UPDATE
Sorry I have been slack keeping everyone in the loop on this.
I have spoken to Pete who organises these events on the XR5 forum.
There is a track day taking place on 13th October.
At this point I think I can get 5 of the ClubCJ guys spots for the day. 5 will be perfect as then you can have your own session if that suits. There is no problem fitting into other sessions either though.
Please let me know ASAP in this thread if you are interested. If we get more than 5, I will put a reserve list up and there may be spots develop before the event.
It is $160, and this will be need to be paid to secure a spot. I will give details to those who are interested.

Hi guys,
I am considering organising a track day / driver training day at Marulan.
Date is TBA.
I need people who are seriously interested in participating in an event like this. We need around 20 - 25 people to make this viable. If there is enough interest, I will contact MDTC and get some available dates. I am thinking late June / July at this point.
If you are interested please let me know in this thread. If not, then please don't say you are to get the numbers This sort of event takes a considerable amount of organisation and expense.
It will cost approx $160 if we get max number of participants plus licence fee if applicable.
I can possibly invite some other guys along to make up numbers also.
Please see below a run down of how the day works, and a couple of clips of the track
What: ClubCJ Track Day Â
Date: TBA - Depends on Viability.
Where: Marulan Driver Training Centre, Marulan NSW. Â
Timeline:
Gates open at 8am, drivers must sign in when they arrive.

Track Sessions:
Sessions are 10min duration with max. of 6 cars on the track at any time. No overtaking on any part of the circuit other than the main straight. This is good for inexperienced drivers as they will not have to be checking their mirrors the whole time.  The facility will  match drivers of similar ability in the groups. You can swap groups throughout the day if your initial group is unsuitable.

You must have a track licence to particiate. Any CAMS Licence is Ok, otherwise you must purchase a MDTC licence for $30 which is good for 12months.

Must have an Australian Standard Helmet. Should you not have one, Helmets are available to hire for $20 (plus $50 refundable cash deposit). Drivers must wear long sleeves and long pants along with closed in shoes.
Instructor:
We will have an instructor on hand to advise those who need help. He can do so in-car or from the pit-lane, whichever you chose. He will be there for the entire day.
Ambulance:
We will have a private ambulance at the track all day.
Services: Â
There is is no refuelling facility at the track. There is a BP service centre 7km from the facility.
A full range of refreshments is available onsite, with some of our most popular items including:
â—¦Cappuccinos
â—¦Hot chocolate
â—¦Cold Drinks
â—¦Freshly prepared food
â—¦Confectionary
All of which is available at an affordable price.
Safety:
The Marulan Driver Training Centre facility has been constructed with stringent safety in mind and features a tyre barriers along the full length of the outside of the training loop to ensure the safety of our participants and their cars. The venue has been inspected and approved by the relevant authorities. The circuit complies with and exceeds Industry Standards. MDTC has installed a state of the art noise monitor and recording system to ensure that our participants cars are kept under the 90db limit.
Things to remember:
The roads into the facility have an 80km/h speed limit. Please observe the posted limit when travelling to and from the facility.
The drivers briefing is COMPULSORY, even iff you have been to the facility before. NO briefing, NO drive.

They must have modified the track extensively in the last 18 months, then.
Edit: just watched vid from OP - they are using the short track.
Marulan is a very technical circuit - it is short, and will test your skills.

There is only 1 track there as far as I am aware. I have only been there the 2 times though, both less than 12 months ago. Last time there was a little damage as you can probably see in the videos. This was due to extreme amounts of rain... This did not affect the day really.
