Thanks, looking to join the club and do the DT.

I take it that Winton is one of the better places to do driver training?

First timers, like me, might want to take a quick look at this doc from the WRX forums

Winton is a great track if your starting out. its a relatively low speed circuit, quite technical but with plenty of run off.

its a good one to develope your driving skills, they say if you can master winton, you can master any circuit! :(

Oh o :(

"Noise emission level is limited to 75dB(A) at 30 metres. Entrants who fail the drive-by 75dB reading will

get 1 (one) chance to rectify the problem and will be excluded if the car fails on a second reading"

Is this enforced at Winton? I thought they were a 95db track.

What's the go with accomodation, from what I can see there's only a few places left with those dates available.

I can see there's also a few self contained cottage things available for 77-105 a night which cuold be good if people are interested in sharing.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to enter this event. It will be my first event with SAU (normally just drift with VDC). Whats the go with Rollcages? I read the entry form and it says the event is held under ASAA. But then read the rules and regs and it said it has to be cams approved, same story with harnesses too...

If anybody could clear it up for me that would be great!

Cheers

Rob

If anyone needs clarification on anything unclear in the supp regs, you will need to contact the motorsport director of the WRX Club - this event is run by them and they set the rules.

His name is Justin and you can get him on [email protected]

Just avoids anyone here giving you incorrect info and then you being disappointed on teh day - best to get the answer straight from the horses mouth.

We've booked a cabin and we're in with the rest of you so should be fun. We'll just be staying the Saturday night and will drive up in the morning on Saturday and meet you all at Winton.

All of my friends bailed on me so it'll just be me and the missus this time but if DECA shep was anything to go by there's more than enough friendly people around to make up for it.

Side note: The 18th is my birthday so I might be in fine form on the Saturday night :)

EDIT: As this will be my first sprint in this car and I barely know it I'm going to do Driver Training ;) Do you get to choose the Trainer?

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
