Due to the success of the last C&C meet, we're putting on a morning breakfast and happy laps meet at Queensland Raceway on the morning of Saturday, 3 December 2013. Same deal as last time, get out there and give your car a good thrashing in a safe, legal way!
Track time is between 7:00 and 8:00am sharp, since there is a group on-track after us. MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE AT 6:45am for drivers' briefing at 6:50am SHARP.

Just so everyone knows I made a mistake about the month it's march not feb (I was at work while I was typing and didn't bother to check I just didn't expect them to set it up this far in advance) its march 2nd or 3rd there seems to be a bit of confusion on the site also its not December obviously as it says above and on the site. I've sent a message to matyi checking, he is one of the guys in charge of downshift.

They never said anything about speed limits when I went, they said we can push it as hard as we want as long as you can still stop at the end of the straight. I definitely was doing over 130 and I had heaps of cars passing me

Ur right, just copyed the rules of the trackday, no mention of speed what so ever, they just say not to run off into the gravel..


Hey guys,

We're going to run another Circuit & Coffee event out at QR since the last couple went well. Same style as the last one. Almost all the details are exactly the same, so if you missed the last one or enjoyed it, get on it and buy some tickets! Some changes are in RED below.

We've hired Queensland Raceway for an hour between 7:00 - 8:00am on 2 March 2013. We have to be off track at 8am on the dot, because there is another group after us again. That still gives us an uninterrupted 60 minutes in which you can go nuts and race your friends, cruise, skid down the straight, pretty much whatever you like, within reason.

If you want in, click here and book: http://downshiftaus.bigcartel.com. Would prefer you do it here rather than cash on the day, it takes just a bit too long to get through everyone, and I don't want people to miss out.

Some rules:
* Spectators are welcome to spectate for free
* ONLY street-registered vehicles permitted
* No protective gear is required such as long sleeves or helmet
* Let faster people go, don't hold anyone up
* Use your common sense
* Track layout will be the National Circuit, which is 3130m long. HEAPS of space.
* If anyone goes into the gravel on the back straight however, layout will be changed to Sprint Circuit (1930m). So DON'T COME OFF ON THE BACK STRAIGHT!!!
* Drivers and passengers are required to be THERE by 6:45am. This is because drivers' briefing is at 6:50am, to be on track by 7am.
* It's crucial to be on time guys, we absolutely have to be off the track by 8am SHARP, due to another group having a track day just after us.

National Circuit

This too was my first downshift meet and I liked it! everyone was asking about the car and seemed to like it.
I think we deffinetly need to start going as a group, then we can all park up together and pop the fronts and listen to confused comments ;)

Not to mention that if other mr2's rocked up, then they would be able to join up with us and we could tell them about the club :)
 
 

I would be very keen to get my 2 out on the track! And have been contemplating going to a downshift meet but never had the time or the effort to get down there yet! haha! But this actually sounds plausible!

Well im going to this, anyone else?? If so, can arrange a meet point to go up in?? And have a coffe afterwards...

Well i saw a green sub, got beaten by him twice... Didnt get a chance to chat to him or ask him if hes on the forums

Ah cool. Just replied on the ds forum.. there doing a norwell track day next month. Might be a bit rich for me but il see what happens. .
