DavidW•GT3• Posted 2October, 2019 Report Share Posted 2October, 2019 Hi PFA people! Just a quick heads up to see if anyone is interested in a track day at Phillip Island GP circuit on Friday 29/11? Day is being delivered by Adrenaline, with each participant guaranteed at leas 6 x 15 minute sessions throughout the day. It's non competitive and drivers are graded into groups based on experience, type of car and ability. $375 for the day. Be good to have some other P cars on track. AlleyCat and I booked in - be great to hear if anyone else can join in the fun! You can register here: https://www.adrenaline.com.au/phillip-island/performance-driving/drive-day/ Cheers!

GT3LOUI Posted 18October, 2019 Report Share Posted 18October, 2019 Just checking it out now. Might be in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twro Posted 18October, 2019 Report Share Posted 18October, 2019 I am pretty interested, just need to clear it with the approval committee. For those interested, here is a response from Adrenaline to some of my questions; "The operator has responded to me and they said that drivers need to arrive between 7.30-8:00am. This allows enough time to sign on and take care of administrative tasks before the compulsory safety briefing at 8.20. The operator do not run any passenger sessions. Spectators are welcome, there is no charge, but just not in the cars. Driver training is not included in the drive day product. A whole day of driver training is run on the same day but as a different product called advanced driver education program, please see the following link https://www.adrenaline.com.au/phillip-island/performance-driving/driver-education-program/" The driver training package might be a good option for anyone who hasn't been to PI before, and/or is new to track days. It doesn't sound like there is any driver tuition in the normal Drive Day. The Driver Education Program is $525 (which seems like good value to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3LOUI Posted 18October, 2019 Report Share Posted 18October, 2019 I've club raced at pi a few times over the years. True world class track in a spectacular location. Even though we could all improve our driving technique, I Know the track reasonably well so would be interested more in pure track day as opposed to the driver training....

Better to have and not need rather than need and not have... personal choice but I buy it 👍 On 19/10/2019 at 17:16, GT3LOUI said: Is that a 991 gt3 rs? Wow, how many of you will there be? Um, yes ... not sure exactly how many. Plans change but should be a few... maybe keep an eye out for the wings! DavidW•GT3• 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidW•GT3• Posted 28October, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 28October, 2019 Reckon the 996 GT3 is only now being appreciated for how special a car it is. Love those things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW•GT3• Posted 29October, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 29October, 2019 Just checked with Adrenaline re: garage hire costs and the garages are organised on the day by the staff of the race circuit. It's $150 for a tandem garage which is steep but might be worth it if a few of us are interested in sharing. Confirmed starters include: Lazydave Alleycat GT3Loui Vin hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as-Lotus, Mercedes bmw, mclaren, nismo gtr, audi, mazda, holden,(547 kW walkinshaw director) Ford, chrysler (803 hp camaro hennessey,) evo's, wrx's, torana's, mustangs, (old and new) and even a wb one tonner with a wooden tray!!! I even found an old holden rodeo ute, with a turbo calibra engine that the turbo piping had been made using flag poles and bull bars and all custom tig welded by the owner.. I kid you not.. Got to catch up with most of you and tried to catch up with dave but kept missing you due to the groupings. Managed to get a pb oduring the last session and looking forward to trying to improve in the future. Anyway, until the next track day...
