Winton Motor Raceway Pty. Ltd. will be conducting the second Fun Day for 2007 on Sunday 8 July.

Cost: $25.00

8.15am Scrutineering

9.30am Driver/Passenger Briefing

10.00am Track Time Starts

5.00pm Track Time Finishes

Following scrutineering and briefing, the format of the day’s activities will commence with a 3 x 20 minute observation sessions for drivers to become familiar with the track and flow of activities. These sessions will be followed by a 30 minute session where passengers are allowed in the cars.

Following these sessions the structure of activities throughout the day will be 30 minute sessions for driver only, followed by driver and passenger sessions.

Please note: speed restrictions – all drivers are limited to 80% of the potential of both the car and driver – THIS IS NOT A RACE.

Special Saturday Test & Tune Day

Winton Motor Raceway will run a special Test and Tune (Open Practice) Day on 30th June. This will be the only opportunity to test on a weekend date this year. The Friday Test and Tune on 29th June is still scheduled so it will be an ideal opportunity for Interstate competitors to do a 2 day test session and make the most of the time available.

The cost of the day is $120 and participants must have either a AASA, CAMS or MA Licences. AASA licences can be purchased on the day for $50.

Enquiries can be directed to Winton Motor Raceway on (03) 5766 4235

Kind regards

Well i will be going.

went to one end of last year and loved it, apart from the lack of grip, understear and brake fade. all should be fixed tho.

so whos going. if we have enough people ill orgonise a cruise up there.

chears brentt

it gets busy but you still get a good run. If you have a skyline with decent power and suspension you'll be in the fastest 20% of cars there. Good value for the price.

Last time I was there I only got passed by about 4 or 5 cars the whole time I was out there.

Oh it's not for me, I've got mates who are/will be interested.

VERY interested.

I'm saving my car & money for another :P Phillip Island, much as I'm starting to sound like a broken record about P.I.

(With big rear wing, 20kw more & a decent few laps, I'm thinkin high 1:51's) :P

yep for $25 you can race as much as you like and dont req cam or other type licence. you can rock up any time of the day (i asked last time as a mate of mine came late and they said he just had to read the rules in front of an offical).

it can be bussy in the morning till about 2 but after that every body starts going home.

i req you bring the following.

brake fluid

coolant

tools

simi slicks if you can afford them.

fuel, do not buy it from the track go in to town as the track will most likly now be $2/l for 98ron fuel. i made this mestake last time and payed $98 for a full tank. :laughing-smiley-014: .

would also req you get there early so you can get one of the under conver car spots.

well seens we have a few people going im going to orgnise a cruise for this for the way up.

see you there

The next Winton Fun Day is scheduled for Sunday July 8th 2007.

The Fun Day is a "come and try" day and is designed to allow the average motorist access to a real race track under controlled conditions.

Cost:

Is $25 per driver and $25 per passenger

Programme:

Normally be there by 8.00 for scrutineering, but this can take some time.

Drivers Briefing at around 9.00 - 9.30

Driver only on track for 30 minutes sighting laps, then

Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then

Driver only on track for 30 minutes, then

Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then

Driver only on track for 30 minutes, and so on all day until about 4.30

Requirements:

Bring your car, an Australian Standard Approved helmet, the helmet can be either open or closed face, fire proof clothes that cover you from neck to ankle to wrist (cotton or wool clothes are good). Runners are not the preferred footwear, Blundstones boots (or similar) or any leather type shoe is preferable

Make sure your car has no oil/coolant leaks, fitted seat belts, battery is secure, wheels nuts are tights, no loose items in the car or boot.

The Car does not have to be registered, but has to road/race worthy. Tyres need to be in good nick, tread depth is not normally a problem unless wire is poking out.

There are normally no checks done of lights except for brake lights except if it is an overcast, rainy day, then there may be checks for lights as well as wipers.

Tow bar tongues and bull bars must be removed.

You do not need to have a race licence, club licence or indeed a car licence abut you must be over 16 to drive or be a passenger.

And very importantly, bring a smart, alert attitude, coz there is some very fast cars out there, whilst it is not a race meeting, some people bring race cars and we push them hard to behave appropriately around first timers.

Food and drinks are available through a canteen

I just wanna say great work Big Trev! I attended the fun day earlier on in the year and have since moved on to getting a CAMS and participating in club events.

This is a great starting point for anyone wanting to get into trackdays and racing, and ill be back for the coming fun day cant wait!

Thanks again!

sorry about that dude, I did a search and nothing came up. I am the bloke that does the drivers briefing and runs the fun day, actually I should say used to, I am there just doing safety now (and cutting a few laps in my car), no need to get hyped up about it, you don't own the event.

No need to thank me femno, thank Winton, they have been doing it for years, it has just got more popular in recent times.

Does it really matter Brent? I mean honestly its not that hard for me to click "merge posts"

:D

Plus Trev posted a bit more detail than you did, so the more info the better.

yea true, i just put up the info that i recived from winton race way. fell free to merge posts

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
