Hey everyone,


SAU:NSW has been offered a very special opportuniy thanks to the team at MotorActive to head up to the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour on Sunday Feb 9. For those of you not familiar with the event, the last 3 years have seen a massive coming of age whereby it is now attracting some of the best GT3 cars and drivers from around the globe.


Of particular interest this year is the Nissan Motor Sport GTR Nismo GT3, for those that don't know that car or for those that are curious you can see it in action here

The Nissan Motor sport GTR will be competing in Oz for the first time and includes local Rick Kelly in the team. Whilst it is expected to run in the top 10 it will have serious competition from SLS Mercs, 458 Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, Audi R8’s. It will also be the first outing at Bathurst for Tony Quin’s McLaren MP412C GT3 (just confirmed).


The list of local and international drivers is also really impressive. As well as many V8 Supercar regulars internationals include:


Mika Salo, ex F1


Markus Winkelhock, ex F1 and FIA GT1 World Champion 2012


Partick Long, 3 x American LeMans Series Champion






These cars lap Bathurst quicker than V8 Supercars and access to the pit area is great so you can get up close to the action.


For more info go to the Bathurst 12 hour website or facebook page.






So now for the special deal for SAU!

MotorActive are offering VIP parking directly opposite the main straight together with 2 adult entry tickets for a total of $35.00!!! It’s also great that they are donating the whole $35 to Camp Quality so what a great way to donate to a good cause.




Once you have booked your spot post up here stating that you are going and if possible a small pic of your car that you will be attending in (does not have to be a skyline!)


Cruise details are still being worked out but we will be departing from Penrith Panthers at approx 7:45am on Sunday Feb 9th.

Check back regularly for updates on post no 2 for cruise details and other special announcments


See you there!

Dave

Other than that enjoy the show, grab a shuttle bus up the mountain and enjoy some great racing!

thanks,

Thanks Dave. Looking forward to this, it should be a spectacular event and the price is ridiculously cheap quite frankly.

Thanks to the guys from MotorActive and SAU for organising! :)

Also, I think I read somewhere on the official page that it is a "keep the change" event, so the $35 entry price, while dirt cheap, means that people are encouraged to pay extra if they are able to, and all of this will go to charity as Dave said.

Was watching last year's 12hr race on Foxtel, just paid. Will bring the GT-R.

Here's a crappy picture of my car

Possible to leave earlier for the cruise to Bathurst? Only because by the time we get there, we'll miss almost half the race :(.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
