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!

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?

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!

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

    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
