best thing to do is google search race tracks in VIC.
Each track will have all the info on there web site.

For us NSW/SYD members we run at Wakefield Park, it costs $160 for your first day there as $50 is for your track license (yours for a full year) and $110 for the day on the track. Each time after that it's $110 only providing it's within that same year.

yea i had a look around but the tracks didnt explain much about normal people taking the cars. dont wanna get the info wrong so if some1 tells me on here then the awnser will be personalised to my question

thanks

[brent88]

id easy pay 160 each time, i pay $50 just to race in the drags, the fto looks outta place there as there is hardly ever jap cars, last time there was 1 rx7 and that was it( heathcoate drags) like an hour and a half north of melb(mainly just 4 bogans)

theres a link to the sandown site as it seems this is the best option (if not tell me otherwise) and it dosent provide info for taking your car and driving it around a track...............

well give them a call or go for a drive and have a chat with them to see what they offer in the way of track days for street cars.
If you go down there it will also give you a chance to check out the track

120 per day but is far away, would rather sandown

[brent88]

yea good idea, still opinions etc would be good.

wil just call as im far away

[Shane001]

Motorsport at Sandown is very limited. I very much doubt they have off the street days. You're best bet is Winton, Vic's equivalent to our Wakefield. Maybe try Calder but I doubt your chances...

[brent88]

thanks shane anyone else that can elaborate?

[brent88]

dunno if im right but any track thats decent and that v8 supercars race on isnt really available to public because it would wear out the expensive road.....?

[Dan25]

Not really. A lot of the V8 tracks comprise public roads that are simply sectioned off to the public over the race weekend...

[brent88]

looks like its gonna be winton. it says: If you are testing a -
1. car – a racing suit, boots and helmet or flame retardant clothing from the neck to wrist to
ankle. You will be required to wear a helmet and closed leather shoes.

seems liek a lot i wonder if u can hire... think u can at calder.

You'll need a 2NS CAMS licence for that:

[brent88]

how much wil that set me back because winton site says $50 but it looks like it will cost more than that going by the link u sent me....... wats involved? do u just pay em money or actually sit some sorta practial or theory test?

[Bennoz]

Just pay cash

[brent88]

how much cash?

[tarkus]

Winton on I think its 3rd or 4th July has a open track day. A few of us from the MR2 club are going. think the cost is $40 each driver!

as long as you have a helmet and neck to ankle / wrist's cotton clothing you should be OK.

make sure ALL loose items are removed from the car.
