**autosports** Oran Park "grand Prix" Circuit, Thursday 17th September.


Recommended Posts

YES... THE GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT!!!

We are pretty stoked to be able to bring this date to you guys. Those that have driven this track will agree that it is without question the best permanent race track in the country

Those in the know also know that this track will 100% be closed at the end of this year and this could seriously be one of the last chances you will ever get to drive this circuit.

* $250 per driver

* Includes qualified driver trainers

* Official timing

* strictly 4 groups of 15 cars running 15 minute session

There is really only five weeks till these event and we dont want to wait till the last minute to get numbers sorted. I also don't think that it will take too long to book this event out given that dates on the GP circuit are so hard to access.

So if you want to experience driving this amazing and rewarding Grand Prix circuit... register for this event now and don't miss out!

Hey Peddler,

Long time no see. I registered for this great day. I loved SAU GP and I will like a repeat. I hope I reserved my spot via this TIXI reservation but, the $250.00 ticket costed me $264.30. So people if you register expect a little bit more!

Cheers,

Eug.

Brad's 32?

Yep yep, the one and only.

Going to try and put a passenger seat in it.

Hopefully it will last the whole day. It doesn't have a great track record with Oran Park.

  • 3 weeks later...

Here is some in car footage from my run during session 2. I've still got a bit to learn about putting the power down smoothly and trail braking more into several of the corners.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
