Sh1t! That time already. This year is flying

Just looking - that PIARC weekend in July also falls on the same weekend as the SAU (WRX) event at Winton. And that's the only visit to Winton we have for the year. So I'd suggest finding another date - even if it is early 08?

Sorry guys, my bad. Mistook the Island Majic as a sprint weekend..

Oh well, looks like early 08....

I am waiting for reply to my email sent to PI Sprint Sectretary yesterday to see if any other days or events or anything we may be able to work in with. What about L2S private practice days?

John,

PI is..... difficult to get. They have a lot of Bike ride days but other than the PIARC weekends (which usually is only 3-4 each year) there is no real track days at PI other than various club sprints. And even though everyone loves going to PI you will find most clubs will only go to PI once a year due to the costs involved. If you look at all the Vic club calanders there is hardly another track day down there for the whole year. But I also think the WRX Club who we run with were only granted one date this year even though they might have wanted to run a 2nd round.

Pretty much to hire out the track for a day will cost you around $20K for everything you need anyways. So then you need 100 people at $200 to break even. And THEN you will have the 75dB noise limit placed upon you as only the PIARC weekend have the 95dB limit granted to them.

As I said - PI is difficult.

Im told with the amount of bikes and testing that bikes and V8s do their...well club car days are not really on the radar like it is at other smaller curcuits. I have no wheard 3 people tell me that plans are a foot for F1 to be testing there...they just need ot modify their pits to accomodate. So im pretty sure McLaren will priority over us hacks.

Yuck cost more and harder to get to than Eastern Creek. Eastern Creek have HEAPS of track days at least one a month.

What was the track day you guys did at P I the Sat before Easter as not on their callender or are you guys special?

Yep John - that is only the events held by PIARC the club.

If you want to know when other clubs are holding events there the only option is to go to each club individually and find out if and when they are holding an event at PI.

I know there is an MSCA event (which you don't want to go to) and the PIARC weekend in July. I don't know of any other club events this year.

The clubs I would recommend going to a day with (WRX, Maserati, AROC, HSV and FPV) have all had their event at the Island for the year already.

OK and thought so and do you happen to know websites or I just search and find. Email me maybe Andrew if have any info. I am keen and lot of others to get to this track again later in the year for a big track day. You guys are so lucky to have this awesome track.
