The new track looks cool.. Looks pretty uneven though! Looks like it'd be a challenge at high speed

[scathing]

Yep. The road itself is smooth, but its on the side of a hill so there's a lot of gradient change.

There'll be no timing on the day (the MDTC guys don't permit it, anyway) and the instructor:driver ratio will be higher. It's about learning, not going flat out.

Whats the whole teamred and team white thing?

[nIsMo86]

I'll be there at this one...i booked ages ago.

Circuit Club is looking at running a Touge Battle type event there as well. There aren't too many details available yet.

[N1GTR]

Mmm, that could be an epic winner

[scathing]

When I get details, I'll post them up.

If this touge battle concept ends up being a good idea, it might be worth going down to watch.

[N1GTR]

Yeah id be up for that

Details on the Touge Battle are finally released.

Basically, we have been planning this for the last couple of months - and are very excited!

Since this is the very first time we are staging a Touge Battle, we decided that we should choose two cars of a very high standard, but with very different characteristics.

You couldn't ask for more differences than these two!

Saturday will be a practice day for the cars. Help them get used to the new track and set up their cars accordingly.

On Sunday afternoon, we will run a "best of 3" Touge Battle, with rules run identical to those in Best Motoring. Extend your lead and you win. Can't get away and you loose.

A single battle will be run over one lap of the MDTC, starting from the middle of the straight and ending at the same point.

For us, the biggest question is this - can Jacky Yick's Civic have a high enough cornering speed to beat the EVO? or Will the Tilton Interiors EVO just dominate proceedings with what is rumoured to be an 800hp engine?

Time will tell!

P.S. The Battle won't interrupt normal proceedings of our Training Day event.

So is anyone from SAU doing either day?

I'm really starting to go through track withdrawal and need a fix!

[N1GTR]

So its not actually us driving our cars on the Touge thing, its all spectating.....?

Bobby: Maybe now that wakefield is out

Cool, let me know mate.

My understanding is that we'll be driving the track all day, as per the "driver training" but the actual "battle" they're referring to is only for show.

Bobby's right.

The "Touge Battle" will be the two "feature" cars only.

However, the weekend is about letting people go practice their skills, with driver trainers available if wanted, on the circuit. If you go and pay the $120, you'll drive. Just not for any measured ranking, whether it be position or time.

The touge thing looks like it'll be interesting to watch...you going down alan? I'm going to drive.

I'll be there on Sunday.

I am not sure if I will be driving, but I will spectate.

[Turbo Piston]

How much to spectate?
