Barbagallo Track Days

[Bren444]

G'day

The old man and I are taking the skylines to another tuning day this Saturday 3 September. There is also a hill climb at jacks hill the same day.

Does anyone have there CAMS license and WASCC membership and want to bring their cars out? Anyone who doesn't but want to come out for a look anyway are most welcome. There's no spectator entry fees and there is a lunch canteen.

9am - 4pm

Would be a great opportunity to meet and greet.

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi Brendan, Normally I'd be keen, but still waiting to get my car finished. Will definately be out there as soon as I can. WASCC Tuning days are one of the best value for money events around

200L of Sucrogen E85. It's genuine race fuel, so is gaurenteed to be E85+, the stuff from the pumps over east fluctuates dramatically.

[BlindspottNZ]

how much is it worth per litre, ive often thought about getting some but never looked into it...

cheers

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It's about $3/litre if you buy in 20L drums, or $2.70 if you buy in 200L drums. You'll need at least 40L to get a tune done, and E85 requires about 30% more flow than BP98. So you need to have large injectors

So not for everyday driving then

any word on when they are selling it at the pump here? last i heard someone was trying to manafacture it here a couple of years back but it fell thru...

Nope, only for the true motorsport enthusiast

None of the petrol companies have any plans to bring it over, not only due to legal restrictions, but also due to not being able to fully supply the eastern states markets.

[N I B]

Filters Elite sell Powerplus Race E85 in Cannington (Best Fuel Ive used) and Watsons Transport sells Racefuels E85 in Welshpool. Watsons is about the cheapest.

[Bren444]

Have fun Brendan, lets us know how you go

[CMS Drifter]

I would be keen to do some laps of Barbagallo!

I am part of the speed event series that are running the Jacks Hill- hillclimb, but its a long way for me to travel for only 4min of racing!!

I have cams L2S lisence and a car thats ready to go.

Can somebody tell me if this is going ahead and costs??

I dont have WASCC membership.. yet.. depending what this is worth- I may join up

[GTS-t VSPEC]

That's why WASCC Tuning days are awesome, heaps of track time, so really good bang for your buck. They tend to alternate tin-tops and open-wheelers in 20-30min sessions. With your WASCC Membership you get a free Tuning Day (Normal cost about $75), so helps offset the cost.

WASCC Membership is annual, but membership is now being charged on a pro-rata basis, so you only pay a reduced amount till the end of the year

not wanting to put a dampner on this but, Tuning Days aren't really an event, there is no timing, racing, fastest, slowest, winners, losers etc you just get access to the track to do laps, which after a couple of times can get a bit boring, sure you can pump out some laps,to get familiar with the track and tune your setup. I find the Nolimits nights a bit more exciting with live timing and a leader board, you can see if you are actually getting quicker, and where you stand.. just my 2c

I see what you're saying, and agree totally that it's not an event, however the only way to improve as a driver is by doing lap after lap etc. Lap times are improtant too, and grabbing a Performance Box, which can provide lap times and race lines are an excellent investment for the racing enthusiast.

I've done lots of No Limits events, and certainly would recommend them to anyone getting into Motorsport , but for me time on the track is more important, so tuning days are great value for money
