    Driver Education Day II - Peter Fitzgerald @ Winton

    ok, seeing if we can get this one off the ground again...

    here is the history:
    The Australian TYP 901 register is forum for enthusiasts who pay homage to this remarkable machine.

    Hey guys,

    saw Peter Fitzgerald on the weekend (Porsche Cup driver for over 30 years). He runs driver education days at Winton throughout the year, and I have done one about 4-5 years ago and found it really really good.

    He limits the number of people to 6 (yes SIX), and you get about an hour in the classroom first, and then the whole day on the track, yep, just the six of you!

    You get one on one tuition with him both in and out of the car, and he will drive you in your car if you wish. You get timed, and your improvement will be logged and recorded.

    It is a great day and well worth it for anyone considering the 6 hour event, as you will get a heck of a lot of it, and be sure that the track is basically empty for you to screw up and improve!!!

    Both Michael Japp, Marcus Hancock and I will probably do it, and thought that maybe we could make it an all Early 911 training session!!

    Let me know if you are interested, and I can then get Peter to get in touch with you. The date is yet to be confirmed but will be in the next month or so.


    so, anyone care to express interest and nominate a new date for this (either later in 2008 or early 2009)? My preference is a Monday (cheaper, and weekend to get up there and set up etc)... but with enough lead time to organise leave from work. obviously depends on Peter Fitzgerald's availability and the availability of the track.

    Cheers

                i think last time there was discussion about holding the event on the monday... i think from the point of view that it makes getting the track booking easier (and cheaper?)... so better add a day or two past the 23rd otherwise you'll be on a plane back to darwin whilst we're on the track!
