What Events/classes Can I Possible Enter?

[Kaido_RR]

I’m looking at importing a vehicle for the purposes of using it for track work only. But I am under sure of what events I will be able to enter and if there are enough events to make it worth while for me to import the vehicle.

What I would like to know is if I import a vehicle under the RACE/RALLY import scheme. What events in Perth (WA) can I enter? I’m guessing it will depend on the car –if so I’m looking at sourcing possible an r32 GTR, or 95-00 WRX or EVO. I don’t want to make a choice without knowing what events I can and can’t enter.

I’m guessing if I head towards the WRX or EVO, I would be able to enter rally events? (is there some sort of lower end group I can enter?)

I’ve done abit of looking but haven’t found much on what events are run in Perth and what regulation they have, if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful

Also, i current have a Cams Level 2 license, would it be in my best interested to uprade to a National Level Licence?

edit: i have just been reading the CAMS website and have come across more information on the Licences, Does anyone have more information on the observed licence test (OLT) ?

edit2x: I have done mc events in the pass, and i remember alot of the mc events you need a road reg vehicle will i be unable to enter such events with a RACE/RALLY imported Scheme Vehicle

Thanks Michael

Im part way through getting my lvl 3 (Provisional License) which im pretty sure it what you need to import a race/rally car, unless you have a mate or someone who can do it for you.

Hi mate, there is a race class in WA that our cars fit into, it allows more mods than most of the state classes. I'd suggest calling the CAMS WA State office and they can put you in touch with whoever runs the series.

In NSW there are GTRs with CAMS in 3E and 3J (Production and Improved Production) and AASA are also running some events which allow decent mods now too. There is a Targa class in Tas and SA which allow skylines. I'm pretty sure there are no Skylines racing in Vic.

To import a race car you need NC Cams license, so you are probably best having someone import it for you. If you want to be able to run in rallies as well you need an NR license for Rally imports, then you need to talk to your state rego authority about what you need for rego. Rally rego should allow you to compete in rallies, drive to practice and workshops.

I don't know what the MC events are, but if you had rally rego that would be sufficient. As long as you mod the car to Tarmac Rally regulations (available from CAMS) you can enter things like rallywa or targa tas. If not things like Dutton Rally have no rules.

You need to decide on the regs you are building to first - otherwise you will find yourself pulling lots of expensive stuff back off the car and returning it to standard

Getting an NC license is pretty much impossible unless you already have a race car - you need to get a PC license first (attend a flags lecture and pass the OLT), then you need to be observed by the clerk of course for 6 race meets to upgrade to NC. Took me about 18 months.

The OLT is pretty straightforward, it is basically a mini race that you do in whatever car you have to show you aren't a lunatic. In NSW they are normally done as part of an advanced driving course, although they run a couple of sessions a year before race meets with just the OLT. Once again check with the WA State office.

Good luck
