This is our first sprint day for the year and a great chance to see how fast your car actually is.

This is a full track day.

Practice laps from 8:30 am through 11:30 am will be able to be purchased from QR on the day, however this session will be on the national circuit NOT the sprint track.

At 12:00, we will be briefed and then onto the track for our laps.

Be there by 11:30 for a 12:00 drivers briefing

You will need a timing chip which can be either bought from QR or rented for the day. They cost $80 to purchase and can be used at any timed event held by QR. You can rent them for $20 for the day with a $60 deposit which will be returned to you at the end of the day. You will also need to hold or purchase a racing licence from QR.

From today until the 6th of May we will be releasing the event to members only on a first in best dressed basis, after this date we will open the remaining spots to anyone. If you reserve a spot but haven't paid and submitted your entry form by the 16th of May your spot is fair game.

Guys, I've never taken my car on the track before; is an event like this suitable for absolute beginners or can anyone recommend something else that would be more appropriate?

[Cadmoon]

It is the beginners entry into proper timed racing. It depends how comfortable you are with how your car handles at speed. Happy laps light be a good idea first to get a feel for it before pushing the limits but qr as a track is one of the most forgiving tracks in Australia.

[AussieMark]

Thanks for the feedback. If the dates work for me I think I'll sign up for this.

Sprints are great because the only person you're going up against is yourself. You run around at a decent pace, come back, see what your times were like and then go out again - that's basically it. Gives you the opportunity to identify where to brake, where and when to open it up etc.

If you know Phil Sutty with the Black R35, he loves these things and can give you more insight. The guys have a good day out and enjoy their day. You will need a helmet, long sleeve shirt and pants etc.

Race car has 5 gears. In.

[B-Boi34]

I wont be able to make this & have my own timing chip if anyone wants to borrow it for the day.

[SilverECR33]

I've been dying to get out on National to reset my time, but TA never runs it.

Any possibility of this happening again in the near future?

[Cadmoon]

Sprint days? Doubtful at this time, we had to cancel this one as we only had 4 people interested. Next time we will just be joining as a group and not paying for own session.
