Was chasing tyres this week and found a set of Dunlops to run...only to find my contract in India has me in a ditch somewhere never to be seen or heard of again. Might try and make the Maserati day a few weeks earlier

[Syphon]

Have just sent off payment for membership renewal so I can try and be at this event.

Bec, get up WRX club to update with entries so I know how much time I have to pay for this

Would really love to make this one

[Russman]

Troy. So you took the job!

I'll probably be at this. Havn't given it much thought though.

[BBGTR]

I'm in

[vsute]

so am I

so cant wait for this .... i have the itch

[Scotsman]

Can anyone predict if it's going to rain or not? Sandown in the rain is no fun! Unlike Winton in the rain which is 100% fun.

[Sandeep]

so if you're a newb to circuit racing like me (only done 3 deca events so far but have no circuit experience) should I put myself in the driver training group? i am just worried that I will get swamped by all the faster cars and I don't want to get in anyone's way on the track... but i still want to do the whole event... any recommendations?

[femno]

I did DT at sandown, its great, as you can take people along with you to learn the lines etc (Thanks Andrew )

The only thing is that you get SHIT ALL time compared to everyone else and that really really sucks and is unfair!

So dont listen to anyone who tells you that you still get heaps of time on the track...

Hmmmmm......If that was the last WRX club day, you should have had exactly the same amount as time as everyone else.

The only part of the day that Driver Training guys miss out on is the super sprints (which is a very valid exclusion).

As far as practice and sessions go though, you should have had exactly the same number of sessions as all the other groups.

And technically..... you get more seat time, coz it takes you guys longer to get around each lap

If you feel disadvantaged like that, you should have approached the Clerk of Course on the day and explained how you felt, he could have either cleared it up for you, or fixed the problem. If you want to, you could still shoot the Motorsport Director of the WRX Club an email explaining your concerns etc.

[Belsil80]

dont not do DT because you get less track time, which is marginally less anyway... we have seen a number of people write their cars off by jumping in the deep end when the probably shouldnt have...

also, if you and your instructor are confident that you can go solo then you just let the clerk of course know and you will be able to drive on your own so its really the way to go.

[Sandeep]

okay, i will most likely be doing driver training then. how much is the driver training entry? i'll have to see if i can get out of work though. thanks for the advice
