Hey guys,
On the 17th and 18th of October the Winton 6hr event is on! It's an event that requires you to qualify with a lap time of under 2 mins on the Saturday. Nominate a time that you think you can do consistently, then try and hit that time with 40 other cars on the track, unknown weather conditions, vehicle and body fatigue, etc!
It's a team event (Max 6 in a team) that is run like a relay - except instead of a baton, you have a velcro sash and instead of a few hundred metres before passing the sash, you're racing for ideally an hour.
Last year we entered two teams and although we didnt place too well, we had an absolute ball and learnt alot along the way. This year, we are far more organised. We have had a meeting to go over the Sup Regs and discuss some strategy already, team long sleeve shirts, race stickers for the cars and accomodation for the weekend is all being sorted out now. The cars will be checked over and tested to avoid reliability issues where possible.0
We have two teams entered - although we have 4 vacancies in one team - This team originally called the oddbods is going to be renamed team Rising Sun. The other team is made of Classic Celicas (ta22, ra23 and ra28's).
If you are interested in this event and would like to participate or volunteer to help out in some way, let me know.

Let me know asap if you want to be a part of something great! :) No previous motorsport experience is required, but we will be going to a track day before the event for a practice session.
