Skid pans in/around Sydney?

[PranK]

So, I did a skid pan last Friday at SMSP which I totally sucked at. I'd like to get better at this but it was $350 and I probably got about 20 mins on the pan over the 4 hours I was there which is just not a great ROI. 

I don't have a LSD in the car yet, that will happen before I go again. I was struggling to get the car to be consistent and I think it was the open diff. I also struggled to maintain any control at all once it did step out. More practice needed. 

I found this one but it's a good 7hrs round trip for me. https://www.fifthgear.com.au/course/advanced-skidpan-training

Are there any others that people have been to around Sydney?

FWIW, the Sutton Road facility is a good one, they have a wet kidney skidpan and a dry area as well as the back track....the club hired it a few times back in the day

The clover and wet pans at Eastern Creek are the only ones I still know of in Sydney, that place is always expensive but different clubs would run different prices/formats

There used to be a place called HART at St Ives, not sure if that still exists.

We used to hire the runway at the tafe at schofields for dry motorkhana, not sure if anyone still does that. And of course that lovely one at Oran Park that is now a housing estate....

Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things. 

Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good. 

Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field.

I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally...

Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...

Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...

pretty sure that is about $1M for a 100mx100m slab....I'm gunna need some help on that.

I do have the space and understanding neighbours though

$350 for a skid pan is a joke, cost of living is definitely more in NSW 😂
