just looking at the form, there is a tick box for entry fee and one for driver training.

does that mean if you want driver training it's an extra $145 ontop of the $185? or you have to tick one or the other and if you tick driver training, it's a slightly restricted day?

EDIT: i should read everything first...

"5. Driver Training Group

“Driver Training Group” sessions are a separate group in this event and Drivers participate only in this

group and pay the reduced entry fee.

For this component of the event, the following will apply to all drivers:

• There will be a separate Novice Group briefing and attendance of all drivers participating in this

component is mandatory.

• the club will provide a Driving Advisor / Instructor for each Driver

• Overtaking is not expected or encouraged in the ordinary course of this component of the event. If

overtaking is required it must be done in a safe and cautious manner. Those drivers who overtake in a

dangerous manner will be reported immediately to the Clerk Of Course and subject to penalties (which

can include exclusion from the event). Those drivers who are being overtaken must indicate by

pointing to the side they wish to be overtaken and maintain their line. The responsibility for the

overtaking manoeuvre rests with the overtaking vehicle.

• Drivers who wish the Driver Advisor / Instructor to drive their vehicle in this component do so

entirely at their own risk."

Do we know who the instructors will be?

Nah, it's the cheaper option of the two.

thanks guys :D i should have read the pdf's more carefully :P

so is it cheaper because you get less track time? i take it you still get to participate in the timed events?

how would this compare to say the Driver Dynamics open pit days? Those days are instruction days as well but they're around $260

well the DD days have some pro drivers giving you indepth instructions.

these will ahve some people who know the track give you some tips..

so really depends on what you looking for

you will learn more from a DD day...but you pay more as well..

but won't get points in the club championship either!

cool, thanks for that mate

would you say track time is comparable between the DD days and these WRX ones?

Interested, would have been great if they were using an AASA permit, then I wouldn't have to buy a CAMS license :D

Probably time I should buy one....

So 4 * 8min runs even for the driver training group? And after say 3pm to 4pm its a little more open or....? Never been to a club track day.

I've done Sandown once with the driver dynamics group, and Winton during a fun day, but I'm only running some average street tyres and think the driver training might be a good idea...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
