Time Attack Driver Training Program – Unique One-On-One In Car Training

Every Time Attack track day now includes two training groups. The training will be performed by Doug Chapple who has been the senior driving instructor at Qld Raceway for several years. Doug has literally done thousands of laps of the circuit. During his 40 year motorsport career he has won several championships and is well qualified to provide a highly professional training program. The most unique part of this training is the in car one-on-one training where Doug will give you coaching for a session on track, helping you successfully tie together the theory with the practical.

The first time to the circuit can be a daunting experience. To take the stress out of attending your first event we have put together a beginners driver training package which is now available at Time Attack track days.

• Classroom theory session to prepare you for your first outing on the track. Items such as braking points, cornering techniques and the race line will be covered to ensure you are fast and safe on the circuit.

• Preparation of your car including; seat and mirror positioning, tyre pressures etc.

• Warm up lap strategy to properly warm the tyres and brakes.

• Cool down lap and post session car care.

• In car driver coaching, one on one. The instructor will do a session in the car with you and coach you on the proper driver techniques required to do fast safe laps.

Experienced Driver Training – PM Session

Once you have been to the track and have the experience to put down consistent laps you will start to want more from your car and yourself. Looking to improve your lap times driver training is the place to start.

• Class room theory session looking at each of the corners on the track. Planning the best approach to each corner to string together a quick lap.

• Car preparation, looking at items such as your tyre selection and the correct temperature and pressures to expect from them.

• In car driver coaching, one on one. The instructor will ride with you and show you the braking points, turn in points, corner apexes and show you how to sting them together to perform a hot lap.

Great work again Paul, perfect idea for the first timers to take the edge off and de-stress before they do flying laps...

I think everyone could learn from Doug also, his instructions for me carved 2 seconds off the sprint circuit and was far better on tyres than my driving style...

Hey Andy be great to see you guys at the track. We have been talking about it for a while.

Thanks Col, I think its the next step for the event now to help new guys get out there and experienced guys slice off some time.

    • The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.
    • According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.
    • Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?
    • The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.
    • According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
