Yeh if your in the Bluey you will be in associate class.

It looks like the SAU guys are about half the entries so far.

If people are keen to start entering these sorts of events, or just love their motorsport, then its a great idea to come down and look at whats going on. The WRX Club are always grateful for the support our members give with officials. Its a great vantage point by teh track watching the quick guys fly up into/out of corners. Anyone that has flagged can tell you its pretty cool place to watch the action.

Keeping my salesmans hat on for a second, you can actually use these events to get the experience to become a CAMS official which will allow you to official at State and National meets. Fancy being trackside at a V8 round? Im going to do it so i can black flag that shiela Rick Kelly :)

How can Sandown scare you after PI? Sandown is great fun. Big ripple strips to hammer over. A few big stops to wrestle the car under brakes for...its great fun in any car. (Unlike PI :) )

The walls that are close to the track.... At least at PI the walls a further away even if your going that fast that the run off isn't enough, it still makes you feel a bit better :)

I'm out. can't take another beating from a truck driver.

hahahah took me a few seconds to figure that one out - whats the real reason? Single spinner?

Winton may be the spiritual home for Team Wang, but Sandown is the home of BTR :)

Whats BTR?

That's some funny shit!!!!

Now who else can I chase around the track??? Maybe Voss in the purple MPC car...

I don't think I'll be doing any PB's, my best time was getting towed around by another faster guy. :)

I'm faxed and ready to GO!!!!!

Aaron, you still coming for a look???

At this point in time there will be Driver Training run in conjunction with the usual sprints, so post up if you are interested in doing Driver Training on the day.

I'm interested in doing the driver training seeing as I have never raced at Sandown before, how many driver training sessions are run during the day on average?

Do any of the SAU guys instruct or is it WRX club people only?

Also with regards to the db limit, do GT-R's with your usual large exhaust systems frequently go over this limit?

Thanks, sorry for the questions but I'm a bit of a circuit newbie...

If you do Driver Training then you normally get 3-4 sessions. (much like everyone else) The instructors can be both SAU or WRX. Normally we try to use SAU instructors for the SAU guys. Normally the like of Aaron34, Scotsman, Belsil80, Snowman and myself can do the SAU guys. I dont think Jag33 normally does it but like a few others have the experience and maturity to walk you around the track.

If you are happy enough, and the Instructor is happy, the Clerk of Course may allow you to run in a sprint but thats a case by case basis.

Not many cars have had trouble with noise at Sandown. Though there was an alarming number of cars having troubles with PI. So if your car is very loud then it may pay to try and address it before the day. I was hoping to but im running out of time....so if you are loud just be prepard to be warned and maybe short shift the rest of the day.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
