Advan/yokohama Trackday - Winton

[mutex]

Sounds good. Plenty of laps to be had + plenty of petrol to be consumed.

You can have a second driver use the car on the sessions your allocated for $0 cost, so my Dad's going to have a drive.

Bring on the cold (but dry) weather for the turbos!

This is the email I got:

Hi Everyone!

Thank you very much for booking in for this weekend’s Advan Trackday at Winton Raceway – it’s looking to be an awesome day.

The aim for the day is to be relaxed and full of fun laps for all. Here is the itinerary for the day to ensure you don’t miss out on anything!

08.00: Gate opens
08.15: Sign in desk opens – come see us in the scrutineering/track marshal office to sign in
08.50: Driver’s Briefing
09.00: Track open
17.00: Track closes

Groupings – Depending on the final number of entrants, we will either be running 3 or 4 groups of 15 minute sessions.

Preparation – All “normal” preparations should be considered, i.e. Long sleeve clothing, helmets, a working car with no leaks etc. Fire extinguishers are not compulsory.

Driver Training – As a little surprise for you all, we will have John Boston available all day for personal driver training at no extra cost! He can ride passenger with you or drive your car if you like.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or phone!

See you on Saturday!

Emailed them today and they were willing to accept my entry today - sorted.

But as per normal, can't come up Friday so early Saturday start for me.

This is the first one, though I'd hope to see a couple next year.

See you all in the morning :-)

Done and dusted . Had a blast.

Ad08R's are an amazing tyre. Gave so much confidence.

1.33.38 on a street tyre.

First time at Winton without ABS, though new splitter and wing mounting made up for that.

Juliette, how'd the R's feel on the BRZ?

[llama_au]

I LOVE LOVE LOVED them. So much grip.

What an awesome day, thanks Advan

Natsoft says Richo is dayum faaaast.

[llama_au]

Natsoft is correct. Richo is a machine.

Natsoft fails to mention:

Top day, kudos to advan/circuitclub for organising.

Weather wasn't ideal but plenty to time to try this and that.

Just wish my cv boot held up so I could burn up some laps with their whizzy new tyres they were loaning out. Next time!

Great photos

Thanks for pics martin. Lol: you travel so much, have you checked the camera timestamps :-)

Due to gasket issue robbing me of a few sessions, didn't get a chance to make use of Andrew from traction tyres being on site but did get a brilliant session with John Boston from www.trackschool.com.au here's hoping Advan Australia / circuit club can become a regular calendar fixture

awesome photos and a great day of track.

- apologies to the silver skyline I held up on one of the laps (in the hairpins), I didn't even notice you come up behind. Hopefully it wasn't on your hotlap
