I got my entry in. I haven't been to PI before, I paid the full $210 but is it worth doing the Driver Training instead or will I be allowed to get someone experienced to sit next to me and show me around in my first session and then do the rest of the day solo?

I'm in too :)

Gunna be a big contingency of WTA cars there. Big Red, Chasers Evo and maybe more.

Also MSCA have a day on sunday I might have a crack at as well.

Sandeep prob not a bad idea to do driver training. I think you can go on your own later in the day.

I want to do a Sandown first so it's closer to Melb in case I break it... cbf towing it myself until I have my own trailer

same boat

but if i do decide to do Driver training, wont push car much (if at all)

In as well. Busting my PI cherry! Pretty excited!

Whats the status of your thing Snowy? What are the boys up to?

Fixing/upgrading the gearbox. E85 has taken the car past the stock internals limits.

You can see the clutches were giving up even at 3/4 throttle - until it finally broke something at the end there.

I emailed Dirk from WRX club and he recommended I do 1 or 2 sessions with the DT group with an instructor (Richo or Martin?) and then can do the rest of the day solo since DT sessions aren't timed.

Sweet im in. Coming down from Brisbane to have a bash around in my car for the first time in a few months now. Cant wait.

Will be a good cance to see how the hankook RS3's go as well.

Hope the weather holds up!!

This will be my first track day, but I would also like to have a timed lap.

Does that mean that I have to pay two fees?

Driver Training $190

Standard Entry Fee $210.

Total: $400?

Can you do both or just one?

I'm happy to just do the driver training, but I would like to also get a timed lap - so what should I do?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
