Qld Club Driver Training afternoon at Mt Cotton - 19 May

Postby Abyss » Thu Mar 01, 2007 5:27 pm

Mt. Cotton Driver Training Afternoon, Saturday 19th May


Join us for an afternoon of driver training at Mt Cotton Training Centre under the guidance of SDT - Safe Drive Training (Aust) Pty Ltd.

Where else can you learn and have fun at the same time!

Date: Saturday 19th May

Time: 12.30pm-4.30pm

Where: Mt Cotton Training Centre Large Vehicle Manoeuvring Area (LVMA)
1753 - 1799 Mt Cotton Road
Cornubia Queensland 4130

Cost: $58

Maximum participants: 24

Payment Due: Monday 2nd April 2007 (those people who get the 24 spots will be forwarded payment details)


There is a 90 dB noise limit at the centre and no drifting is allowed.

As this event is capped at 24 participants, it is only open to current club members.

First 24 people to e-mail me at mx5drivertraining@gmail.com will get a spot. If payment is not made by the due date, your spot will be offered to the next person on the list.

I am also looking for a person/s to help out on the day, so if you don’t want to drive but are willing to help with timing etc. let me know.


Outline for the afternoon:

Initially they divide participants into 3 groups of a maximum of 8 (24 attendees) and setup 2 timed driving events (one of which is very open) and the 3rd group drives the road loop behind the LVMA as a hillclimb/mountain road (practicing cornering lines, heel/toe etc).

The groups move through each activity with usually 2 runs at each.

After all groups have completed the three events, they setup one very large course across the LVMA or if we like 2 medium size courses and then participants have 2 or 3 runs at each layout.

Feedback from other clubs is very positive with excellent bang for bucks and plenty of driving time.

That's alright you'll fit right in... especially if I drive.

Ohh and what the heck I'm in... just hope it's not too loud.

Abyss, I sent off an email to you about this. Is there any sort of notification as to whether those who have applied have made the cut or not. I am very keen to do one of these training days.
