yeah thats all good man.

im waiting on a reply from the phillip island website about alot of stuff including price.

even if it cost 12000 and theres 30 ppl thats still only 400 each man i think thats pretty sweet.

hopefully i will have the reply by monday and we can elliminate speculation etc and start the planning and booking phase of this day.

thanks

The big question they will ask is have you insurance..( public liability )

And you will pay more than car clubs. And you will need to pay in full when you book.

expect to pay 16,000 for a weekend day...

Don't you need to be CAMS affiliated to be able to run something at Phillip Island?

some of us have them from participating in winton drift days, some ppl will have to get them though. its not really that difficult

cool ill confirm the price when i get a reply.

+ medical at least $2000

what the f**k for, ive been to winton, heatcote and sandown for track days and never had to get a medical test.

hhrm wonder what weekdays would cost - sounds expensive - but im sure you would have plenty of fun ;)

i dont care if we go week end or week day really, yeah definately be fun as long as those prices dont rise too much more lol.

Not to forget .

If 1 or more of your guests has a OFF and does some damage. You get the bill.

And they know how to charge .

All that PI supplies is the track for the basic hire, marshals, equipment, timing, medical, recovery, food, insurance, etc. are all extra expenses to be had on top of the basic hire of a facility. You will have to prove that you have a $20,000,000.00 public liability insurance policy that covers a motorsport event in place before you can hire the circuit (if they have a free weekend, and with the MotoGP and PI500 coming up they will not have many available)

If think its going to be a lot more work than you think and how are u going to cough up the 20k for the track.

Easier for you to just book all your mates into a track day.

People have no idea the work the behind the scenes guys do for free. I'm not one but am mates with most of the SAU Motorsport commitee. Even the fact you didn't get the Medics answer says your in over your head.

Plus I wouldn't imagine you'll get away with doing skids there. Its an International circuit.

Too much work for a day of fun...the work alone will outweigh the fun you get from it. Organise to fill up some spots at a track day you'll have more fun doing it this way.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
