Beer Baron Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hi, For anyone who is interested, the GTI-R Owners Club (Australian Chapter) is holding a track day at Wakefield Park, to be held on Tuesday 16 September. The day is primarily for GTI-R owners to test their cars on the track, but as we are a small club we would welcome SAU members (or anyone) who would like to come. For the day to be fun (not too many cars) but affordable we have limited places to 35 participants. This makes the cost $50 each Be aware that to drive you will either need a cams licence or a "wakefield licence" which costs $30 (valid for 1 year) and you will need to have (or hire for $20) an approved helmet. For more info on Wakefield Park go to: http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au If you would like to come, you will need to pay your $50 in advance, to do so, or for more infor PM me This will be a great day and a chance to get away from speed limits and speed humps and enojy your car as it's maker intended. Richard List of people comming: Troy (PAID) Jonothan (PAID) Gavin (PAID) Simmo (PAID) Mark (PAID) Terry Slo200 Darren (PAID) now replaced by Duncan NOTE: THERE IS ONE PLACE LEFT! YOU WANT IT?

Mr R32 M-Spec Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 who is gizzmo? excuse my ignorance. I am somewhere inbetween 14sec-15sec pass. but thanks to the rain last night I didn't get to drive :8 160RW KW GTST. should be better than the last time I went in march Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22538-wakefield-park-track-day-16903-all-welcome-organised-by-oz-gti-r-owners-club/#findComment-484909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxkilla Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 ha haah - just a joke for the GTiR guys. A GTiR that ran an 11.4. should go better soon... But yeah, hope you can come, the more the merrier.

Beer Baron Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 C'mon guys! Where are all the die-hard track-fiend, schumacher wannabe skyline pilots? Consider this: A lightly modified GTST should be a good match for a gti-r. Both 2 litre (1 a 6, 1 a 4), both single turbo, one rear wheel drive, one four wheel drive. I guarantee a good day Richard Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22538-wakefield-park-track-day-16903-all-welcome-organised-by-oz-gti-r-owners-club/#findComment-485455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost empty track! I'll have to confirm closer to the date, but I'll be along for sure if work is OK...can't wait to whip some of those little gtirs BTW, 11.4sec is bloody quick around wakefield, I can hardly get below 71sec Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22538-wakefield-park-track-day-16903-all-welcome-organised-by-oz-gti-r-owners-club/#findComment-485608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee a good day Richard The only way I am going to beat one of these things around the track is if it has stock suspension with compliance wheels and tyres:cool: & maybe if he has his hands sticky taped to the steering wheel! I didn't have this much power of the FMIC last time I went down. best time I did all day was 1 min 21 secs. my mate with the stock as a rock MR2 did a 1 min 16secs I think. he was laughin the whole way home!
