Hi Dust Brother,

I'm pretty sure Rally ® and Circuit © licenses are seperate systems.

You can come to the open track days that we get along to a fair bit, these only need standard drivers license. For wakefield open practice days you just pay about $30 for a wakefield license (for a year). For open practice at Oran Park or Eastern Creek you need a C3 or higher license.

Dragon18, circuit racing license (C3 and up) require an "Observed License Test", you can either take this seperatley or as part of a 1 or 2 day race driving course. Once youve done that you have to attend a flags lecture, medical and pay up! Oh, and you have to join a CAMS affiliated club like SAU NSW. Check www.cams.com.au for full details.

Hey guys/gals

New to the forum having just sold my MX5 and bought a 33gts-t series II. I have a 2NS and have done about 30 track days both in Vic and NSW over the past 2 years.

Zane, is that the zane from the MX forum?? Met you up at wakefield last year when the vic MX5 guys came up.

Anyway, the reason I wanted to get onto this forum is to find out if there is a club with a few skylines in Vic that does track days. I am currently a member of the MX5club vic and maserati clubs but would love to play with some other skylines......

P.S Very excited, my first day on the track in 'Brutus' is on the 4th Oct at Phillip Island with the HSV club. Got new track tyres and pads and figure why not get used to having 3 times the power of an MXC5 on one of the trickiest, fastest and potentially dangerous tracks in Oz!!! Ah, turn one, I can't wait.....

I have a National Rally Licence.

Dust Brother... the NRL permits you to compete in all events that were covered by the old L2 (now L2S). This includes (but is not limited to) all "non-speed" events (motorkhanas, night runs, etc), khanacrosses, sprints, hillclimbs, Touring Road Events, National rallies (obviously)... just about everything you might reasonably want to do without getting in to door-banging.

If you're in SE Qld or NE NSW (or further afield - we get entries from all over), check my event on 24 July: http://www.queenslandchallenge.com

As for costs... a CAMS L2S will do most people and they are as cheap as chips. Hell, an NRL is only $132!

L2S requires no observed test but these tests are a dawdle anyway. They are more concerned with your ability to behave responsibly and take instruction from officials.

I have a L2S licence. This year I am competing in the MSCA sprint events through the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club. I'm hoping to compete in next years GP Rally and some other tarmak rallies that require the L2S only. So much fun. :rant:

    • It’s not driver training though, it’s just an online questionnaire and $65 
    • Almost certainly no. In Vic they have this crazily restrictive set of rules for mods that is usually interpreted as "no more than 2 modifications to the intake system". And they're not real hot on upgraded turbos at all, let alone high mounts. That means if you fit a bigger (particularly front mount) intercooler (which is, of course, almost impossible to go without) then you're already down to one other mod allowed. You'll really benefit from hearing from someone from Vic who knows the real state of play. Even better, speak to an automotive mods certifying engineer from Vic. You can actually read the rules from the govco websites yourself, too.
    • Well, I'm not clicking on a link to f**king bookface (never have, never will), so I can't really know what the complaint here is about, but.... There's nothing particularly wrong with forcing people to have a higher license category to drive super/hypercars. Note that the laws are not about modified cars - only listed standard cars, because there are not supposed to be cars modified enough to meet the law's category limits anyway. If you have a modified car that falls into those power limits you're already in trouble anyway. What is wrong is the bullshit on-line "test" to get the upgrade, instead of any actual work and training.
    • Meh Don't have Facebook anymore but watched a YouTube about it, they also talked about them not being able to use and "sports" modes, not really sure how they would enforce that apart from logging the Db for the cars that have exhaust valve activation in sports mode Apart from all the high end sports cars and supercars that make the sort of power they are talking about standard, I cannot see it bothering anyone else, unless of course road side tests now include having a dyno and scales on site to test the power output vs weight What is it? 500hp per ton? And if the only additional cost is $60 or so, as the video stated, I cannot see that being a war stopper for the people that outlay a few hundred thousand dollars on a performance car In fact, I see it would be a ego boost for some, because they have a "special" drivers licence for a "special"person with a "special" car And if I did have a modified car that made over the limit, there's no way in hell I would apply for a "special" licence, I could see the authorities checking your licence against your rego, so if old mate applied for a licence, but owns a, say, R33 Skyline, that may trigger an inspection of said car as to why, and how, that old mate has a R33 that would fit the bill of making over 500hp per ton Again, meh, not something I believe will be a real issue to 99.9% of people
