  • QLD Morgan Park Drive Day

    Ok,

    So As you may or may-not know morgan park has added a whole new section to their track, and it looks awesome!


    If your interested in coming out on One of the dates below and cutting a few laps on it in a "Advanced Track Session" with no timing please let me know either by this thread or a PM.

    Saturday 21 August (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm)
    Sunday 5 September (8:00 am – 12:00 noon) or (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm)
    Sunday 5 December (8:00 am – 12:00 noon) or (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm)

    The basic plan for the day would be as follows:

    FORMAT: (Car clubs booking a full session may adopt an altered format)
    7:40 am – 8:00 am
    Drivers Briefing/Sign Indemnity Forms
    8:00 am – 8:50 am
    Split into 2 groups
    Group 1:
    Corner entry/exit techniques
    Apex/Racing Lines
    Group 2:
    Trail Braking
    Heel-toe downshifting
    Vision / Steering / Balance
    8:50 am – 9:30 am
    Groups swap (complete other session)
    9:40 am – 10:30 am
    Laps of short circuit (instructors ride in-car)
    10:30 am – 12 noon
    Laps of long circuit (instructors ride in-car)


    Now if enough people are keen we can extend the day and get the track for the whole afternoon, so there would be plenty of laps! even in the morning you will get a good 20+ laps on different track layouts and 1:1 tuition to help with race lines and other driving techniques.

    Points to note:
    I doubt there will be timing (means they run under cams, barrel of worms etc).
    Price may vary, currently its $220 (already discounted from 250).
    The new section may or may not be available for us to drive on. its set to open on the 14/15th aug, we are running 2 weeks before so it will be ready, if they allow us to run on it is another matter.
    You dont need a CAMS or any other licence to come and run.
    Morgan park is ~90min from brisbane in warrick. there isn't a 95db limit either


    So, whos keen?
    (feel free to share the love for anyone else as well! more number the better!)

          I've done a couple of these at morgan park with safe drive training, a very good day out, will definately learn something and there's certainly plenty of track time.

          Then drag your ar5e to QR sprints so I'm not the lone VW running around there, will be hitting QR on 19th June

              I'd be interested in this. Should probably learn to drive one of these days...

              Just depends on finances I guess since I need to fund a new K04 and 4 new tyres.

                          I've got a sprints day on, then the AFL that night then something on sunday so its fallen by the wayside..

                          I'll look into the next one when I know for certain the new track is open, however those who are keen for the 30th?/31st can contact SDT.com.au (Safe Driver Training) themselfs and register if you so wish.

                          I'l try for a date and see if we can get enough dubbers out there for it.
