Get 'Real' V8 Supercar Hotlaps for just $220

Hi All

On the weekend I was among a priviledged few that were given the opportunity of a pit tour with a V8 Supercar team at Qld Raceway. These guys are real battlers in the Fujitsu series and can do with all the help they can get. They run on a quarter of the budget the front running teams have.

We were given a private tour of their facilities and shown all aspects of the race cars' preparation. I even got to sit in the drivers seat. They're a great bunch of guys (mostly volunteers) flying the Ford flag on a very limited budget.

To try and offset some of the costs of running the team they offer Hot Laps in their V8 Supercar. This is their actual race car, not some painted up promo car with a roll cage and loud exhaust, this is the real deal.

For just $220 you can get the experience of a lifetime.

There are still spots available for the next event at Morgan Park Raceway in Warwick Qld this weekend on Sat 28th July.

For those that are keen to experience the thrill of a thundering 600+hp V8 Supercar at full noise on a magic track should contact the team owner shane@shanebeikoffracing.com.au for more details. You'll be glad you did.

Not quite, they make a small amount of money by offering hotlaps in their car to help offset expenses incurred in going racing. They need all the financial help they can get, so if we take up their offer of hotlaps, we will be contributing to their future success.

I'm not sure which other tracks they offer this at as they only mentioned Qld.

Just drop them an email and ask.
