EOI - Street Sprint Series

[jasn78]

Clay, I would much prefer this over sprints to start with that way I can get the most out of sprints.

That is what i was thinking, had a chat with a few of the happy lappers who have requested a driver training style event so that everyone can learn theproper lines to get the most out of hapy laps and street sprints if we step it up a notch.

Updated the first post with details on the advanced driver training.

i like this better, should be more relaxed than sprint sessions, yet u can actually push it as hard as sprint / timeattack sessions.

but is just $99 with min 5 participants or there are additional costs? $99 is just too good to be true.

cheapest full day driver training is usually $170-$299

Interested
Are we using our cars tho?? No point doing the course with other people's car

Just bumping this up to see if there is any more interest?



We also have the option of an advanced driver training day with the following details:



so let me know if you would be interested in that as well please.

$99 with a minimum or 5 participants at this stage, i will give them a call and confirm in a week or so when i vcall to organise August Happy Laps.

I assume it might be extra if you want catering.

Might also only be a half day type thing where you only get 10-15 minutes on the track each.

Great idea, thanks Clay!

Would be keen on the driver training too. Every little bit counts. Would be good to get an understanding of what is being provided and how long. I may have a mate or two who'd be keen to join.

Clay I am up for the training 2. I need to know lines, speeds and braking points way better, cheers.

Plus have a look at this people to wet your appetite it is the fastest factory front wheel drive time at the ring ever Nordschleife Renault Megane RS 265 Nurburgring time record - YouTube - great driving.

[jasn78]

Clay the old man is also interested as well.

Alright, 7 people so far.


Some more details for you:

It is held on the same day as a sprint session.
We would rock up an hour before the sprint session in order to do a theory lesson on how to set up the car, work out where the apex's are, cornering speeds and lines etc.
Then as part of the sprint session we would go out and do our 4 x runs of 5 laps with the instructor going along with us for one of the sessions and giving hints on how to improve.

That doesn't seem to add up. 4 sessions means he can only get in 4 cars as we'd all likely be in the same session. Looking from the outside would suggest very little about what's going on in the car. Could be great it you're really unsure about lines, he could tell that from a distance, but not so much the intricacies of car control, braking style and gear without being in the car.

I would pass on this if that's the case. Though others may get more out of it.

But hey, for the price it's hard to argue with the approach.

[team_v]

I will check on how it is possible when i give them a call next.
I assume if you end up with 10 people they may have 2 instructors going around in the cars with the group.

Just getting interest at the moment until i can work out more details and specific dates that it could be held.

[DarkShines]

I'd be keen for the training, great idea.

[grandturismo]
