So I'm thinking about entering. My question is to those who know my car and my driving abilities.

Would I be anywhere near the pointy end of the clubsprint class to make it worthwhile? Or should I keep the semi's on and just get slaughtered in open class?

I mainly want to go up there just for the fun of racing OP. Not too serious about it although I do enjoy racing on semi's. I suppose I would only do clubsprint class if I was going to be competitive.

If I was going for clubsprint what tyres are most people running? I've never bought good road tyres for my skyline.

thanks.

Edit: I've done 1:39s at Winton and 1:28s on 2nd hand semis if that's any indication. Also I've never even been to OP so it will be a new track for me.

Its purely related to the quality of cars. I am expecting to get slaugtered in Open or Clubsprint... it will make no difference. At least in Open with good tyres i find out what times my car can do.

So if your main motivation is to be competitive then sadly a GTSt wont do the trick in either class. You need an EVO with 30K spent on it or a GTR with 30k spent on it to be competitive in either class

But wont stop me from having bucket loads of loud fun!

purely do it for the fun. unless you want to race your wallet...

at the end of the day you will have a good idea where you stand but there is no chance the likes of us in our own cars will compete with the likes of those who were given drives last year.

avtar change hey troy?? a sign the rb20 is a memory??

Hey Guys and Girls,

Super lap is getting closer i have booked my flight's.

But i don't know where to stay can any one help me, prefer to stay close to oran park.

Around $200 a night.

Thanks.

Not sure if this map will work, but check out where Oran Park is and then maybe search wotif.com.au for accomodation in some of the larger towns near there.

Could someone please shed more ligfht on this event? Sorry i'm a noob to all these events and have just completed my application form for SAU-VIc and am awaiting a reply

Is it just an open Track day for SAU members or is it open to the General Public? Do we just do timed laps around the circuit and see what the best times are for each class?

or is it a race type atmosphere with qualifying then a final race at the end of the day?

And just lasty - how far is oran park drive from melvourne?

sorry for hte noob wuestions but my car is pretty much track ready and i would like to find out as much infomration as possible so that i can can compete in as many track days as possible.

Thanks in advance, guys!

If you're coming up and stopping halfway, there's a good place to stay in Tarcutta (which is about halfway). The return trip will take you 8hrs near the speed limit

Thanks mate, I normally stop at Gundagai for the night whenever I head up for this or WSID meets, done it a few times now, the return trip isn't too bad in one stint at night because the roads are quiet.

thanks everyone for the replies and incredibly informative information. After reading all of that-i dont think my car nor i am preparedto race at that sort of level just yet. Have done a couple track days at Calder for both grip and drift and that was going back a few years.

So may have to give superlap amiss this year and go to f1 instead. In saying that tho, i will aim to makeit there next year after doing a f ew more tracks days with the new turbo and suspension setup.

so thanks guys for the info, and to all those doing the superlap - good luck and represent for the Vic click :bunny:

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
