[Jarred]

I'm sure I'll make it out to watch a couple of your races again this year Pete, and with any luck, I might be in a few too.

Once the mk 3 is up to scratch, hopefully I'll hit a few winton fridays, and hopefully make it to a sprint or two towards the end of the year. (either PI or Sandown, or both maybe)

[Water Boy]

Ill hold ya to it Jarred.

I need to hit Sandown in my Mk3 only ever done it in Mum's GL or a slow gemeni!

[Jarred]

Fingers crossed, with good timetabling, I'll have fridays off from uni! (but even If I don't)

Oh, and you'll have to be there too woody, so I can copy your lines!

I'm doing a circuit familarisation day at Phillip Island on the 30th of April.

Excellent - PI is a great track.

Be sure to take advantage of having in instructor in the car.

[Driven Threads]

Yeah...I did one in feb and benefitted greatly from watching one of the pros drive my car.

So much to learn still.

[dave_r]

Good thread, I definitely want to try out Winton or PI at some point later in the year.
Hitting Sandown for the first time in the R on Thursday as an instructor/education type day which should be good fun!

[adzy]

Winton is awesome Dave, you must try it ASAP Sandown in comparison is majorly boring! You have to think about late apex's and a double apex, you have to be much more proggresive on the brake pedal in some points also... more gentle inputs required when on the limit due to the technical layout, love it

[kaanage]

Wait until you get to the Island, Adzy - it's raises the bar to a whole other level

Another event is the 2011 Alfa Club Winton 6 hr on 15 and 16 October 2011.

One day, I'd love to put a 6 hour team together with a hotted up PD Polo. Given that my (fairly stock) Polo used under 12l/100km at the recent Winton track day, despite my best efforts to flog it, it'd be a pretty good endurance racer due to the smaller number of pit stops vs a (obviously faster) petrol engined car.

[Water Boy]

PI July 1st.
