actually they do teach you track specific stuff which can easily be translated to street and Hills driving. this is achieved by looking and critiquing your driving style/habits and hopefully getting you to change for the better (if improvement is needed).

you will get laps timed throughout the day to track your improvement, not for podium spots. there is no official Natsoft timing during the day.

the expense covers 6-8 professional instructors (several will be flying in from Melbourne) and the catering for the day (morning tea, sandwiches, hot lunch, cold drinks/ bottled water) - certainly a lot more than a $200 private day can offer imho.

Cheers for covering that, but I swear lucky last questions :(

Do they do any car setup advice? eg, your car is a bucket of pus, change your spring rates. :)

flinging your car around a track will certainly highlight setup issues (understeer, oversteer, etc)

they can't specifically tell you what spring rates to change to, but can provide comment as to their take on your car's handling - eg. the back end is unstable, too much understeer, turn-in could be improved, brakes fade too soon, etc

and that's the benefit of the day - learning stuff about your car in a (relatively) controlled environment so that you can make adjustments to it and improve your driving ;)

less than 8 wks to go, guys - please confirm here if you have sent your form off with payment and received a confirmation email

not sure at the moment as SAsupra.com went down on the weekend and lost 12 months worth of data & user accounts with no viable backup :D

i'll have to contact everyone from that site individually if their usernames still exist and they can access their PMs! might take a while to confirm but i think i had six paid up from that side.

either way, we have quite a few empty spots at present. i'll go thru the list of people who attended the Advanced Driving event and give them a reminder.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
