Madden brothers enjoy "cool" car race

Joel and Benji Madden have done a practice run for their V8 Supercars race tomorrow night.

The Good Charlotte rockers, who are currently in Australia to promote their new single and album, said that they loved racing around the Phillip Island track yesterday at 290km per hour with professional drivers Todd and Rick Kelly.

After the lap, Joel told The Daily Telegraph: "I'm sure not many people get to do that in their lifetime. That was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I've never been that fast before, those things really fly."

Rick added: "[Benji] was really enjoying it so we put in a couple of real fast laps to try to ensure Todd didn't give Joel a quicker experience."
