Cars:

All AWD cars are welcome to enter the event. The drivers will preferably have had previous track experience.

There will only be 36 Cars in total divided as 4 groups of 9 cars. This will maximize the chance for best lap results.

Classes:

There will be two classes:

Your tyre type (make and model) must be submitted on application.

The Event:

The event will comprise of three rounds. The final round will determine the AWD champion with only the top 5 drivers of each category competing.

The ultimate 4WD car and driver combination will be determined by all three of the important elements that make a racer.

1) Quickest Lap: The quickest lap in qualifying is required to take pole position.

2) Race Win: Completing all laps required to take the podium. To finish first, you must first finish.

3) Shoot Out: The ability to perform under pressure.

Each of these elements will be tested in the format below with the final winner determined in a shoot out.

ROUND 1 : Clubman Circuit

Two sets of 5 laps. (1 warm up, 5 hot laps, 1 cool down)

Drivers will attempt to put down their quickest lap and a race win.

All 10 laps will be tallied for the race result.

Points:

10 – Quickest lap, 7 – Second quickest lap, 5 – Third quickest lap

10 to 1 points for the top 10 race finishers.

ROUND 2 : National Circuit

Two sets of 3 laps. (1 warm up, 3 hot laps, 1 cool down)

Drivers will attempt to put down their quickest lap and a race win.

All 6 laps will be tallied for the race result.

10 to 1 points for the top 10 race finishers.

ROUND 3 : Sprint Circuit – Top 5 cars from each category.

One set of 3 laps. (1 warm up, 3 hot laps, 1 cool down)

The event leads to the final battle between the fastest 5 drivers in each category.

A three lap “Time Attack” to put down the fastest lap and take victory.

The top three finishers will be hailed AWD champions for 2007.

Application:

You must submit your tyre make and model for the event and car details.

The event cost is $150. Payment details below. As always the first in to pay the booking fee will secure the spots.

If you are representing a workshop, please send me their details as well and I will put it up with your car.

It is good for the track day community to know which workshops are supporting our passion.

This is going to be a fantastic event. All spectators are welcome.

Don't be so sure. You have to make it to the end of the event to win and anyone can suffer unexpected reliability and setup problems !!!

Consistency will determine the final players.

Wishful thinking there :O

The cars at the pointy are not only quickest, but better setup, more consistent and more reliable. While I think the dial-in and least spread events would have been won by these guys anyway, at least the rest of the field had a chance.

From my point of view I have zero chance of winning anything and will get more track time in the morning so I'm debating which event to participate in. For the guys at the front of the field and from a spectator point of view I'm sure they want to see the fastest car win.

Of course this is just my opinion and open to debate. :)

Hey IanB you are welcome to compete in the Street class. Send me an email with confirmation of your deposit.

Willo, the last two track days both Russell and Cam had issues with things like brakes, engine, tyres, cooling etc and would not have made it to the final round on points. Those guys are so fast because they are pushing the limits of their machinery.

keqs, that is a good point. I will come up with some prizes to make it more interesting. Give me a couple of days.

baboo, sure is. Just send me an email to lock in your booking. I have changed the format so that the numbers in each class and the types of AWD can be a bit dynamic.

IanB, its a $30 deposit to lock in a booking. (I thought you were on the mailing list ??)

The standard morning session still has spots as well for anyone who just wants to come out an do the normal track day.

Paul

Don't be scared about the event. It will be run to the format of all my track days. The racing is against the clock as always with all the on track safety rules applying.

The GTR turnout so far is huge. The street class is thin on starters though, so if your thinking of having a shot, book in now. There are about 10 spots left.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
