If your dream is to be strapped into the passenger seat of a real race car and experience the thrill of raw V8 power around the hallowed Mount Panorama Circuit – this is the ride for you.

To be run by V8 driver and renowned Bathurst specialist Nathan Pretty, the Pretty Roar V8 Experience is a Holden Commodore race car specially engineered to cater for passenger rides, fitted with three passenger seats. The Pretty Roar V8 Experience Commodore is powered by a 6.0 litre LS2 V8 engine topped with a PWR Supercharger, the engine producing a V8 Supercar-like 450kW and 650Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0~100km/h in approximately four seconds.

Pretty, winner of the inaugural Bathurst 24 Hour race and third outright in the 2010 Bathurst 12 Hour, said the Pretty Roar V8 Experience gives a ride as close to a V8 Supercar as possible. “It looks good, it’s loud and it goes fast, and fans will be able to feel the full capabilities of a V8 race car – the acceleration, the awesome braking and cornering. This will put a smile on the faces of the people that have been waiting for an opportunity like this. They’ll get a buzz that until now has been limited to too few.”

The Pretty Roar V8 Experience sold out in advance of last year’s Event and with only 48 seats available, you will need to get in fast to secure one. The one and only Ride Session takes place at approx. 1100 hours on Saturday 05 Feb 11. The purchase of the ride costs $400 and includes a Corporate Hospitality Ticket to the 12 Hour Club for the day of the ride. The 12 Hour Club is the place to watch all the action on track while enjoying food and beverages corporate style. Should you wish to bring a guest with you for the day, one (1) additional 12 Hour Club Pass can be purchased for just $150 (standard retail price is $180). The Package includes:

• Hot Lap of Mount Panorama track, along with certificate and commemorative photo
• Entry to the circuit and corporate suite for Sat 05 Feb 11
• Access to the Corporate Car Park
• Lunch, morning tea, afternoon tea and standard beverage package (beer, wine and soft drink)
