hey guys this would be my first club sprint day, would I be better off signing up for the driver training? Will there be instructors at the track? Do I still get the same amount of laps? Sorry I was going to ask these questions on the WRX forums but it seems my username hasn't been activated yet.

I haven't done a circuit driver course either and don't want to be getting in everbody's way if I sign up for the sprints... am I being paranoid?

[Let Me Drive]

mate the best thing id to do the driver training cos then at least you get to see what the track like and not have the problem of some of the fast car come up from behind and you blocking them and them getting pissed .

so my advice would be to do the training.

Looks like there will be a few training so you wont feel out of place at all.

also if you need help with anything there are many people who will help.

[NickR33]

hey thanks for the reply... sounds like the driver training is the way to go, don't want to be trying to find my line and looking in the mirrors at the same time!

I am assuming I don't have to list an expected lap time if I am doing the driver training?

[Let Me Drive]

from what i know you dont have to put a lap time down cos you havenot dune one. lol

[Downforce]

Nick - Lap time estimates are for grouping purposes... all DT entrants will be in the same group, so no need to put any time on the entry form.

how late can you sign up for this?

I havent recieved any info from SAU or CAMS regarding my licence i signed up for at the drift day last weekend, so dunno my CAMS LIC#, also have 2 things to do to my car to make it track ready, and dont wanna pay an then not be able to run due to not passing scrutineering.

if I'm not at this one, i'll be at the next one. Best I do DT first go too, as havent done a track day on 4 wheels before.

[Roy]

Its up to you but i dont think driver training is a must. Its not a bad idea, i took Snowman with me my first time out...it was really good as after listening carfully to every word he said i knew exactly what not to do

I think its a good idea as you at least get some pointers on the layout at the track.

And at the end of the day, even the seemingly simple things like how to turn the steering wheel, we are all different and whatever is comfortable to you...but there are some bad habits that ppl bring to the track which may catch you out at speed.

When you paid SAU for CAMS license you would have got a CAMS 30 days receipt and that will do.

It is a wrx club requirement that you do DT if you have not done any track work previously.

[Roy]

Fair enought then....jjust ignore me then...im best left int he corner rambling to myself playing with my Hot Wheels 32:)

[NickR33]

hehe get back in your corner Roy!

Cheers guys DT is the go... sending entry today... would be good if there was a direct deposit option on the entry form tho:/

[Aaron34]

V8 Supercars 2 and 3 have the track. It's very realistic.

[Roy]

lol, not you too. Snowie talks about practicing on the PS

I dont believe in computer games, well nto since Leisure Suit Larry

[NickR33]

I wish they would hurry up and bring V8 Supercars out on Xbox 360 so I can start practising!

[phunky_monkey]

Entry confirmed, I'm excited!!

I wasnt given any receipt, I wasnt given anything at all

[Bec]

Berin - PM or call Chris.

He has all the CAMS forms - your receipt should be there, so we could bring it to Sandown if you need it.

[Roy]

LOL, if only this guy was in a GTR. Still doesnt change the fact this is what GTR drivers do in their spare time
