Skylines Australia Victoria is proudly sponsored by Driver Dynamics and has had an ongoing relationship for years now.

DD is heading over to SA to do some promotion of road safety and run some courses. I thought that some of you might be interested in this Advanced Driving course:

Super Special Discounted Advanced Car Control Course

Saturday 15th September 2012 at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park

Driver Dynamics will be hosting a specially discounted Advanced Car Control Course at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park on Saturday 15th September 2012 .

This course is suited to all drivers and is focused on raising the drivers awareness of vehicle dynamics and advanced vehicle control skills.

The format is very much ‘hands on’, with the emphasis on practical driving exercises including, highway-speed emergency braking, wet corner emergency braking, emergency lane changing, multiple direction changes, vehicle stability, understeer and oversteer exercises, etc.

The nature of this course will allow the participants the opportunity to explore ‘high end’ vehicle control skills at the critical limit.

Regardless of your previous driving experience you will learn lots on this program !

The theory component of this course includes an in depth analysis of advanced vehicle dynamics including the introduction and understanding of the Traction Circle.

This course will be conducted by full-time professional, qualified advanced driving instructors and will be lead by Driver Dynamics CEO Kevin Flynn.

This is a full day course starting at 9am and concluding at 4.00pm.

Note that this is not a trackday, there is no circuit lapping.

You don’t need a helmet or any special modifications to your car.

No spectators are permitted and will be refused entry.

Normally drivers would expect to pay $315 for this course, but we’re offering this date for only $199.00 per driver.

No further discounts will apply to this course

Positions for this course are limited, so if you’d like to attend please call 1300 652 693 to book.

For a day like this would it be best to run in rwd?

I guess it depends on the end goal? Ie if you disable awd to drift or motokhana then I'd imagine that its best to get taught with the same setup?

That said, it'd be cool to do the same course with the same car in rwd and then awd... would really give you some idea of what the awd does...

having awd will make it a little hard to practice what they want to achieve with oversteer

also agree would be very beneficial to complete in both awd mode and rwd

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.

      Carb issues - E15S

      By GregosM10 · Posted

      Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.

      The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.
