Sounds good. Plenty of laps to be had + plenty of petrol to be consumed.

You can have a second driver use the car on the sessions your allocated for $0 cost, so my Dad's going to have a drive.

Bring on the cold (but dry) weather for the turbos!

This is the email I got:

Hi Everyone!

Thank you very much for booking in for this weekend’s Advan Trackday at Winton Raceway – it’s looking to be an awesome day.

The aim for the day is to be relaxed and full of fun laps for all. Here is the itinerary for the day to ensure you don’t miss out on anything!

08.00: Gate opens
08.15: Sign in desk opens – come see us in the scrutineering/track marshal office to sign in
08.50: Driver’s Briefing
09.00: Track open
17.00: Track closes

Groupings – Depending on the final number of entrants, we will either be running 3 or 4 groups of 15 minute sessions.

Preparation – All “normal” preparations should be considered, i.e. Long sleeve clothing, helmets, a working car with no leaks etc. Fire extinguishers are not compulsory.

Driver Training – As a little surprise for you all, we will have John Boston available all day for personal driver training at no extra cost! He can ride passenger with you or drive your car if you like.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or phone!

See you on Saturday!

Done and dusted . Had a blast.

Ad08R's are an amazing tyre. Gave so much confidence.

1.33.38 on a street tyre.

First time at Winton without ABS, though new splitter and wing mounting made up for that.

Juliette, how'd the R's feel on the BRZ?

Top day, kudos to advan/circuitclub for organising.

Weather wasn't ideal but plenty to time to try this and that.

Just wish my cv boot held up so I could burn up some laps with their whizzy new tyres they were loaning out. Next time!

Thanks for pics martin. Lol: you travel so much, have you checked the camera timestamps :-)

Due to gasket issue robbing me of a few sessions, didn't get a chance to make use of Andrew from traction tyres being on site but did get a brilliant session with John Boston from www.trackschool.com.au here's hoping Advan Australia / circuit club can become a regular calendar fixture

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
