Bozman1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) 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.

GoldZilla Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 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!

Will it be 50 cars split up into 4 groups? more, less Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/297840-oran-park-gp-14th-jan-2010-last-ever-open-trackday/#findComment-5000633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozman1 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 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 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/297840-oran-park-gp-14th-jan-2010-last-ever-open-trackday/#findComment-5001378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
