Circuit Club - Anyone Been To Their Track Days?

[tjandriesen]

Came across the Circuit Club web site the other day and noticed they were having a track day on ANZAC Day coming up. Anyone have any experience with these guys or their events?

Liz has done a few days I think, and knows a few members and I think she is also going to that day

[Liz]

I haven't actually been to a circuit car club day yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about them from people on SAU and quite a few of the NSCC guys attend these days aswell. So I figured they must be a good thing!

I believe that they'll also have driving instructors on hand to give tips etc.

I've already booked in for the ANZAC day track day, it's shaping up to be a good one! You should come along!!!!

Liz.

I'm planning on being at the ANZAC day event. Will be my first track day. Should be fun.

I may keep that day free and do it only cause Liz is going

I've been on a few of their track days. They've been doing it for a while, very well organised.

All the trackdays i usually go to are with circuit club, can't be pleased more with there trackdays

-Timing is included (free of charge)

-Cars are split into groups A B C D usually 10-15 cars per group so the track isn't overloaded with cars at one time

-Lockup Garages(Use to be provided at wakefield but ithink this is no longer available since the new owners of wakefield park) - free of charge

They usually have a few guys that can show you the lines and braking points for beginners.

Prizes to the fastest guys of the day

Also their days are usually on weekends or public holidays if you intend on going book 3-4weeks in advanced because by the last 2 weeks they are usually sold out.

If you go with these guys you won't be disappointed, been around for YEARS a very well organised group.

I have been to one of their track days at Wakefield. Well organised event, plenty of track time, official timing included and a pretty friendly group of people. The day I was there, there was a good range of different cars such as Intergras, WRX's, a few Skylines and 200's, even a Ferrari and a kit car.

I would definately go again.

Liz.. last time i went to wakefield after my turbo upgrade..

i ONLY got 2 LAPS per session!!!.. stupid car was overheating.. hitting close to 120degrees after 1 warmup and 2 hard laps..

i NEED A OIL COOLER before i head down but i'm so tempted to put the funds towards camshafts for more power ahaha

previously at least i got 3 hard laps with my old turbo which is alright.. so i'm out for the meantime..

[scathing]

I've done a lot of Circuit Club days.

I quite like them. They have instructors on hand (in case you need it, and depending on your insurer you can say its driver training and so probably be covered under insurance), and most of the attendees are sensible. You get the occasional hero (like the idiots driving the Accord Euros at EC earlier this year in the "novice" session that decided to try passing people around the outside of Turn 1) but generally people are well behaved.

I should be at the next EC day.

[T04GTR]

[tjandriesen]

Who all is going to the Anzac day event?

[T04GTR]

[N1GTR]

[Liz]

ps. I kinda wish I could do this day now, but I've limited myself to 1 track day a month.

[Beer Baron]
