Many celebrity drivers from both motorsport and the media have raced Aussie Racing Cars over the years. V8 Supercar stars, television commentators and journalist all have one thing in common - they can't stop raving about the experience!

"To use a Jeremy Clarkson description, these cars are mental! There is so much going on out there, the noise, the closeness of racing, they move around a lot, it is simply manic!

Paul Gover was the guest driver in the Toyota Aurion at the 2009 Australian F1 GP. "The racing is brilliant and the cars are serious speed machines. It's easily the most enjoyment  I've ever had on a racetrack."

Paul Morris had an invitational drive at Bathurst in 2007 and fell in love with the pocket rockets, so much so that he ran two cars in the series the following year. A regular front-runner, Morris claimed the cars were "more fun than a V8 Supercar".

'Cromly' is a regular guest driver in the Aussie Racing Cars and has spoken highly of the category since his first drive. With a wealth of technical knowledge Crompton assessed the cars as being 'pure-bred racers that feel like a race car should'.

After listening to his V8 Supercar team mate (Paul Morris) rave about the cars, Russell took to the track at Walefield Park in 2008 and could not wipe the smile from his face after his first race. Pretty much, he was speechless!

Simon took to the Aussie Racing Cars like a duck to water when he steered the Toyota aurion to a strong finish at Oran Park in 2008. Tarmac racing is not his usual thing but the Aussie Racing Cars' driveability made his experience exhilarating.

Tony D'Alberto adapted to the Aussie Racing Car so quickly that he placed third in his first drive at Eastern creek in 2004. Describing the cars as 'a mix between a go kart and V8 Supercar' he couldn't wait to get behind the wheel again.

A long-time supporter of the category with a sponsored entry Brad finally succumbed to the temptation to have a drive himself at Winton in 2008. After retiring from the V8 Supercars in 2007 it was just what he needed to feed his need for speed.

John Faulkner raced the Aussie Racing Cars many times and just had to keep coming back to battle it out in Australia's most competitive category. With plenty of V8 Supercar experience Faulkner thought the Aussie Racing Cars were ' the equal of anything he had raced'.
