    yeah mate there is. Best to take your pushbike or another car to get around the back of the track, long walk. Otherwise along the put wall is ok, but best down the far end where you enter the front straight like below. That's about all the angles you can get. On the outside of turn 2 (around the back) is good as you're carrying more speed, and will have the occassional person in the dirt

    Will do, sorry should have done that when you first asked! I take it the passenger you mentioned first is your Dad, or do you have 2 passengers?

    The track is very flat (one of it's few advantages) so you can see most of the action from anywhere, and like Sean mentioned, the best shots are usually to be had near the corners esp corners 1,2, 3 & 6. Good idea about the pushbike Sean!

    This is the policy from Shannons

    You are not covered if your motor vehicle or motorcycle is
    being driven/ridden:
    • on a race track or testing ground or a closed road, or
    • whilst you are participating in a course conducted,
    advertised, promoted or designed to improve high
    speed driving skills or to improve or prepare for any
    form of motor sport.
    You are not covered if your motor vehicle or motorcycle is
    being used for any motor sport.
    Generally the theory goes like this, if you cannot afford to crash it - leave it at home.
    MK4 GTI - Sold
    MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
    MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.

    Awesome, those angles look really good. It would be quite interesting in the photos if anyone goes off there haha.

    As transport goes Dad will be bringing his new pride and joy just to show off (not on the track obviously). Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE. He won't let me drive it yet though, looking forward to when he does though.

    This time it’s Queensland Raceway for breakfast ($25) and it's the Full National Circuit! (see team_v's post below)
    Apologies to people who requested Saturdays, this was the only remaining weekend date available in May (Sunday 27th May).
    The Safety Briefing/Breakfast starts at 7:30 and we should be out on the track by 8:30am.
    It is recommended that people arrive in plenty of time, maybe around 7:20.

    Menu:
    Fresh toast
    Fried or Scrambled eggs
    Crispy bacon
    Gourmet chipolatas
    Baked beans
    Tea & coffee

    Rules:
    Following on from Lakeside Happy Lap Rules (but subject to confirmation at briefing):
    • No PPE gear required (i.e. no need for a helmet, fireproof long sleeved shirt etc).
    • Do not frustrate other drivers by holding them up in corners and then making it difficult for them to pass you on the straights –
    watch your mirrors, be considerate and move over on the straights, and if necessary slow down to let them pass
    • No undercutting to overtake on the corners.
    • Only overtake on straight sections of the track
    • If you are not overtaking anyone on the straight stay to one side of the track and let quicker cars overtake


    People other than the driver:
    People who wish to passenger/split the driving are required to pay the same amount as the driver.
    People who wish to watch from trackside do not have to pay unless they want breakfast.
    Anyone can come and passenger with you if they are willing to pay for breakfast.

    With Queensland Raceway being a slightly bigger track than Lakeside, and there being more safe “run-off” areas, I have been advised that we could have at least 35 cars on the track. We might trial this number depending on interest, and if it works well we can repeat at the next outing, otherwise we can adjust as appopriate.

    If the Main List fills up, nominations will go on the reserve list and when/if someone pulls out you will get moved from reserve into the main list.
    Unfortunately if you do not make it to the main list you can't be accommodated at the event (apart from spectating or as a passenger) but if there are any remaining on the reserve list by the cut-off date I will place them on the main list if we organise another event at QR to give a fair spread.

    Please let me know if you are coming and how many people you will be bringing with you for catering purposes.

    Queensland Raceway is located about 20 minutes west of Ipswich just off the Cunningham Highway (travelling towards Warwick) at the end of Champions Way at the Ipswich Motorsport Precinct. Turning right into Champions Way from Cunningham Highway, you will go past Willowbank Drag Strip and Ipswich Kart Track. Go to the end of the road (kinks to the right) and turn left into the Qld Raceway carpark. You should be able to park close to the Control Tower which is where the briefing will be held.

    Be aware that there are frequently speed camera vans located on the highway close to the racetrack.

    Thanks to Clay for the template!

    Hey sorry guys noob question;

    If I were to make the final list and bought my dad and a mate or none or either, and they were not going to be driving, or passengering while I was. (Purely there to watch from the sidelines). Would I need to ask you to put them down as a passenger? And would they need to pay?

    Thanks in advance

    People attending only need to pay if they are going to be in the car.
    They can choose to pay and get breakfast if they want but they don't have to unless they are in the car.
