DRIVE - MT PANORAMA
(full circuit)
EASTER 2011
The opportunity to drive on one of the world’s best road
circuits is now available to L2S licence holders over the
Easter Weekend in 2011.
Yeehah Events will be conducting the 2011 Bathurst Motor
Festival over the Easter weekend, 22nd -24th April 2011.
Whilst the program of the Festival is planned around a Race
Meeting of various categories, regular Supersprinters have
been offered the chance to participate under a Regularity
class.
The format is yet to be resolved until such time as we can
confirm that we have the numbers required to participate. It
is anticipated that we would have possibly five runs of 20-30
minutes each over the weekend.
The track density for Regularity has been set at a maximum
of 45 vehicles, so if you are interested please Register your

Wondering when that would come up. Anyone know the details and politics behind what's going on? ie how is it that FOSC cannot do it but these guys can.

Basically, if you get a free hand and continue to piss people about, the result is someone else will do it. If they do it better - hey great its good for all! (Or basically if you breach a contract you loose)

For all to keep in mind, we're looking at 2 tracks here in the future, to be honest do you think that council really needs to be mucked about?

Are you entering Stuart and do you know anything about regs etc?

[B24]

Sounds like a good deal to me. Not interested in the politics just can people get out there and run cars they would not usually have the opportunity to do so.

[uncle erne]

Guys
I would be very carefull about spending your hard earned on the Bathurst easter event, as the lawers are not done yet.
The Bathurst council changed the contract two years in row and wouldn't comit to 2011 so for 2011 FoSC will be at EC.
Stuart
As for the second track would the good folk of Bathurst be happy to put with the potential sounds of motor racing 50 odd weekends a year, they wouldn't at Oran Park and were always filing complaints with council.

Hi Unc

Easter Event no longer involves FoSC - I think you'll find BRC didn't change the contract at all - I think you will find someone was given a free hand for a year and didn't comply with contract.

2011 is a totally new event, I believe run by organisers of Drive Bathurst - R35 Dunc should have all details, Karen and I have both registered our interest - yes FoSC are entertaining idea of running EC event.

With regards to Bathurst track upgrade this definitely won't be for 50 weekends a year, I think somewhere around 20 events in total is limit, will still be good to get the track - one opening is better than 1 closing.

Cheers

[Stuart]

Are you entering Stuart and do you know anything about regs etc?

Yep, Karen and I have given our expressions of interest to run R32 and R33, with Steve L for Regularity run. If Steve's got a full grid - BLCC were also trying to find a group of 40 interested.

Duncan Regs will be fairly basic, LS2 licence required, normally require I would say, Helmet, suit, gloves, boots, FIA8856-2000. When I know, I will let you know.

Cheers

[sonic]

Will it be a proper supersprint, ie: go flat out, or just a regularity, ie: sunday drive?

I have heard the reason why FOSC didn't get to renew was because they ran a supersprint when only had the allowance for a regularity.

Can you shed any light?

I believe that's a contentious issue, they are working it out now. As far. I can gather it's meant to be a regularity. I think everyone on here would probably run faster than the min time,

I dont understand min time, the regularity event at Bathurst in 2010 had no time that was too fast it was just about being consistant, as far as im aware you input the time you expect to maintain and try (TRY) to acheive this on every lap.

It appears that the 12hour only has at the moment 12 entries and are looking at moving their event to easter. ???????????

Which means they take our Easter Bathurst event away, and it gets shoved back a while. I dont have $7500+ to enter the 12 hour - for that much money Id rather send the car to Europe and enter the Nurburgring 24hr race, it is only 2500 euro (about $4200). You'd get twice around the clock and 4 times the distance. Then leave it there and do the 3-hour, 6 hour and 12 hours events throughout the year.

[sonic]

I reckon the entry fee - whilst to rich for me too - would be the least of your worries Jeff.

You'll need a dry break fuel system plus refueling enquipment = $10k easily

Then you'll want to have a newly rebuilt engine for reliability = $5k at least

new brake discs and enduro pads + spares of each front and rear = $6k

Probably replace a bunch of other stuff like control arms, bushes throughout, transfer case, gearbox rebuild etc for reliability, call it $15k for general prep

8 - 10 brand new tyres = $4k

race team / mechanics etc incl accom, food transport = $10k.

Race fuel for the entire event = $5k+

Then when you've finished, hoping you get out of it without dama, you'll need to rebuild the engine and replace half of the driveline components including transfer case, rebuild the gearbox etc, call it $20k.

