Have just sent off payment for membership renewal so I can try and be at this event.

Bec, get up WRX club to update with entries so I know how much time I have to pay for this ;)

Would really love to make this one

so if you're a newb to circuit racing like me (only done 3 deca events so far but have no circuit experience) should I put myself in the driver training group? i am just worried that I will get swamped by all the faster cars and I don't want to get in anyone's way on the track... but i still want to do the whole event... any recommendations?

I did DT at sandown, its great, as you can take people along with you to learn the lines etc (Thanks Andrew :worship:)

The only thing is that you get SHIT ALL time compared to everyone else and that really really sucks and is unfair!

So dont listen to anyone who tells you that you still get heaps of time on the track...

Hmmmmm......If that was the last WRX club day, you should have had exactly the same amount as time as everyone else.

The only part of the day that Driver Training guys miss out on is the super sprints (which is a very valid exclusion).

As far as practice and sessions go though, you should have had exactly the same number of sessions as all the other groups.

And technically..... you get more seat time, coz it takes you guys longer to get around each lap :worship:

If you feel disadvantaged like that, you should have approached the Clerk of Course on the day and explained how you felt, he could have either cleared it up for you, or fixed the problem. If you want to, you could still shoot the Motorsport Director of the WRX Club an email explaining your concerns etc.

dont not do DT because you get less track time, which is marginally less anyway... we have seen a number of people write their cars off by jumping in the deep end when the probably shouldnt have...

also, if you and your instructor are confident that you can go solo then you just let the clerk of course know and you will be able to drive on your own so its really the way to go.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
