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!

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...

      Dry sump? Is that like where you don't put oil in, and leave the car parked in the garage because it's worth so much now and is like a beautiful museum piece? 😛

      [ACT] Nissan Fuga Y50 VQ35HR 2009

      By Zveruga · Posted

      Nissan Fuga Y50 2009 VQ35HR 313 hp / 230 kW RWD Also sold as Infiniti M overseas. Performance sedan built on the same chassis as Skyline V36 or Infiniti FX. Great colour with a fantastic velour interior. Very quiet and fast car (<6s 0-100), but can also be very economical for performance (long-term average consumption 11/100 km) I imported it five years ago, and it was well looked after. It has a full service history and a balance of ACT rego. There are no finance or PPSR issues with the car. Has all the features you'd expect from a luxury car. ABS brakes Stability control Traction control Dual-zone climate control Power and memory front seats and steering column Power passenger ottoman Smart key access Push button start 2 parking cameras Steering wheel audio controls Adaptive radar cruise control AFS aiming headlights Xenon HID headlights Security system Original Nissan remote start system Two original keys Dual-channel dashcam Blackvue 750 with PowerMagicPro for battery-aware parking recording Regularly serviced with a lot of major items done: Full new original Nissan suspension shocks throughout Performance CSF radiator Recent tyres, less than 10k on them New drive belt New bonnet struts Brakes recently done The car comes with a fully converted AV system with Australian GPS maps, DVD, and radio ($2k job). I really love this car, but I have too many cars and too many Nissans in the family, so unfortunately, I need to sell it. Priced at $18500 The car can be seen in Curtin. Thank you for your attention.

      JDM R35 Bought at Japanese Auction

      Here are a few photos.  The car is auction grade 4.5B and a genuine 1 owner car, as far as I can tell...  It has a full service history with only 31,000km in it.  I'd love to put a midpipe and tune on it but I am thinking that I'll retain its originality.

      I can be grumpy!  After owning one of the first GTRs in the country, I was bitten by the nostalgia bug and started the hunt for a GTR again.  While I could have bought a car locally, I wanted to experience the search for a car in Japan and bidding at auction.  The above videos document my experience to date and hope forum members find them interesting and informative.  I was after a low mileage, completely stock car in the launch colour and am pretty stoked with what I got!

      Did you calibrate the throttle in the Haltech? It might be falling in and out of the closed loop strategy, especially if the car has been tuned on different TPS voltages.
