This is a consolidated list of casual motorsport style events that are organised / operated by others in the SEQld / Nothern NSW area.  Note I haven't posted a full list of the various racing series, just events that the causal amateur or 1st timer may wish to attend.  Please post up any events that you know about or are attending in 2016 and I'll add them to the list.
 
The list of these events are not part of, organised by or affiliated with the MR2 Owners Club Qld Branch Inc. (e.g. QR sprint sessions booked by Eric).  A separate thread will be created for any official events organised by the Club.  Now that the "all care and no responsibility taken" clause is out of the way, on to the list of events...

Great Idea Tim!

The official calendar has some track events on it too. I will be looking to book some additional sessions this year though. I am also looking at things such as skidpan day and lakeside sprints. 

Please note that anything in this thread is simply distribution of information. It is your own decision to compete or participate in any events listed on here and we hold no liability for anything that happens on these days. 

The calendar is going to be extremely full for the club this year, so I probably wont do too many sprints.

can we please have lakeside included, NOT just QR, lakeside is a real drivers track and is such a joy to drive on...
 
tim, great idea, when my car is back on the road il be on for this!!

Dom  - several of us (Roger) have been bugging Eric to book a sprint session at Lakeside, I believe it will be on the cards at some stage during the year.  Personally I plan to attend at least one practise day at Morgan Park as well + a "Come and Try" Hillclimb at Mt Cotton throughout the year.  The Border Rangers Rally also looks like a good amateur event to attend if I can find a cheap AW11 to thrash and then part out afterwards.
 
The point of this thread is to put the dates out there and see who's interested, and/or who's going to an event incase anyone else wants to tag along.  I'll cross-post this in the "Brisbane MR2 Crew" Facebook group once the detail is fleshed out.

Good work Tim. I'm good for morgan park, lakeside and the hillclimb "come and try" and any skid pan days. Let me know when and where ur going And I will try and get there. I think I will use the twin turbo at morgan park.
When is the club calender being published?
Let the 2016 fun begin.

This weekend is the first round of street sprints at QR.

Lakeside has always been on the cards. QR is cheaper and easier to book though which is why I have done it in the past. It is also great for beginner drivers with heaps of runoff room.
