Good Charlotte's Hot Lap Post by: CK 31 August, 2010 - 5:52 PM

Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden have hit Australia and started by burning up a few laps in a couple of V8 Supercars.

“This was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I’ve never been that fast before, those things really fly," said Joel Madden.

“When you are on stage it’s good adrenalin but you’re more in control. In the car I was pretty much just holding on, I would love to do it again.”

Joel and Benji Madden are in Australia to promote their new single 'Like it’s her birthday' and new album 'Cardiology' due for release on November 2.

Todd and Rick Kelly currently compete in the V8 Supercar Championship Series for Jack Daniel’s Racing and were at the Phillip Island Circuit as part for their preparations for the L&H 500 Phillip Island on September 10-12.

“I had Benji with me and he was really enjoying it so we put in a couple of real fast laps to try and ensure Todd didn’t give Joel a quicker experience,” laughs Rick Kelly.

“They are both great guys, I think secretly they are adrenalin junkies, taking people like that for a spin is really enjoyable,” said Todd Kelly.

Tickets for the L&H 500 Phillip Island start from $26 and are available from www.ticketek.com.au
