Spectator stands what the hell? The track is surrounded by hills that let you see far more than just 1 corner from every single point. You can even take your rug and some chairs and esky and lay back and relax which is something you can't do in the main grandstand.

Imagine what $30mil could do to Wakefield Park, you could build another 10 identical venues so that an entire v8 field could actually compete on the same track.

i agree!!! They defintely shouldn't be closing OP

I can understand it closing, but it should be replaced bigger and better!!! All the race tracks are in desperate need of funds and upgrades!

Why is Mt Panorama so expensive to hire? Do they want to keep it V8 exclusive?

Welcome to the debacle that is WA round of v8 Supercars.....

Aww :D Not cool Huh :D

I got fire up and wrote an email to the radio station!

What really needs to happen is the motorsport and car club communitys need to do something about this sort of stuff and stand up and get heard! It's always us little guys that lose out:/

Jess,

the reason its so expensive is because its a public road and its got something to do with the public liability insurance...and also ppl live on the mount so clearing it past all of them would prove difficult

The council are actually pushing very hard to have an extra round here at the Bathurst. They are saying that it is far more economical to prepare Mt Panorama for racing then it is to prepare a street circuit in Sydney and Bathurst already has awesome facilities. Mt Panorama curently has approval for 5 full circuit events per year if needed.

There are also plans for another curcuit there using pit straight and then further down the hill. This track could be used without effecting residents and could be open for regular track days!

Not sure though if another round at Bathurst would effect the main event or if they would get the spectators out here for the normal round.

Tim.

Thats a great idea, but how do we go about doing it. Im sure that some sort of petition could be organised. SAU has massive member numbers, and we should be able to organise support from sister forums such as nissan silvia. and as you said, other car clubs and workshops could support it also. but we would have to be clear on what we were wanting sorted out. Do we not want street events because they take funding that could be spent on current track upkeep, or do we just want more funding for this? i dont see a problem with the street race as it will introduce motorsport to more people in which can generate money, but if it means loosing a track that the public uses then its a problem.

I wrote an email to the radio station stating that the $30milion spent on a new street circuit would be better put to use replacing Oran Park or injecting funds into Eastern Creek and Wakefield park, or event making Mt Panorama more affordable to use for car clubs! This has been passed on to the people that want to hear opiouns

I am not totally against the street circuit but cant understand why they would choose that option which will upset a lot of people and residence's and is crap for spectatotrs than building a brand new race track for all to use!!

Why do us little guys have to get forgotten about when we help keep motorsport alive with using the race tracks every weekend! If we could get all the car clubs together to sign a petition online and tell the government our views and to say build us a brand new track to replace Oran Park or put the funds to better use and upgrade the other two standing race tracks! We use the forum I know I am a member of 5 or more forums

We need to write to the Minister of state development - The Hon. Ian Macdonald, BA(Hons) MLC

It's about time the residents of Mt Panorama were bought out and the facility turned into a Nurburgring style place so that it could actually be used.

that would be heaven! rock up, pay your $20 a lap or whatever and go for it.

I have written a email to the minister this morning and will await his response to see if a petition is a good plan, the only problem with a petition is and I agree with Adam is we would need "thousands" of signatures :blink: Would need help from IT guys to set up online petition..

that would be heaven! rock up, pay your $20 a lap or whatever and go for it.

I reckon! That would be the best! That's why I did the hillclimb on weekend just so I could experience Mt Panorama!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
