THERE have been a lot of new and exciting entertainment improvements to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit lately, so it’s time to revisit and rediscover what’s new.
Now more than ever, it’s a destination for the whole family, with many hours of entertainment and enjoyment on offer.
Karting at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit has blasted through the rev-limiter for both speed and fun, with 27 all new French made SODI RT8 karts.
Managing director Fergus Cameron said these were super fun to drive.
“These are no ordinary karts,” he said.
“Each has a price tag in excess of $8000.
“SODI are the Ferrari of the karting world, and we went with them to ensure our fans enjoyed the best karting experience possible.
“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 and can participate in the full interactive karting experience.”
Meanwhile, after a complete renovation, the History of Motorsport showcases the dawn of motorsport on Phillip Island, starting with the first Australian Grand Prix in 1928 through to present-day racing.
The display has many articles, images and racing vehicles that will capture your imagination.
Also, the Grand Prix slot cars have been redeveloped and now provide the best fun for all ages.
Race your family or your mates and experience the fun on Australia’s largest four-lane GP Slot Car Track.
Or why not test your skills or challenge your mates to a simulated race on the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit?
Go flat out down Gardner Straight, through ultra-fast Doohan Corner, slide through Stoner, thread your way through Siberia and slip stream up the back straight.
Watch out for the hairpin at the bottom of Lukey Heights.
Who will get the bragging rights?
For the adrenalin junkies, how about three heart-pumping ‘Hot Laps’ in a race-prepared vehicle.
Our resident race car driver will get your heart started with lift off and road hugging turns that defy gravity as you ‘white knuckle’ it and carve an impression on the rugged cliffs of the world famous circuit.
Alternatively, 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 such as the Control Tower, Media Centre, Pit Roof, and, of course, that ‘hero’ photo opportunity on the winner’s podium.
After all the excitement, Champion’s Cafe and Bar delivers with its fresh menu with plenty of choices.
Fantastic coffee and delicious home-made cakes, slices, muffins, pastries, sausage rolls and pies hit the spot.
The gift shop at the Visitor Centre has a wide selection of stylish apparel, merchandise and souvenirs to choose from so you can take a memento home with you.
