29th May Oran Park Gp Track Day

[N1GTR]

The greater Sydney area really needs a racetrack with a few loooong straights and big, open, sweeping corners so the mega HP cars can really stick it to the 'light atmo car' boys....Fatz

Get cracking on it then

[benm]

We do, it's called Eastern Creek!

[yogi000]

Yogi,

Im not sure, he id run one about 3 months ago, but he lost $5-8K so I dont know how many more he will be running. I dont think he has booked any more days at this stage. I guess if he does not get enough support for these events moving forward he will have to stop running them AKA Moto concepts.

according to the last newsletter i got from aaron, he has oran park GP days planned for may 29, july 6 and september 1.

[Wink]

whens the last day to get into this?

[OZ GTR35]

Wink,

Until Aaron lets us know the event is almost full, so if the numbers are low you can jump on almost on the day

[fatz]

lol watchout atom s13 will kill you all

ive got slicks now

[Kero]

mmmm slicks... mmmmmm

[Wink]

Just wondering guys, down the back straight will I be hitting 180+?

I've got my speed limiter still on but I don't want it affecting my times.

My car is a 190rwkw gtst.

[OZ GTR35]

Wink,

Most GTS-t's will break the 180 limit, but it will only affect your times by a second or two.

[Wink]

Hmm I think I may have to cut good old wire 53 on the ECU then.

EDIT: Or maybe not.. Love them autos!

definately not! there is no back straight at OP. well there is a short one between turns 3 and 4 but you will be lucky to hit 120 there.

depends how good your entry is onto the pit straight as to whether or not you hit 180. plus in my experience mostly the limiters wont cut in until an indicated 190-195. i wouldnt worry about it mate. it should be the least concern if this is your first track day.

[Wink]

Is there timing for this day?

[OZ GTR35]

No its the olny thing missing, but I am trying to organise a couple of transponders

[Wink]

You could do the timing yourself using a stopwatch or will that not be allowed?

[OZ GTR35]

No probs with stop watches

[Kero]

He will worry about if its his first track day... You will be hitting about 180 right when you need to hit the first kink/turn and if your not expecting to hit the rev limiter you can shit your pants and at that speed you want to aleast be aware of it.

When your times look shit, its also an excellent excuse as to why you times are poor... Just go with the story that you hit the speed limiter half way down the straight and that you should be 3-4 seconds quicker

[Kero]

No probs with stop watches

Transponters are known for weighing down cars and giving shit times... Stop watches are much more accurate

[Beer Baron]

yeah true, but i dont know that an auto 33 will even hit 180, and being first time out he will be hard on the brakes bro! on the brakes! at the kink

good point though, just be aware of it wink, but dont let it stop you.
