29th May Oran Park Gp Track Day

[fatz]

hahah pete we saw yuor lock ups after trying to flat thru the kink.....skylines are just too fast to pull that trick off without great tyres.

but the mighty woos used to be flat thru there, led to some HGE offs there sometimes

sadly my balls are bigger than my skills ... thus the constant lock ups and spearing of the end of the track

but like all good drivers im going to blame teh car...

hi never done a track day but am interested,what would tyre wear be like on road tyres ,would i need a new set after the day?

slight mods with 290rwkw & ohlins suspension all round

not aiming to drive the tyres off it, but have heard that the track eats street tyres!

YLD CHLD,

For your first time out I would not worry too much about Tyres or Power, just dont turn up with shitty tyres as they are the only thing holding you on the road. If you put the recomended pressure say 36PSI you wont get any issues and maybe use 500km worth of tread and only do 200Km on the speedo. You are driving a GTR so endless wheel spin will not be an issue. Trust me you have many other things to learn and you car is well set up for a first timer.

guys this sounds great. I have been planning to do this sort of driver training/ track day for a while now. Never been on the track before though. Will there be at least some beginner level training with the instructors?

Overall the day sounds great ill arrange day off and send application if all goes well.

TutsR32,

Aaron or one of the other instructors takes all first timers out driving to show you the inital basics, you then get to drive with an instructor to apply the basics. First timers normally get as much instruction as they need. For example my wife had an instructor on her first day, every lap she did prior to lunch was with someone beside her. There will be more then enough.
