Love V8 racing, and always dreamed of getting behind the wheel?
Don’t imagine, live the dream and get real with the thrill-charged Sydney Motorsport Park V8 Racing Experience!
Get behind the wheel of a powerful V8 race car, with a professional race driver sitting alongside showing you how to get the best out of yourself, the car and the circuit.
Don’t want to drive, but still have the need for speed? Jump into the passenger seat and let one of our experienced drivers take you for the ride of your life around Sydney Motorsport Park’s twists and turns.
You’ll be kitted up in a race suit, helmet and gloves, attend a proper driver’s briefing and hit the track for some sighting laps – just like the professionals. Then the real fun starts, when you fire up the big V8 and hit the circuit!

Get behind the wheel with this introductory, hands-on experience for learners and young drivers, including basic vehicle maintenance, essential driving skills and driver attitudes.

Stay Upright’s reason for being is simple: to enable riders to reduce their risk in the road, track and off road environments. Just knowing where to position your bike, how to use your motorcycle’s controls effectively and how to make yourself seen are all concepts we have been coaching since 1981. Founder Warwick Schuberg has a deep passion for educating riders in how they can take their riding to the next level – this remains to this day.

Stay Upright does this by helping motorcyclists understand the combination of mental and physical skills we just know work. SU is proud to share the systems, skills and ways of thinking that can help take the fright out of your riding and add in the fun – that’s usually the reason we all ride.

We coach riders to earn their motorcycle licence across Australia, then offer pathways to improve road skills through the SU Roadsmart range of courses. We also love assisting riders to take their riding off road on Adventure bikes, or take to the track with our Tracksmart Lapmaster course and Ride Days, or gain their required accreditation for ATV and utility vehicles.

Stay Upright is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), is ASQA-accredited and is also accredited to provide training and testing services by VicRoads, NSW RMS, the ACT Government and Queensland Transport and Main Roads.

If you aren’t sure which course suits you, or simply want to discuss, call us on 1300 366 640 and speak to one of our friendly staff.

We coach well, we coach right!

CAMS OBSERVED LICENCE TESTS (OLT)

A CAMS Observed Licence Test (OLT) is a test of practical skill, where CAMS approved instructors observe you under modified race conditions. Successful completion of the OLT is a critical component of receiving your racing licence. It gives you the opportunity to show you have a basic understanding and knowledge of manoeuvring a vehicle at high speeds to ensure the safety of both yourself and others, including drivers, officials and spectators.

Driving Solutions is a CAMS accredited OLT provider and offers the opportunity to complete your OLT during a trackday in either the Experienced or Race Car Sessions. If you wish to complete your OLT, please book into the Trackday session of your choice, either Experienced or Race Car, depending on your vehicle, and select OLT as an optional extra when booking.

Vehicles used for the OLT do not have to be race cars but must be free of defects, and must have a passenger seat fitted. Please contact us to discuss your vehicle if you are unsure of its suitability.
