White knuckle riding

THERE have been a lot of new and exciting entertainment improvements to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit lately.
Karting at the circuit has blasted through the rev limiter with 27 all new French-made SODI RT8 karts.
“These are no ordinary karts. SODI are the Ferrari of the karting world, and we went with them to ensure our fans enjoyed the best karting experience possible,” said managing director Fergus Cameron.
“In addition to the single karts, we have just taken delivery of nine Tandem Karts.
These new matching tandem karts are equipped with duel controls so the kids don’t miss out.”
After a complete renovation the History of Motorsport display showcases the dawn of motorsport on Phillip Island commencing with the first Australian grand prix in 1928 through to present day racing.
The display has many interesting articles, images and racing vehicles.
The GP slot cars were also redeveloped and now provide the best fun for all ages.
Visitors can race their family or mates and experience the fun on Australia’s largest four-lane GP Slot Car Track.
Racers can test their skills or challenge their mates to a simulated race on the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
For the adrenaline junkies, how about three heart pumping Hot Laps in a race prepared vehicle.
The resident race car driver will get hearts started started with lift off and road hugging turns that defy gravity as passengers “white knuckle” it.
Super-Fast Hot Laps will be available on 1, 4, 5 and 11 April.
Follow in the footsteps of racing superstars on a daily guided circuit tour featuring a MotoGP sound simulation and access to exclusive and restricted areas.
