You could start by joining a CAMS affiliated car club. To check which clubs are affiliated with CAMS check their website www.cams.com.au The website also has a lot of other useful information about c.ub racing including licencing etc.

Once you join a club they will have all the information you need

Queensland Raceway has a series called TopGear where you can race pretty much anything, but its not something you'd jump into without experience.

Saturday and Wednesday arvo sprints are popular, you can race anything that's safe and you're only racing against the clock in groups of people with similar experience. Cost is about $90 plus $55 for a yearly AASA licence.

yes the sprints is the best way to get started in motor sport. go to www.queenslandraceway.com.au and you will find an entry form for the sprints and the calendar to see when the next event is on. the next one is in early September.

Apart from CAMS licence you need a roadworthy vehicle, cash to use the track, helmet, long sleeve shirt & pants, grab some octane booster too.

Also make sure your tyres aren't worn too bad before you head out. The rest you'll be briefed before they let you onto the track anyway.

Have fun!

I wouldnt be using octane booster, no need unless you like changing your plugs
