hey guys this would be my first club sprint day, would I be better off signing up for the driver training? Will there be instructors at the track? Do I still get the same amount of laps? Sorry I was going to ask these questions on the WRX forums but it seems my username hasn't been activated yet.

I haven't done a circuit driver course either and don't want to be getting in everbody's way if I sign up for the sprints... am I being paranoid?

mate the best thing id to do the driver training cos then at least you get to see what the track like and not have the problem of some of the fast car come up from behind and you blocking them and them getting pissed .

so my advice would be to do the training.

Looks like there will be a few training so you wont feel out of place at all.

also if you need help with anything there are many people who will help.

how late can you sign up for this?

I havent recieved any info from SAU or CAMS regarding my licence i signed up for at the drift day last weekend, so dunno my CAMS LIC#, also have 2 things to do to my car to make it track ready, and dont wanna pay an then not be able to run due to not passing scrutineering.

if I'm not at this one, i'll be at the next one. Best I do DT first go too, as havent done a track day on 4 wheels before.

Its up to you but i dont think driver training is a must. Its not a bad idea, i took Snowman with me my first time out...it was really good as after listening carfully to every word he said i knew exactly what not to do :D

I think its a good idea as you at least get some pointers on the layout at the track.

And at the end of the day, even the seemingly simple things like how to turn the steering wheel, we are all different and whatever is comfortable to you...but there are some bad habits that ppl bring to the track which may catch you out at speed.

how late can you sign up for this?

When you paid SAU for CAMS license you would have got a CAMS 30 days receipt and that will do.

It is a wrx club requirement that you do DT if you have not done any track work previously.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
