ByronBayChris Posted 2March, 2016 Report Share Posted 2March, 2016 I plan to leave Byron Bay on the morning of Wednesday April 27, staying at Port Macquarie on Wednesday night, then continuing to Eastern Creek on Thursday. Reverse trip on Monday - staying at Port Macquarie Monday evening and back home Tuesday.I booked a room at Atura Blacktown which looks pretty close to the action.And I think I will enter in the Show-n-Shine.....as the parking is probably better Anyone from Brisbane or Northern Rivers coming along ?Let's meet up along the way.

Port 911 Posted 2March, 2016 Report Share Posted 2March, 2016 I am driving down from Port Macquarie on the Thursday, but was going to leave the Pcar at home, because of there is no secure parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 3March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 3March, 2016 OK, so Alpha Hotel and Altura both have outdoor carparks. I have heard many Porsche owners use these places. Where do the park their cars ? I am now a little concerned about what I am hearing. Or do they leave their cars at Eastern Creek ?EDIT Even the Show and Shine cars can stay on the skidpan for the duration of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennsport does not start till the Saturday, so like me, you would be leaving your car out for the Thursday & Friday for all to pillage, can not say I will sleep very well those nights.I am open to suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That,s why I booked accommodation for the Thurs/Friday & Saturday nights. Under the impression that it was starting on the Friday. If you Google search Rennsport it still starts off saying 29th April -1st May, you go any further & it then states 30th - 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 9March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 9March, 2016 OK - I have sorted myself out.Leaving Byron on Wednesday - taking our time on the highway. Staying at Port Macquarie one night then Newcastle the next. Meeting up with PCQ as we tag along Putty Road. Never done it but have heard it's worth it. Staying 25 minutes from the track. Secure parking. Then leaving on Monday and heading to Port Macquarie for the night, and then home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 9March, 2016 Report Share Posted 9March, 2016 You could do Port Mac to Walcha (80km of twisties) then Nowendoc - Glousester - NewcastleIf you go via Armidale or PMQ - Walcha - Tamworth and do a stopover in Tamworth I can offer you lock up parking.Unlocking could be an issue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
