All interested drivers,

As some back ground info, I did a private practise drive day out at OP last month, it was gold. I had an open track and only 4 other cars driving! I had the track to myself, no marshals, no sessions it could not get better. I was incapable of driving anymore laps by 3pm due to exhaustion!

I placed a call this morning to check if they had any more planned days, and apparently there were some cancellations that enabled a few day’s to open up, below is the response I received.

Sat 7th Oct 06, South cct. $110

Mon 16th Oct 06, South cct. $110

Tue 17th Oct 06, GP cct. $110

Wed 18th Oct 06, South cct. PM only $50

Thursday 19th Oct 06, GP cct. $110

As per all CAMS days you need a CAMS Race or L2S licence, helmet, non flammable clothing and a road/track worthy car. Last time I went, they did not even look at my car or helmet, so there is some level of trust.

I would encourage everyone check with Oran Park the day before on 0246461004, to ensure it is still being run.

I think I might do either the 18th and or the 19th Oct.

See you out there!, why own a high performance car and not use it, there is no excuse?

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
