    or watching how you drive through a corner, or even assisting with "setting up" your car, we will do that.

     

    PRE EVENT

    MRT holds a "pre event" tech nite the Wednesday fortnight prior to the track day, this is for 2 hours and is free to track day members 

    (or $35 to other people). The evening is to assist people in relaxing prior to the track day and making sure they know what to expect and how to get

     the most from the day. Trade people will be present to answer tech questions and your car can have a Free inspection on the night to ensure its ready for your big day!
    Non members are welcome to attend at a small cost.

     


    HOW MANY LAPS CAN YOU DO?

    Most club / CAMS arranged speed events or arranged track days are based on a cost of $150 - $300, and with this you can only do about 15 - 20 laps, 

    plus you cant have passengers, the MRT organized day, allows unlimited track time, if you wish you can do over 100 laps!

    A BBQ Lunch (at the skid pan control centre), will be at 1 pm for an hour and the track is again closed so everyone can enjoy time together and "network" and chat!
    On Track Format
    The main aim for the day is to have fun and learn the limits of your car. As this event is at very low speeds its a great opportunity to test your (and your cars) limits with

     no risk of hittting or sliding off the track!
    Your cars limits will be very easy to reach and even more easy to then diagnose and solve.
    + You will learn what Understeer and Oversteer is.
    + You will learn how to control wheelspin.
    + You will learn from others and see what other cars can and can't do.
    + You will learn how to brake with and without your cars Anti Lock Brakes (ABS)
    + You will learn how to do a handbrake turn (if you want to !).
    + If your car can, you will learn how to do "donuts" and power slides. (if you want to !)

    As usual the support team will be on hand to help and advise you with solutions to solve your cars weakness's as well!
    If you have a track car this is a rare opportunity to diagnose and fine tune your cars set up.
    If you have a std road car you will also gain a lot!

    As there is a large area we wll have two areas running at the same time.
    The skid pan will be split in half with a line of witches hats  (cones) and the closest area to the control centre will be for newbies and the far area for more advanced  drivers.
    Newbies or any people on the close area will start with simple single cone events such as tight turning and circles. All designed to give drivers opportunity 

    to get used to the cars abilty in low speed activities.
    THE AIM IS TO HAVE FUN AND NO STRESS
    The advanced area will start with more complicated activities such as 4 cones and a cloverleaf "test"
    Experienced drivers will assist others and driver trainers will assisty everyone.
    Queueing will be kept to a minimum so everyone can watch and enjoy the day.

    As the day progress's and drivers get more comfortable, the "tests" will be changed.
