This is our first sprint day for the year and a great chance to see how fast your car actually is.

This is a full track day.

Practice laps from 8:30 am through 11:30 am will be able to be purchased from QR on the day, however this session will be on the national circuit NOT the sprint track.

At 12:00, we will be briefed and then onto the track for our laps.

Queensland Raceway

Saturday the 6th of June 2014

Time:
Be there by 11:30 for a 12:00 drivers briefing

You will need a timing chip which can be either bought from QR or rented for the day. They cost $80 to purchase and can be used at any timed event held by QR. You can rent them for $20 for the day with a $60 deposit which will be returned to you at the end of the day. You will also need to hold or purchase a racing licence from QR.

Guys, I've never taken my car on the track before; is an event like this suitable for absolute beginners or can anyone recommend something else that would be more appropriate?

It is the beginners entry into proper timed racing. It depends how comfortable you are with how your car handles at speed. Happy laps light be a good idea first to get a feel for it before pushing the limits but qr as a track is one of the most forgiving tracks in Australia.

Sprints are great because the only person you're going up against is yourself. You run around at a decent pace, come back, see what your times were like and then go out again - that's basically it. Gives you the opportunity to identify where to brake, where and when to open it up etc.

If you know Phil Sutty with the Black R35, he loves these things and can give you more insight. The guys have a good day out and enjoy their day. You will need a helmet, long sleeve shirt and pants etc.

Sprint days? Doubtful at this time, we had to cancel this one as we only had 4 people interested. Next time we will just be joining as a group and not paying for own session.

    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
