Track Days - Opinons

  Top of Page

I am thinking of taking my car to a WRX track day next year, now most of the cars are turbos, and mine wont be.

Now i am busting to go out on the track, so I am thinking even though I wont be the fastest, it will be great experence for when I do go turbo.

What do you think??

a track day sounds good, i'll be in on that.
but could we organise a NA track day or just turbo & NA liberty's?
i'm not sure about going on the track with WRX's

Yeah I know the spelling is wrong, but I can't edit the topic sad

No point organising a track day for just NA libs, it will cost far too much.

I don't see anything wrong with running at the wrx day, as you are put into groups bassed on speed anyway.

I think I am going to do Winton and Sandown next year.

I might do a Calder night too.
I gota get my car back first LOL

Then winton might be the best, as the more a technical track rather then a power track.

Thats what I am doing.
It would be awesome to have a couple of wags out there wink

i took my old car, a 95 Liberty LX non-turbo, to a few track days...

WRX's, 180's, GTR's, 300Z's etc etc on the track - what a fkn blast. no cares that your car is non turbo, and the fact is you can 'keep up' to a certain extent around the corners anyway. great value and awesome experience. just do it.

also did quite a bit of cone-warrior motorsport in the ol' gal, miss her dearly sad

Track day? Nah, wouldn't recommend it. Wears out your tyres, your brakes, you only get 26 litres/100km on the track. And its so boring going around and around in 2nd and 3rd gear, barely seeing 170km/h.

I nearly fell asleep.

Yes!!! Very interested.  Have been wanting to give the suby a crack an the track.  Looked at the Calder open days a while ago, costs $185 + helmet and suit hire if you dont have one.

Would love a Liberty only day though.  Anyone have any idea how much it would be to hire a track for the day???  Could be a good event.
