Time Attack Driver Training Program – Unique One-On-One In Car Training

Every Time Attack track day now includes two training groups. The training will be performed by Doug Chapple who has been the senior driving instructor at Qld Raceway for several years. Doug has literally done thousands of laps of the circuit. During his 40 year motorsport career he has won several championships and is well qualified to provide a highly professional training program. The most unique part of this training is the in car one-on-one training where Doug will give you coaching for a session on track, helping you successfully tie together the theory with the practical.

Beginners Driver Training – AM Session

The first time to the circuit can be a daunting experience. To take the stress out of attending your first event we have put together a beginners driver training package which is now available at Time Attack track days.

• Classroom theory session to prepare you for your first outing on the track. Items such as braking points, cornering techniques and the race line will be covered to ensure you are fast and safe on the circuit.

• Preparation of your car including; seat and mirror positioning, tyre pressures etc.

• Warm up lap strategy to properly warm the tyres and brakes.

• Cool down lap and post session car care.

• In car driver coaching, one on one. The instructor will do a session in the car with you and coach you on the proper driver techniques required to do fast safe laps.

Experienced Driver Training – PM Session

Nov 24 Price Only: $79 (not including track booking fee)

Once you have been to the track and have the experience to put down consistent laps you will start to want more from your car and yourself. Looking to improve your lap times driver training is the place to start.

• Class room theory session looking at each of the corners on the track. Planning the best approach to each corner to string together a quick lap.

• Car preparation, looking at items such as your tyre selection and the correct temperature and pressures to expect from them.

• In car driver coaching, one on one. The instructor will ride with you and show you the braking points, turn in points, corner apexes and show you how to sting them together to perform a hot lap.

Great work again Paul, perfect idea for the first timers to take the edge off and de-stress before they do flying laps...

I think everyone could learn from Doug also, his instructions for me carved 2 seconds off the sprint circuit and was far better on tyres than my driving style...

Hey Andy be great to see you guys at the track. We have been talking about it for a while.

Thanks Col, I think its the next step for the event now to help new guys get out there and experienced guys slice off some time.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
