Hey guys,

Anyone been to these events?

I never bothered to check them out but I noticed that are fairly well priced for $150 weekends and $120 weekdays. Just wondering if anyone knows how much track time you would normally get?

Also if anyone would be keen on coming up to one with me in the coming months.

Yes, have been to a couple.

It's very loosely controlled. Nil scrutiny, no real street car groupings, just street, race, open wheelers, sometimes carts, etc. obviously need license and helmet, but that's about it.

Get 5+ sessions in, being about 15 mins ea. nice in the arvos when they crowd thins out. I go on weekdays because of the traffic. It gets pretty busy out there, and there can be some really slow cars and drivers.

Cheapest way to go to Wakefield.

Sounds pretty awesome!

I had lots of fun at the Skyline Nationals and wanted to get out on the track again.

Going to get my temps under control first so I can make the most of it.

I'll just call in sick for the day and head to the track haha.

From what it said on the website you can only take passengers if they have a license as well.

Did this get enforced when you guys went?

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