If you want to be competitive, and actually have a good chance at finishing the race, in an evo 8 or 9 you are looking at an $70-$80k investment if you are being realistic, you might get away with $50k if you cut some risky corners (like not rebuilding the gearbox, replacing transfer case and other lifed driveline and chassis components).

and look at it this way, if your car breaks on lap one you've still spent $40k getting there. so imo it isn't worth skimping, you either do it right or not at all.

for me, i would be very pissed off to spend $40k + and have the car break in practice or the first hour of the event and i'm sure sponsors would be super pissed too.

Without sponsors kicking in serious cash, the 12hr isn't even an option.

I can't see myself doing it any time soon as there is no way i could afford that sort of money for an event, being self funded.

.... and of course if your car gets totalled, like the Globe evo 10 did last year, well that would well and truly suck and add $50k to your expenses for losses....

I think the same thing would go for the Nurnurgring races too Jeff, you wouldn't want the car to break down over there either considering the expense you've gone to getting there. A couple of runs up Pikes Peak is a whole different kettle of fish to running your car ragged for 6, 12 or 24hrs!!

[JeffDoz]

Yeah, a lot of those sundries are very expensive additions.

I dont fully agree with the rebuild after the event etc, the guys in the shop who do that would happily convince people they should pay them more money, but Ive been around a bit now. A rebuilt evo engine with stock components that is balanced and blueprinted, nothing special there, would last twelve hours and then some, considering they can last more than a full season in Rallying.

Yes, the gearbox would need a replacement prior for sure (evo 9 RS $3500), the transfer case would need replacing prior ($1500 including shipping to and from the US)

Im not a big one for 'do it right or not at all'. there's a lot of people missing out on doing anything because they've had that shoved down their necks by people who dont do any of it. Im a sort of, "show up with all I have and see what happens" type of guy while I keep an eye on everything that needs an eye on it, or replaced, when I can afford it, but I also consider myself gentle on machinery. when you pay your own bills like you and I we need to be like that.

Someone else I know that rallies an evo said that their engine needs a rebuild after Targa High country, when I asked why, wasnt it just rebuilt, they said the guys in the shop said so! I giggled and asked was it all stock internally and they said it was, and I said, change the fluid, do a head stud, and bottom end bolt checkover, check the suspension nuts and bolts and you'll be all good. They did just that, and have run the car a few more track events without issue. I just hate seeing all the BS coming out of workshops gouging innocent people, convincing them that they need to pay for the shops mortgage after each race. this is why a lot of these people are either late into racing or dont hang around long, they deem it all too expensive.

The car we used in Europe wasnt rebuilt in 4 seasons, it only had clutch changes. And ditto with one of my old evos - one fullseason of the GT championship in the US, that also included one 24 hour race at Nelson ledges, and 5 hillclimbs (3-7 miles each in the US, 5 runs a day, over two days), and the previous season I went rallying with it, and I never rebuilt the engine. Just changed the oil is all I ever did.

I think you'd been spending too much time with people who like to spend money, because they were told to, and it all went to the people who told them they need to do it. LOL. Sorry, that was suppose to be a joke.

Anyways, I have more respect for the guy who spends $1000 on a car, build it to spec and regs, shows up and races with everything he has, including heart and soul, not the guy who says he went and spent $100k just to get to the start line because that's what he was told, so he did.

I tend to use stock components most of the time, like the guy with the evo x at Bathurst that hit the wall, his brake rotor exploded, it wasnt a stock component, and no doubt changed them because he was sold on the idea by the guy that had them for sale, but I bet the guy who sold it wasnt putting his hand up to say it was his idea to use them after it hit the wall.

too many people in this country decide to go from a regular shop to being a 'racers' shop, and yet barely have a mechanics degree. Too much, she'll be right mate, what you have on the car isnt what you need, what you need is this, and we sell them so buy them'.

Anyways, you can rent the refueling rig, but you do have to install the fule system into the car, which then takes it away from being rally-iable.

To be honest I can see us going back to gravel rallying next year in a whole different car, if we went Irace or MSA we would use a normally aspirated car that would be cheap to replace panels on, or engine, or throw it away and get another shell, etc. Everything on an evo is relatively expensive, and might be time to retire this one, it's served me well. My other car is now sitting in an museum in the US, and another is in a museum in the UK.

Racing here is stupidly expensive, unnecessarily expensive because the market is so small, everyone wants what ever client they have to pay their mortgages for the right to go racing, just dont go for that. Id sooner live here and compete in the Us on the westcoast transit to and fro', even Cath is now warm to the idea.

