OK so I have a decent voucher from Redballoon and I am looking at booking a driving event in QLD, close to Brisbane.
I have done two "V8SC" drives (one at Calder and one at QLD Raceway - Ipswich). While they are good Im after something a bit..more. Ive found a couple but would love to try Lakeside..not having much luck with that, but found a Lotus drive at Norwell. Does anyone have a map of the track? Ive never heard of it before. I can do QLD Raceway again but its a bit plain to be honest. Done a quick google and not finding much. Any help would be great. Thanks.

This is the Norwell Track, there is a link to a circuit map on the page, it's more of a driver training facility than race track I think.

The V8 buggy at Jacobs well was good, I preferred it to the V8 slowcars.

My mate done a Ferrari drive here in Vic.
Basically he was under the impression that it was going to be on the track as it started at one of the race tracks. (unsure which one). But when he got there, they just went on the straight then onto the road. So maybe call them and ask about the track. |

They are short laps but you get more of them for the same price.
It's not one track its a mix of tracks, there some vid on you tube to have a look. |

I did a Lotus one at Willowbank. Was pretty good. Definitely more fun than the V8s. I drive a V8 every day, but had never driven a mid-engined car like the Lotus before!

What about Morgan Park? It's a bit further away but a great track!
