tazzieman Posted 23August, 2016 Report Share Posted 23August, 2016 Mainlanders have reciprocal club rights with the Tas club. We are having a Symmons Plains raceway drive day next month ; fast laps , slow laps , ladies laps , autocross - all for ~$75 including CAMS m'ship for the day and lunch. Dunno what you guys pay, but it's pretty good value on the island.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what you guys pay, but it's pretty good value on the island..that seems like outstanding value. The club here don't do happy laps and seem very keen on getting people into Motorsport proper whereas most owners just want to stretch their car once or twice a year and in a safe and controlled environment. To echo most others here, this place has had the best club like drives and events (skid pans etc). Well worth the $25 bucks and much nicer t-shirts (if only there was a hat!)

clutch-monkey Posted 23August, 2016 Report Share Posted 23August, 2016 i joined the club to do motorsport, which seems to have dropped off immensely/doubled in price this year, so i can't remember the last time i actually made use of my porsche club membership.have ended up booking our own air cooled run group at sprint days instead.

Amanda986 Posted 24August, 2016 Report Share Posted 24August, 2016 I joined pcnsw when I first got my car and went to a couple of social drives but it was very awkward and people weren't very friendly so I let my membership lapse. I don't know if it is because I was 25 at the time or if it was because my car isn't a 911 but it wasn't a great experience.Joined again this year for the motorkhana and so far it has been completely different. The vast majority of people are really nice and friendly so not sure what has changed. We tried going on the social drive to Rennsport but it wasn't very enjoyable so will just stick to the motorsport side of things. Does anyone know of any other car clubs that have regular motorkhanas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchanan Automotive Posted 24August, 2016 Report Share Posted 24August, 2016 I have been a member of the PCNSW since around 2005 and i have to say i have really enjoyed it. I don't really get out to do their social runs but we do love the motorsport side of things. 5 sprints and 4 motokhanans a year, along with the Porsche/BMW challenge annually held at SMP on the GP circuit and they have a presentation lunch towards the end. Out of all the track days and sprints that we have run they are by far the most safe. They are very smart with their timing and positioning of cars on track. There are usually 6 groups with 10-12 cars per group, group 1 being the fastest and 5 being the slowest with 6 as a new group for newbies. The newbies can change from this group into a timed group any time they want. Each driver nominates a personal best time for the circuit and is put in order, this is basically there to help prevent overtaking and or baulking of another drivers lap. This is supersprinting not door to door racing and is all about the best time you can do if you want to be compete competitively. Some of the track days we have done in the past with other clubs or privateers are just down right dangerous with an open track. seeing 356's on the track at the same time as a cup is asking for trouble. Not only that but we also have the fire brigade and ambulance on site for every Sprint.To be honest the club has not always been as friendly as it is today, back in the early days when i joined there were a few people in charge that did try to segregate the club into new expensive cars and old cars. But thanks to the previous Club captain Tim Bickford and current captain Mark Bloxham that just doesn't exist anymore.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
