PUT YOURSELF IN THE DRIVERS SEAT!

BATHURST BOUND!

It's rare that any of us get to drive a professionally set up race car, but you now have that opportunity with the introduction of the Funcup cars to Australia.

If you love cars, have always dreamed of driving a race car - and secretly thought you could beat the big boys at Bathurst - then call us now!

It's like Porsche Cup - Only Heaps More Fun:

Last week, we took our rookie drivers to Challenge Bathurst and they completed two days on this amazing racetrack.

Driving up to the mountain you are greeted with that big 'Mount Panorama' sign, and you know you're up for something very special. The team was ready for some exciting days where this year the cars and drivers performed faultlessly!

Challenge Bathurst is a very special event and is by invitation only, luckily, we are able to secure the invitation required to drive at this fantastic event.

Drivers complete six 25-minute sessions over the two days and compete against the clock. The cars are a five-speed sequential, two litre machines which anyone can drive.

We supply everything you need including test days on all of Australia's racetracks, and driver coaching from the best in the business. Check it out below and come give it a go!

FUNCUP BOSS GREG WOODROW IN-CAR AT CHALLENGE BATHURST

Paul's journey in his own Words!

Conrod Straight is a very different environment to Paul Wagland's usual Thursday/Friday, office bound in front of a computer. Paul works IT in the hustle and bustle of Sydney town. But he has always had a love of cars and wanted an outlet that was affordable and fun.

The wear and tear on his road car at track days around the country was definitely a no-go, so when Paul got the opportunity to drive the Funcup, he jumped in feet first.

"Paul had a small amount of time at the racetrack before we met, so he had a base to start from, and we just tuned him up from there" said Funcup Australia owner Greg Woodrow.

First up was the test at Winton Raceway, which allowed Paul to step into the car without any pressure. On the day Paul worked his way forward with coaching from Erebus V8 Supercar driver Jordan Boys, working on lines, mid corner speed and breaking technique. By the end of the day Paul was ready to move forward to the next test with confidence.

With coaching and data complete, Paul arrived at the mountain with a degree of excitement and nervousness, after all, this is the place that the best in the world have raced for over 50 years.

The first session allowed Paul to settle in and the fact that there are two days at the track meant that he could work his way forward. By the end of day one he was confident with the track, the car and the team around him, and some impressive lap times started to come.

More than anything, this was a bucket list event that Paul never thought he could achieve, and yet, here he is!
