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.

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
