The title says it all ;)

As ORAN PARK will stop operating from the 25th JAN 2010, this is the very last opportunity for you to drive on the circuit at an open track day without having to hold any special race licence. YES THIS IS THE LAST EVER ORAN GP OPEN TRACKDAY.

This day promises to bring a bag of mixed feelings....sad, historic, happy etc

I think this should be a day to come along and farewell this magnificent venue we have come to know ;)

I have some very special friends coming along to this day. RALLYSCHOOL and SPORTSCAR WORLD RENTALS will have displays on the day and will be giving away prizes.

3 lucky people will go for a ride in a rally car on the purpose built rally track at ORAN PARK on this actual day as part of a lucky door prize for all entrants on the day. The prizes will be drawn at lunch.

3 lucky people will go for a ride in a sportscar supplied by SCWR on the ORAN PARK GP circuit on this actual day as part of a lucky door prize for all entrants on the day. The prizes will be drawn at lunch. Last time I did this, SCWR allowed me to take people for rides in there 430 Ferrari :)

This day is sure to be a sellout, with people emailing weeks ago putting there name down for this event as they have heard about it through the grapevine.

DATE: THURSDAY 14th JANUARY 2010

VENUE: ORAN PARK GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT

INSTRUCTORS: YES, INCLUDING STEVE GLENNEY (Targa Tasmania Winner), DEAN EVANS (TARMAC MAGAZINE OWNER), SCOTT BARGWANNA (MINI CHALLENGE) and myself JOHN BOSTON

PASSENGERS: ONLY UNLESS INSTRUCTOR IS DRIVING

TIMING: YES THIS WILL BE PROVIDED

LUNCH: YES THIS WILL BE PROVIDED

For those that have never been to a track day before, do not be intimidated. This day caters for the complete novice to the experienced. Plenty of instructors will be on hand to help you throughout the day.

We intend on having 4 groups based on speed/experience. Each group will go out for 15 minute sessions. We will have CAMS flag marshalls at the this event helping us with the day :biggrin:

Do not hesitate to contact me for any further information on this day via email or mobile 0412 574 010.

Hope to see you on the day :)

Ahhhh, so tempted to do this! I'll HAVE to keep this in mind and make sure nothing else is on my schedule for this day.

15min sessions are perfect at OPGP - just enough time to get some good laps in, without burning yourself out or over-cooking your car!

The 1800 number is working crew >_<

If you let it ring long enough, it will go to an answering machine lol I have tried it myself to make sure.

You are probably use to phones not ringing for very long :blink:

I can vouch for how awesome these JB days are! I would love to be there in the blue silvia Bozman, but she is for sale and think it might be gone by then. If not... then i might see availability when i get back from UK on the 9th of Jan :)

Hi Andrew

ORAN GP can easily handle 20 cars on the track at once. If you race in a full grid event, you can have up tp 42 cars on the track at once....but that is not what we will do :D

We are going to have 4 groups of 20 cars....so a total of 80 people max. We will end up having a reserve list for this event, as there is just massive interest.

As of today we have 72 entries :)

    • Did you get this sorted out? I'd be interested to hear what you think of this brake upgrade, I'm currently looking for a new setup. With the Yen on it's knees I'm tempted by an Endless kit at the moment.
    • Yeah you can pick them up for $1000 now, good condition road going ones for $3000. They handle OK for a FWD and the power to weight ratio's not too bad. Great little nugget to get into racing, and shitbox rallying etc.
    • back when I had my Ceffy (auto RB20DET) I remember the wiring being a mashup of R31 GTSR and S13, and not really R32. It all made sense when I realised the Ceffy started production in 88 and the Skyline in 89.   We ended up hand tracing a lot of it while trying to add an alarm/immobiliser etc.
    • wao, this page is good https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nab/
    • No worries.  I have a set of Zeals to get me through for the moment but would definitely be interested in a full set of Bilsteins. Are you doing race support these days? I drove past the Bend when I picked up the 260 rs but never driven the course. How does it compare to SMSP? I'll be at SMSP tomorrow afternoon and on the 26th of June in the morning. I'll be in a very loud (straight through exhaust and straight cut gears) silver R35 GTR. Cheers, Andrew
