and the vehicle spent too much time coasting through corners. I am not claiming to be a racing driver but considering I have been coached by drivers such as Nathan Herne, I believe I have some idea of the vehicle capabilities. My coach from last year, Troy, had me driving significantly faster than what I experienced today. Driving the Fastrack cars is an expensive exercise and I would never place my life, or that of my coach, in danger. I have had very positive experiences during previous drives but what I endured today was substandard.

I would like to thank fastrack racing for an awesome experience around Bathurst ,Matt driving the Nulon commodore gave me 2 laps that I will never forget,that man has big balls😂.Can’t wait until Bathurst ride day next year .

Excellent experience….Thank you to the fast track team.Very professionally run day,
Many thanks Julian

The worst experience, the driver was rude and confusing. He told me I don’t need to change gears and leave in 4th the whole race. I got a manual so I could get the manual experience. If I wanted to drive auto I would have picked auto. I wasn’t even allowed to change gears off the line.

I had a brother on the day that completed the same package and was allowed to shift and all up a better experience.

He advised I would not need to touch the brake as he has a brake and then yelled at me when I didn’t brake.

I felt I got treated worse as I only paid for 4 laps. The whole experience cost me a total of $450 for 4 laps, insurance, a balaclava and a low resolution video I had to pay for before I did the race.

I would recommend against this.

The 63 year old instructor applied the brakes first on every corner (usually 150+metres before the brake marker)
He neutralised my corner exit throttle control on every corner exit.
He completely F....D my experience. My best lap was 17 seconds slower than my previous experience, and my corner entry speeds were between 30% and 40% slower (same for exit speeds)
I should be given a complimentary future experience.
IT WAS JUST HOPELESS!!!

Sandown Raceway Absolute Best Day Ever
I was given Red Balloon Gift vouchers for my birthday so I decided to use them to drive a Race Car. So I purchased myself & my wife 6 Laps we drive with 2 Hot Laps to which I purchased an extra 2 laps on the day. I have to say from the time we arrive Fastrack staff were amazing, from check in to finish their service was second to none. My Mum has a bad knee and couldn't walk over to where we raced so they drove her over there and took her back again, got her an extra comfortable chair and made sure she was all good. They just made sure all the way through we were getting the best experience. Great company, well organised and ever single staff member was so friendly and helpful like they all love their jobs, rare to see these days. Thanks to everybody at Fastrack Awesome day. We will be back to do it again.

Did a 10 lap drive at Eastern Creek today, with my mate Peter. Had Troy as my driver coach, who did a great job. Taught me to hang on the gas just that little bit longer when diving into the corners. Had a great time but still managed to make a mess of Turn 2. Maybe I'll get it right next year.

I did a 10 lap drive at Eastern Creek last Saturday. My driver coach was a young lady and I believe her name was Jane. She was absolutely outstanding in teaching me where to place the car on the track and how to flow it through the corners. Her level of instruction was excellent. It is the quickest I have driven a car with Fastrack and I thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Race day at Barbagallo race way 26th November, the actual drive experience was something to remember, and the support staff and unstructured were very efficient and professional.

The very disappointing outcome, was I paid $60 for the video recordings, one recording of me driving and the the other of myself as a passenger. I only received one recording as a passenger and only half my face showing, the video quality is not HD as advertised, it is very poor quality (720 X 576).
No recording of myself driving, to show my friend and family. Very unsatisfied.

Great experience overall but they've got some room to improve.

I enjoyed this experience in Nov '21 at Wanneroo Raceway (Barbagallo) in Perth.

Firstly, they were not V8 supercars. They were however tuned extremely well and I wasn't left wanting for more power, grip or handling at any point. This was more important to me as it made the experience way more fun. The car drove extremely well and the grip and brakes on it was unreal.

The people throughout the experience were good, well trained and efficient. It took no longer than 1.5 hrs and I was lucky enough to be one of the first in. My instructor was mostly good and got me to go faster each lap, though I was disappointed with some of the instructions being given (either too late or unclear) and thought they could be included in the safety video rather than as you are going around the track. (Note that, if you know the track you would not have the same frustration.) But overall, considering he didn't know me or my driving capabilities I thought he did a great job.

I opted for the $60 video option and was impressed with how the system worked (they just plug your usb into the car, it records, then they give it back to you after you are done. No editing or waiting). However, it's 2021! The video was not even HD and looked like something from last century. With that kind of resolution they should be throwing it in for free!

That takes me to my next point. It's a fairly expensive experience to start with but when you register on the day, they throw a whole bunch of overpriced add-ons at you (video, damage waiver, extra laps, etc etc). It's such a poor business tactic that leaves you feeling like they are trying to rip you off. If there is one plus side to this, they don't push after you've said no.

The Fastrack V8 Race Experience drive was fantastic and the staff were all professional and helpful.
But I would like to call out Craig Scutella my driving coach in the car with me who was just awesome, making a very good experience just amazing!