[street racing team]

you need to post that on EVO OZ! Jeff!
So true.
An example in point was our old LA Lancer, I reckon I could build it again for 7K and yet I was always top ten at SuperSprints, rang a jap sigma small spline five speed behind the 240 HP EVO donk because I didn't have the skill or the funds at that time to make a bell housing. for the celica 5 speed/ supra box available to me at the time. 90% of the parts in the car were directly transferred from a wreck to the car, most of the time I didn't even paint them LOL (due to normally being fitted at 11pm the night before the meeting)

[sonic]

^ Each to their own guys but if you are going for a podium or a win, then the costs tend to exponentially multiply, especially when sponsor $ is involved.

If i was going to race in the 12hr and not go for a top 3 in class i wouldn't race an evo, i'd rent a drive in something cheap(er) like a mazda or a Yaris or something, somebody else's car.

I'm all for cheap racing, sometimes i wish i hadn't even built the evo and instead just built a BMW 325 and used that for IPRA / e30 racing / irace, would have cost me half as much (at most!) and i wouldn't be as worried about banging panels....

But there are events that i don't think should be skimped on and the Bathurst 12hr is one of those. Sure there are some area's where you could cut costs but as i said if you are going to spend some serious money - even $20-$30k - just getting to an event like the 12hr then that is a lot of risk if you aren't prepared properly and have skimped on something and it then breaks, putting you out of the event early.

It's a slippery slope!

IT's about getting to the start, as you show. I admire your approach, it is similiar to mine. I respect all that get to the start line with whatever they have. The less they have the more respect I have for them. And when they/ou (we) beat the mega $$ spending guys, the more I giggle in my beer.

Some people, like workshops, will have people convinced they need to spend tons$$ and tons $$ $with them to go racing because they read somewhere that's what people need to do so that's what they need to charge.

Some of these guys need to go and race in the 24 hours of lemons. 60 -70 % of those cars finish on all stock components, and they have a cap cost of $500, plus minimum safety gear. A mid 80's BMW/Mazda/etc with high mileage can do it, why can't a late model car.

But as you say it's each to their own. I decide to do an event, enter, then prep the car to a standard I can with whatever assistance I can get, tackle the rest as I go while being as pre-prepped as much as I can. I would have to say 70% of all the events Iv e done Ive done them when I couldnt really afford them, but walked away with great memories.

I tend to bite off more than what I can chew, and then chew like hell!!

[JeffDoz]

Off the cuff comment here, but maybe we (one of you two and I) should build a car together for the endurance events and share the costs, something cheap to buy, maintain (non turbo) and cheap to get parts for, like a 2.5 NA impreza.

Cage it, throw a seat in it with harness, proper fuel cell system, a set of springs on some low-down race struts (yes, they do make them). Wheels are cheap, tyres are cheap (especlally from tirerack), parts are cheap from any wrecker/ebay and it's off and racing.

[sonic]

I would love to Jeff and i've even discussed this with others in the past. But alas if i go and start blowing more money on motorsport i will be divorced no ifs or buts lol.

I wish i was a millionaire! I'd say yes in a heartbeat!

At this time in my life I am a dreamer as far as big events go.
I already have the na car.. a 97 excel which i am working on as a dirt car.

This is something I'm possibly going to look at for 2012. Get a cheap reliable car in partnership with another for the 12hr & also now the 6/8hrs at EC & PI.
Be interesting to see where these events go in 2011 first though. The 12hr is struggling to get competitors apparently (even after opening it up to GT), and only 13 entries to the EC 8hr.

For next year I'll be hoping to run the FTO in all rounds of the Prod Sports Enduro series, might even get me a trophy or 2 ;)

So looking forward to a 1 hour race around Bathurst at Easter :)

All budget pending of course :(

[sonic]

^^ If you want to run in those enduro events you will need a later model car, there are eligibility lists, they don't want shitboxes running around breaking down all over the place and messing up the events for others.

For example you can only run an evo 8 or newer in the 12hr and i'm pretty sure it's the same for the EC 6hr.

EG:

[Shane001]

U calling my FTO a shitbox lol!

Yeah I realise the FTO won't be eligible. It would be easier for potential new competitors though to have a clearer indication of age eligibility for these events though, rather than just a list of eligible cars.

Anyway that's a while off for me yet :)

[sonic]

^^ ha ha no i'm not calling your FTO a shitbox but i'm pretty sure the value of the car has to be more than the event entry to be eligible ;) j/k

[evil_weevil]

Stuart,
keen on any info you have or updates too for the regularity for easter!

Sad isnt it, it also goes along way to explaining why they only get 13 cars at the E/C event on Sunday just passed, and only about the same have entered Bathurst 12 hour so far.

Of course along with other things causing problems, like the Elf fuel (the diesel runners all said it was basically high octane mud/gel), and subarus dont like the Elf fuel (ask Sti in Melbourne, they say DONT RUN IT! - after we warned them of the bad mix it has and that was then verified), so I met two people who said if Elf is the fuel they have to run they wont be back because it blew two engines in two years.

