Hi Guys,

First of all i apologise if i am posting in the wrong section, I just joined this site this morning as i am SERIOUSLY contemplating buying a track ready r32. though first i have a few questions to ask which will help clear things up for me.

1)How much does it cost to enter a track day and what are the sign up fees? I have been told that a club circuit for 4 hours at Eastern creek is $230. Is this true?

2)Which CAMs licence will I need to drive in club days?

3)How often do race days run weekends as I work Mon - Fri.

4)Besides Eastern creeek and wakefield are there any other race tracks in NSW?

welcome,

the best licence to get to start off is the CAMS L2S. about 95 bucks

you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club (easy - skylines austrlia NSW)unsure of costs.

open days are cheap - but open days arent timed. they can be anywhere from 120-160?

if you do a supersprint entry is anywhere from 160 - 220.

there is also marulan driver training track which have open days too.

but EC and Wakie are the main tracks and bathurst is open for big events, some regularirty and the bathurst light car club have hill climbs and supersprints on the mountain.

best way to get into it would be do some driver trianing days where instructors will give you plenty of tips

check the NSW events section of the forums here

3) = I've got 11 weekend track days booked this year just at Wakefield Park between 2 clubs. Forget about doing a weekend track day at Eastern Creek, it won't happen.

If you want to get some track time on weekends, best try supersprints or similar, they are always on weekends. As far as costs go, trust me the entry fees and license costs will be a very minor part of the equation, almost not work thinking about relative to running the car.
