Hi all
I just got this email from Paul Rusic who runs the Time Attack series. There is some very good explainatory stuff below.
I am considering going on one of their Driver Training Days - its pretty cheap for the learnings that will obviously be gained.
Be aware, there is absolutely no need for big banger V8 or Turbo to have a crack at this and have super suspension setup nor special tyres. Lots of people take their daily drive four cylinder cars out, and I have even seen quite a few four wheel drives having a go. You can go as fast or as slow as you want. It is a very professional setup. BCCC's Drunk Kev often does Flag Marshall work on these days, so he could give good info too.
It is a far better way of giving your car a run without fear of the Police and losing your licence or accidently killing someone on public roads. Bottom line is that it's a hell of a lot of fun and quite safe.

Hi Guys,
Starting from Nov 24 Track Day we will be launching driver training. This will become a permanent part of the event in 2010. The motivation is to help beginners get involved, and experienced drivers improve their skills and lap times. As the theory and practical sessions will be customized the beginners training will be in the AM session and the experienced drivers session in the PM. The places available will be limited to ensure quality results.
Time Attack Driver Training Program Unique One-On-One In Car Training
Every Time Attack track day now includes two training groups. The training will be performed by Doug Chapple who has been the senior driving instructor at Qld Raceway for several years. Doug has literally done thousands of laps of the circuit. During his 40 year motorsport career he has won several championships and is well qualified to provide a highly professional training program. The most unique part of this training is the in car one-on-one training where Doug will give you coaching for a session on track, helping you successfully tie together the theory with the practical.
