Cams Media Release Today

CAMS and COAG open up new possibilities for Australian circuits

CAMS Press Release

28 Aug 2003

CAMS Chief Executive Officer, Dr Rob Nethercote, announced today that the range of motor racing events run under CAMS will be expanded by the end of the year to include new vogue events such as burnouts and drifting, an initiative welcomed by several Australian circuit owners.

This new initiative comes as a result of a series of constructive meetings of the Circuit Operators Advisory Group (COAG), in association with CAMS, over the last 12 months.

Circuits holding a CAMS track licence will be able to obtain a CAMS permit to run activities such as road safety initiatives, beginner and advanced driver training, drifting events, burn-out competitions, cruisin’ and go-to-whoa events.

Chairman of COAG, Mr Adrian Chambers, general manager of the highly successful Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia, supported Dr Nethercote’s announcement.

“The ability for us to run this new wave of events opens many commercial doors for Australian circuits. These types of events will be a great addition to our motor sport calendar,” said Mr Chambers.

Dr Nethercote also believes that this initiative will be of benefit to sport development and road safety.

“These events create a great opportunity for the further development of motor sport,” said Dr Nethercote. “It gives us the ability to cast the net wider to find young motor sport talent and also to enhance opportunities for the motor sport community to extend its support to road safety initiatives.”

The latest meeting of COAG took place on 26 August 2003 and was attended by COAG Chairman, Adrian Chambers (Barbagallo Raceway), and members, Jon Davison (Sandown Raceway), Geoff Arnold (Eastern Creek Raceway), Jeff Boulos (Oran Park) and a number of CAMS representatives.

COAG represents all circuits and reports to the Australian Motor Racing Commission and the Board of CAMS.

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
