Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden have kick-started their Australian promotional tour with a flying hot lap in a thrilling V8 Supercar at Phillip Island.
The Madden brothers, who are part of American pop-funk band Good Charlotte, were today hosted by V8 Supercar siblings Todd and Rick Kelly at the famous Phillip Island circuit, reaching speeds up to 290km/h (180mph) strapped into the passenger seat of the Kelly brothers' V8 Supercars.
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.
With both the Kelly Racing cars at the circuit, the brothers couldn't help but engage in some harmless brother rivalry.
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.
The V8 Supercars 'Greatest Show on Wheels' heads to Phillip Island on September 10-12 to begin the hugely anticipated 'Season of Endurance' for the L&H 500 Phillip Island.
A challenging new race format, preventing full-time Championship Series drivers from pairing together in the same car, is expected to deliver some thrilling racing.
This year the event is also offering on-site camping for fans wanting to get amongst the action-packed race weekend.
Tickets for the L&H 500 Phillip Island start from $26 and are available from www.ticketek.com.au
