Hey ppls.. as some ppl might or might know - just got my car..

I'm trying to find an advanced driving/skidpan course that I can attend within the sydney area..

If anyone knows of any/recommends any, please let me know..

If there is a SAU members one coming up @ some stage, that'd be good, doesn't appear to be at the moment though..

Any thoughts are appreciated - except for ppl who say I don't need to do it..

Cheers,

^^ i've done the Peter Finlay one about a year ago before I got the skyline, I would definately recommend him for a 1st level advanced course. I am however looking for something where I can find the limits of my car on a skidpan so I can try things like oversteering, and practising in the wet..

Peter unfortunately doesn't have those facilities but they have a great little track they use..

i'm planning to go on this very very shortly...

also know of Ian Luff, have met him once a couple of years ago, he is a top bloke, also he was one of the judges on Australias worst driver, that show on a while ago. (i wasn't on the show when i met him!!!)

im interested too but probably next month or so, as all this month's Sunday are booked out for me. Got things to do, show and shines to goto, dynos to goto, fishing trips to go ;)

but yea as long as in the skidpans I dont crash or trash mycar id like to go and learn too.

I must agree Aaron Macgill is a very good driver. and a nice bloke too.

I recently attended one of his C3 track days (you can do an OLT for your C3 licence if you wish).

It was at Oran Park (full Grand Prix circuit) and I got him to come for some laps with me. very informative.

Hard to go past a guy that has made his way up to V8 supercars...

I am sure he does run skid pan days etc too.

Do one of luffys courses.... i wouldnt do anything else...

i did course 1,2 and 3 in one day with the nissan sports car club and it was soooo much fun...... time trails... doorriiiffttooooo everything...... :)

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
