oh my god! its never ending this year!!!

thats not a bad thing though...

i think i will decide closer to the date if i can afford it.

[180Roman]

hmmm... I was sure Sat is the 27th of June

I got my last exam on Friday 26th, so i have a tough choice to make,

go out and party VS go to sandown

I hate these hard decisions

Looks at calender… hmm I need to speak to few people. I should be a goer, but doubt I will have the new turbo, manifold etc on…but that’s ok. Will give the old original setup one last go at beting my PB

[phunky_monkey]

Entered... now here's hoping I make it this time...

[Adz]

All over it like a fat kid on a cup cake.

Sunday track day...I might be able to enter!

[SS8_Gohan]

just looking at the form, there is a tick box for entry fee and one for driver training.

does that mean if you want driver training it's an extra $145 ontop of the $185? or you have to tick one or the other and if you tick driver training, it's a slightly restricted day?

EDIT: i should read everything first...

"5. Driver Training Group

“Driver Training Group” sessions are a separate group in this event and Drivers participate only in this

group and pay the reduced entry fee.

For this component of the event, the following will apply to all drivers:

• There will be a separate Novice Group briefing and attendance of all drivers participating in this

component is mandatory.

• the club will provide a Driving Advisor / Instructor for each Driver

• Overtaking is not expected or encouraged in the ordinary course of this component of the event. If

overtaking is required it must be done in a safe and cautious manner. Those drivers who overtake in a

dangerous manner will be reported immediately to the Clerk Of Course and subject to penalties (which

can include exclusion from the event). Those drivers who are being overtaken must indicate by

pointing to the side they wish to be overtaken and maintain their line. The responsibility for the

overtaking manoeuvre rests with the overtaking vehicle.

• Drivers who wish the Driver Advisor / Instructor to drive their vehicle in this component do so

entirely at their own risk."

Do we know who the instructors will be?

DT is $145

cheers

Nah, it's the cheaper option of the two.

[SS8_Gohan]

thanks guys i should have read the pdf's more carefully

so is it cheaper because you get less track time? i take it you still get to participate in the timed events?

how would this compare to say the Driver Dynamics open pit days? Those days are instruction days as well but they're around $260

[emts]

well the DD days have some pro drivers giving you indepth instructions.

these will ahve some people who know the track give you some tips..

so really depends on what you looking for

you will learn more from a DD day...but you pay more as well..

but won't get points in the club championship either!

[Z1LLA]

Can't wait for this one, in for sure. Will be one of the first events I do since doing a heap of mods to my car.

[Russman]

Should make it. 26's here I come!

[180Roman]

Yeah it is - my bad, this event is definately on the 28th, which is the Sunday.

a thats great, then i can go to both, my end of exams party and Sandown

cool, thanks for that mate

would you say track time is comparable between the DD days and these WRX ones?

[ssxRicho]

sessions are 8min'ish, so if that compares??? you get 4 runs in your group then its open groups till pack up.

[some_cs_student]

Interested, would have been great if they were using an AASA permit, then I wouldn't have to buy a CAMS license

Probably time I should buy one....

So 4 * 8min runs even for the driver training group? And after say 3pm to 4pm its a little more open or....? Never been to a club track day.

I've done Sandown once with the driver dynamics group, and Winton during a fun day, but I'm only running some average street tyres and think the driver training might be a good idea...
