Queensland Raceway Happy Laps (v.5) 27th May 2012 (breakfast)
yeah mate there is. Best to take your pushbike or another car to get around the back of the track, long walk. Otherwise along the put wall is ok, but best down the far end where you enter the front straight like below. That's about all the angles you can get. On the outside of turn 2 (around the back) is good as you're carrying more speed, and will have the occassional person in the dirt
Awesome, those angles look really good. It would be quite interesting in the photos if anyone goes off there haha.
As transport goes Dad will be bringing his new pride and joy just to show off (not on the track obviously). Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE. He won't let me drive it yet though, looking forward to when he does though.
Will do, sorry should have done that when you first asked! I take it the passenger you mentioned first is your Dad, or do you have 2 passengers?
The track is very flat (one of it's few advantages) so you can see most of the action from anywhere, and like Sean mentioned, the best shots are usually to had near the corners esp corners 1,2, 3 & 6. Good idea about the pushbike Sean!

Done! What's your friend's name/car?
I've updated the list - wasn't your missus concerned about being a passenger on the racetrack tho??
No worries!
Yeh, just me driving and dad on the sideline. Thanks!
I would be surprised if any insurance company would be happy to cover you for comprehensive insurance (damage to your vehicle + damage to other vehicles and property) if your vehicle is involved in an accident on a racetrack, no matter what speed you were travelling at.
You are not covered if your motor vehicle or motorcycle is
being driven/ridden:
• on a race track or testing ground or a closed road, or
• whilst you are participating in a course conducted,
advertised, promoted or designed to improve high
speed driving skills or to improve or prepare for any
form of motor sport.
You are not covered if your motor vehicle or motorcycle is
being used for any motor sport.
Generally the theory goes like this, if you cannot afford to crash it - leave it at home.
Could you add my dad as a passenger for me thanks? Dad will be paying as well. Although he will be filming from the sideline. Are there any spaces along the track (like at Lakeside) to get some good shots?

I would also love to have a spot if there is one for me?
If not I'd be quite happy to wait on the reserve list
I have updated the list - sillywet got the last spot for a 35 cutoff and I have put the others on the reserve list. Do not despair however, as will certainly be some people not able to make when I ask for confirmations.
