There is a drift and drive (lapsprint) day on 19 Sep 10. They need 40 entries to make this a reality. The last one was cancelled due to lack of interest, with only 6 entries, which is a shame because closer to 20 cars came to the private test day held in lieu. There will be plenty of track time, and you will not find a more laid back event in Australia. Possibly.
Cut and paste of the regs is below. As soon as they are up on the website I'll post a link. (these were emailed to me, so I hope I'm not jumping the gun...oh well!)
