**Spilly209** · 31-03-2014, 08:32 PM

I'll be there. Will be the last time we can use the GP circuit until May. Can't bring myself to book track days on the extended circuit anymore...

It isn't always, but in this instance it is GP track. Here's the web page: http://www.sydneymotorsportpark.com....TE-PRACTICE/15
(you need to click on the 'Upcoming dates' tab...)

I'm thinking of doing 2-3 days at PI instead of the EC extended circuit this year. That + the GP circuit ride days & racing ought to cut it. Might do CSS L3-4 too since that's on GP circuit and they give you loads of private track time if you're faster than your group so long as you're not a dick about it.

Yeh I'm gonna start doing Wakey more often instead.

Honestly I just think the new section is designed like shit. If they took out one of the kinks and built up a banking on the hairpin (like Simmons plains) and fixed how it joins back onto the original track (same goes for the link for south circuit) it would be nice. Right now it's clumsy with dicky cambers. It's clearly been designed for drifting. They boast it as Motard friendly (which is how they managed to kill the Motard nights at the kart track) but the tards hate it because it's too high speed, if I took my tard there I'd throw a rod out..

**Marshy** · 01-04-2014, 07:36 AM

I suspect that many more of the ECRD dates for the second half of the year will be GP circuit. Using the full circuit allowed them to squeeze an additional 20 full paying punters in for the day (which used to be a very successful little earner for Brouggy), but that model only works if you have booked out track days! People have voted with their wallets, and there have been some of the emptiest track days recently I've seen since the monopoly began 4 or 5 years ago. The last day I was there had 60 people booked! Out of a possible 180.

**chubb** · 01-04-2014, 08:10 AM

You guys just need to get through it as quick as possible.. Track time is still track time.

I used to hate the new section but now after learning the right lines and the speed you can get through there I don't mind it now..

**Spilly209** · 01-04-2014, 08:21 AM

Yeah, I think they are listening albeit slowly. On the day Marshy is talking about they had a survey where you register asking if you prefer the GP or Full circuit. It was about 5-1 in favour of the GP circuit and I'm betting the votes for the full circuit were from newbs who thought bigger = better. Hope they do make more GP dates in the 2nd half of the year. The other thing is too, it just feels like the full circuit is kinda a waste for race practice. Besides not being used in any racing I find it fucks up my turn 6 entry and takes me a few sessions on GP track just to get back to normal again.

**dan** · 01-04-2014, 09:36 AM

Spilly I'm bringing my new bucket racer out on Saturday you'll love it

**Spilly209** · 01-04-2014, 09:37 AM

Awesome Dan. I just sold the oldest bike in my "collection". It was a 2006 model lol
