Wakefield Speed Off The Streets

[B-rice]

lol also just take your number plates off when on the track lool. insurance will not cover you if you crash on the track. And people are bound to take pics and the insurance people will find out.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

don't have to worry about that... lost my job and cant afford to insure it anymore besides its only been registered for about 2 weeks

I do need insurance tho...

haha it took ages for me to hit the limiter in my r33 going through that kink at 180 is scary.

Pretty keen for this - does anyone know an average price for a wakie day?

My last pay day is next fortnight - need to see if it's in budget.

$150 for day

$50 for liecense

$80 fuel to get there

$40 top up

$80? for a tank at lunch?

$40 top up for ride home

$10-20lunch

$40 oils

Total: $490 - sounds about right?

i used about 80litres total for the day you use a half tank getting to goulborn and back so petrol cost is about $130

buy a 1L bottle of oil $15

so about $410.

It is not totally unlikely that your car will break, I had mine trailered back once, at a 350$ cost. Due to a bad driveline noise. (turned out to be a loose pully.) But it's not totally impossible, you are stressing the car and pushing it, so it's not impossible that a turbo could blow, or you have some kind of failure.

My advice apart from what everyone else said, is do some slow cooldown laps as well, dont flog the car the entire session. I was doing a fair few hot laps and would then do a slower lap to give the car a break.

Also budget for a potential set of new tires, unless you have slicks or semi slicks, you will put a bit of wear on your tires.

[RosieR34]

I'm going to have to pass on this bois Might come down to watch though.

[Pattey21]

you determine how hard you push your car. you dont need to go all out and non stop.

if your car is on its last legs for tyres or brakes etc or already has issues on a daily driver level, then sure best to give it a miss.

same deal if your pushing it financially but otherwise lets not get too pedantic.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Yeah, im going to just cruise around and get to know the track.

Also get to know the car better.

I need training to drive fast and not stack.

Hurry up time..... i want to go now!

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

I may not be able to make it - car might be sold before I get there

[k_d]

Not to sound like a party pooper or anything, but if your on a budget, a trackday probably isnt the greatest idea. maybe wait a little and save up for it

[k_d]
