lol have driven my m8's FPV and this racing beast would shit it out for breaky rofl!
Check out the info from Fastrack the mob that run it:
*Most powerful 450hp V8 race cars available to drive in Australia! * Real race car driver/instructors in the car with you * Supercar 6-pot brakes *Carrera Cup slicks, *Bilstein suspension * Racing gearbox These vehicles handle like a real V8 Supercar !
I lucked out n got the best car there a CV8 Monaro, I'v been in and owned some fast cars but this weapon was at the top easy. The brakes were unbelievable, the handling insane and the engine/gearbox so powerfull and tight! Cant wait to get the R1 up there and motor round that circuit, great track.

boots since when are u a rev head? lol

FPV GT? Why didnt you just get the F6 Typhoon? overall, it takes a couple more bucks and you got a shitload more horsies to fondle under your foot. Anyway...I cant sway your choice now.
Cossie-osko, nice work there mate and you didnt even crash!

The instructor was great, his name is Steve Wright. Yeah he got me to slow down a little only cause i was startn to outbreak myself into turn 2 and miss the apex a little, its a tricky corner. He was very helpful in showing me the smoothest/fastest way round the track, after the first few laps i had it wired and he just sat there and enjoyed the ride lol.
He is a bloody good driver after looking at his bio on fasttrack (the mob that run it)
