All the cars will be owned by "million dollar driver challenge" so we dont have to answer to anyone re: damage etc.

All participants are not liable for any damage done to cars in any of the sessions, it is all part of motorsport and we have allowed for it.

Having said that, drivers will be let out in 10 second increments so there shouldnt be any hassles and we will have the event fully marshalled too.

Called up to speak to Jason this morning but got his secretary - lindsay (I think), anyway 2 of mates wanted to enter in the Monday trackday but cant come up with the funds till mid next week. Lindsay spoke to Jason then rang me back to say that was ok and will put their names on the list anyway.............seriously, what more can these guys do!!! Thanks Jason, cant wait for the trackday.

Hi

The Friday shakedown is only open to people attending the weekend "challenge" event unfortunately.

The Monday and Tuesday events do have alot of track time for entrants so there should be ample time to get used to the cars ie: 4 x 1/2 hour sessions throughout the day.

Thanks,

Lindy (on behalf of Jason)

Million Dollar Driver Challenge

Hi all,

The Million Dollar Driver Challenge main event is almost sold out - we have just 11 spots remaining to fill of the 300 we are allowing.

We are making it a priority to fill all the remaining spots by this weekend!

As a result we are offering a really good deal to those who are interested in competing in the event at a reduced rate - please email me for more details, it is less than what we posted on this site earlier on and those 10 of you who took up the earlier deal will be given this new deal too - so dont worry!!!

This will be the best value motorsport you will ever get guys and girls.

Fuel tv - part of the Fox organisation are also on board as a partner and will be producing a 1 hour program on the event which will be aired 2 weeks after the event, they will also be producing a 1/2 hour program dedicated to the 2 1 day track days which will air 1 month later.

Also, the 1 day track days are filling fast too guys:

Monday - 52 paid and confirmed

Tuesday - 27 paid and confirmed

We are also doing a special deal for SAU members for these days - email for details.

Just registred for the weekend event with Lindy - what a great deal....anyone else here entered?

Yeah, chris, send lindy an email as they have an awesome deal for the mon/tues trackdays, much cheaper than the $400 advertised and I think they are only doing it for sau forum members.

Ok there are plenty of sceptics about this event actually taking place. Can we get a list going of the 275 people that have actually forked out full price.

I spoke to Subaru today and they do not know anything about the event. Jason, you said you had 28 cars already, can we see pictures of them?? As the order is for some 45 cars, I thought that this would come up on Subaru's radar. Have you got them from Japan.

I would love this event to be true, but I would like to see proof ie pics, entry list etc

If it's on, I'm in :)

Boz, I was thinking the same thing re Subaru. i have a friend very high up in the chain who looks after cars coming in and he also knew nothing about it. However if it were me, i would be bringing them in from Japan as track only cars and avoid all the taxes etc which is why i decided that my mate not knowing wasn't enough reason to doubt it :-)

Re the C63 AMG........I spoke to merc and they know nothing about it as well. How are you going to get one as there is a decent waiting list. I work for Merc as well.

I will speak to ACP magazines tomorrow and see what they know as they own Unique cars. Has anybody made contact with wakefield to find out if the bookings have been made. If not, I will speak to them tomorrow as well :D

It is always amazes me how when it comes to things motorsport related that everybody knows somebody and everyone is an expert - so without getting excited let me set the record VERY straigt for you Bozman1 and others.

When I spoke to you the other day and you asked me if Nick Senior had done me a good deal, I didnt say yes, in fact I didnt say anything at all. The reason for this is that yes, I did source the vehicles overseas as after speaking to a few local Australian Subaru dealers it quickly became clear that purchasing the vehicles here would not make the best economic sense.

We also spoke to a few workshops about preparing and running the cars for us those that did get back to us wanted drug money and some of the more reputable ones, well, I am still waiting for them to get back to me, so we decided to go it alone on this front too.

In terms of the C63, if you do indeed have something to do with Mercedes Benz you would know that currently there are atleast 6 cars sitting on showroom floors across the country for immediate delivery - we have one coming in February.

Please feel free to contact Justine or David Keens at Unique cars to verify their involvement - we have a full back page advert in the current issue and another full page advert advertising the 1 day track days in the December issue due out early December.

Please feel free to contact Robyn at Wakefield too and she can enlighten you on our booking with them too.

On our website and all our advertising it states very clearly that we have no affiliation with Subaru Australia or Mercedes Benz Australia in any way, shape or form.

Finally, if anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me on my mobile 0410614330 at any time, I will be more than happy to take your calls.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
