The title says it all ;)

As ORAN PARK will stop operating from the 25th JAN 2010, this is the very last opportunity for you to drive on the circuit at an open track day without having to hold any special race licence. YES THIS IS THE LAST EVER ORAN GP OPEN TRACKDAY.

This day promises to bring a bag of mixed feelings....sad, historic, happy etc

I think this should be a day to come along and farewell this magnificent venue we have come to know ;)

I have some very special friends coming along to this day. RALLYSCHOOL and SPORTSCAR WORLD RENTALS will have displays on the day and will be giving away prizes.

3 lucky people will go for a ride in a rally car on the purpose built rally track at ORAN PARK on this actual day as part of a lucky door prize for all entrants on the day. The prizes will be drawn at lunch.

3 lucky people will go for a ride in a sportscar supplied by SCWR on the ORAN PARK GP circuit on this actual day as part of a lucky door prize for all entrants on the day. The prizes will be drawn at lunch. Last time I did this, SCWR allowed me to take people for rides in there 430 Ferrari :)

This day is sure to be a sellout, with people emailing weeks ago putting there name down for this event as they have heard about it through the grapevine.

Ahhhh, so tempted to do this! I'll HAVE to keep this in mind and make sure nothing else is on my schedule for this day.

15min sessions are perfect at OPGP - just enough time to get some good laps in, without burning yourself out or over-cooking your car!

The 1800 number is working crew >_<

If you let it ring long enough, it will go to an answering machine lol I have tried it myself to make sure.

You are probably use to phones not ringing for very long :blink:

I can vouch for how awesome these JB days are! I would love to be there in the blue silvia Bozman, but she is for sale and think it might be gone by then. If not... then i might see availability when i get back from UK on the 9th of Jan :)

Any idea what time the day will get under way ??

Drivers briefing at 8.45am :ph34r:

Must sure you are there before so that you can sign the appropriate paperwork :)

Hi Andrew

ORAN GP can easily handle 20 cars on the track at once. If you race in a full grid event, you can have up tp 42 cars on the track at once....but that is not what we will do :D

We are going to have 4 groups of 20 cars....so a total of 80 people max. We will end up having a reserve list for this event, as there is just massive interest.

As of today we have 72 entries :)

    • Absolutely nothing wrong with a Profec or similar. He's on a Nistune, so external boost control is a better option anyway.  
    • I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there. 
    • Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
