Forget Uber. Call a V8 Supercar

It pays to have good friends.

So when RedBull Racing offered me a Sunday lift into the heart of the Gold Coast with current V8 Supercar champion Jamie Whincup anyone still asleep beachside woke up!

Hell it’s not everyday you get to drive a race car in traffic down the esplanade!

@jamiewhincup & @pauldumbrell on the streets of the #GoldCoast in two @v8supercars ahead of the #gc600. What could possibly go wrong? #comingsoon #redbullracingau
