My plan is to leave Newcastle around 11ish on Sunday.  Take the M1 to Sydney & then this scenic route. 
Anyone want to join me?  Open to changes, but don't want to miss the Sea Cliff Bridge.

Google says it is about 6 hours driving time from Newy.  So with some short stops for pics I'm guessing i'd arrive at Wakefield sometime between 6 & 7.

The trip sounds good Shaz. You will be exhausted by the time you arrive!
 

Nah,  all good.  According to google it's around 370k.  I did about 500 when I did the Putty Road run with the club a couple of months ago.
Altho I might retire for the evening earlier than the rest of you, lol.

This is not an official part of the MR2 2014 Challenge but Steve asked me to talk to ex racer Garry Willmington who owns and operates the Marulan Driver Training Centre to see if there was a chance of using the track on Wednesday January 8.
 
For the diehards who won't be satisfied even after 2 great days at Wakefield on the Monday and Tuesday of of the MR2 2014 Challenge, there is an opportunty to have an additional day at the Marulan Driver Training Centre Track. The track is only  30 minutes drive from Wakefield.
 
Garry has amended his new year calendar to Make Wednesday January 8 a "Drive Your Own Car Day" at the track. Bookings are essential. Costs and other details are available on the MDTC website MDTC.com.au
 
Immaculate facilities and a quality canten as well. If you are already a long way from home, why not take the chance to add this interesting little track to your trackday experiences.
 
Quite a few forum members have already been there and had a great time.
 
 
 

Hi, I am thinking about doing this, but I am not sure. Just recently bought the sw20 and I haven't been driving it all that much, so I am wondering if it's the right time for me to be doing this (try to walk before you try to run :) ). I did a little bit of auto-cross back in the US, but never a full track; so a little bit worried of trashing a car I just bought.
 
Also, what kind of security equipment are required? Eg: racing suit? helmet? fire extinguisher, roll cage, etc...?
Apologies if it's been mentioned already but I couldn't find that info on the first few pages or the website.

Hey alex, would be great to see u & my old mr2 there. Hope u can make it, if so i will see u in a few wks.

Not sure alex but i have only paid the deposit atm. Will finalise total in the next week or so. Steve (B24) could best answer your question.

Hi Steve, I have a couple of question again, onbehalf of from a friend wanting to attend. His car / details as follows:KE30 Corolla4AGZE engineStandard loom etc for engine modified into the standard bodyHe wants to enter it into Modified Street class.It currently doesn't have (for that class):

Door trimsCat Converter

Can you please find out whether he can still enter without these items?He is running low on time between now and then to add these items to the car therefore might not be able to enter if the rules are strict on these two items. The advantage he would gain on this would be minimal.If you could assist with query that would be great.Thanks.

Modified street for the corolla. No worries with the door cards. Just make sure it has good brakes and new fluids so he can enjoy a low maintenance day.

Cheers

Man, this is tempting/scary/ exciting. What's the deadline for registration?

Alex, I can confidently say that all of us have the same anxiety you are having right now, but we all did it, all loved it and can't get enough of it. Just keep it within your limits at the start and you will have a ball.