Little things like that, like taking away freedom of choice of products. A sponsorship of an event is one thing, a demand they use a type of product and get nothing back is wrong, and very anti-competitive.

[Shane001]

^^ ha ha no i'm not calling your FTO a shitbox but i'm pretty sure the value of the car has to be more than the event entry to be eligible ;) j/k

Now now play nice, my car is worth more than $7500!

As an engine builder for years, and ex HSV specialist, you are totally correct it is and abosulte joke, the workshops and tune shops we have available with zero knowledge of their product - they all mix their capabilites and probabilites with the customers cash. I personally with the R32 and R33 have had work carried out in Brisbane and Sydney at various shops - not cause we can afford to - its that I can't afford not to be working (now in earthmoving) We have not been to a shop that you don't need something else to get the tune right. When they do it, you often end up with issues - 95% of the time. So you bring it home - fix all there stuff ups - again, and then try again, I think if they did the right thing in the first place, they would double there cash flow anways - as there is plenty out there keen, but not to be ripped.

If things don't improve over christmas with our new computer - we will be looking at Konica car - converting it back to carburation, then I can do the tunes - saves me 10K a year!

All the crap - intercoolers too small, turbo's too big, need a blow off valve, run out of mapping on injectors, air flow meters can't cope anymore, actuators need update, and on and on and on n on n on n on - for the dyno time we have had in the last two years I reckon I could have run the car on the track, for the same, same.

Yes Dyno time is required but bloody hell so's track

990 bucks - Im there!

[Shane001]

so got an email with entry forms for Bathurst in 2011 :0

990 bucks - Im there!

which category?

[35R]

The minimum time is 2:40 isnt it?

- bummer!

[Shane001]

umm, minimum time for what?

[Delft Maloo]

The minimum time is 2:40 isnt it?

- bummer!

i reckon you could do it dunc:yep: .

[DRE]

The minimum time is 2:40 isnt it?

- bummer!

I was thinking the same thing. I've never driven there before so would be a good experience nevertheless but would this be too much of a Sunday drive?

The R35's are doing 20's aren't they?

[Shane001]

I don't know where this 2:40 time came from or what it's all about but have a look at the times from across the weekend at this years FOSC event that this event is replacing. If this is suggesting you need to be doing times faster than 2:40 then at least 3/4 of the grids will be sent home, including all but the top 10 to 15 Prod Sports cars.
http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?04/04/2010.BATH

[Shane001]

Actually looking at the regularity part of this weekend maybe it's no cars faster than 2:40 lol!
http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?06/04/2010.BATH

[Shane001]

To answer my own question lol...

Regularity is $990 with an accepted lap time range from 2:40 to 3:28 (copied from another forum).

[35R]

To answer my own question lol...

Regularity is $990 with an accepted lap time range from 2:40 to 3:28 (copied from another forum).

Correct, it's all in the info pack. No cars quicker than 2:40-ish

[HRT VZ]

Personally I think 2.40 is pretty quick, at fosc earlier this year I managed a 2.44 and I was stoked!!!!!!!
Traffic will destroy any chances of super quick times anyway, and a misjudged corner will ruin the experience altogether.......

I had a ball
f0gV9mhT_Uo

[Shane001]

Personally I think 2.40 is pretty quick

Yep agree. Consider for the whole weekend only maybe 20 or 30 cars went faster than 2:40, that includes Prod Sports & Improved Production racecars.

Also consider the safety aspects, most of the regularity cars don't have full cage, don't have full safety gear, also a lot of drivers with limited experience.

So when you think about it that's not a bad rule, though it'll surely piss some off.... until they get there and realise just how fast 2:40 is!

PS: Great vid :)

[sonic]

Regularity aside, does anybody have any info on the race categories? And will a CAMS NC licence be a minimum requirement?

A few years back at the inqugural Drive Bathurst event i did a 2.42 on RE55s in my road evo with under 200kwatw and i had only been doing motorsport for 12 months so was taking it quite easy. Any AWD turbo car with a decent driver is going to find it difficult to stay above 2.40.

My current car would be a certainty to lap under 2.30 and i don't want to have to put the brakes on at the end of the lap and dawdle over the finish line to avoid getting booted. But aside from that, 5 sessions spread over 3 days is too much waiting around imo - that's the real deal breaker for me.

I still might be interested in racing that w/e pending regs and licence requirements.

Just dragged these out:

No second track for Bathurst

And will a CAMS NC licence be a minimum requirement?


Pretty sure NC is always minimum requirement to race at Bathurst.
