Hi guys, we have been OFFICIALLY invited to the following regularity event. The only requirements for drivers is a CAMS licence, and the only requirement for cars is harness, fire ext, helmet, and wrist to ankle clothing. Should work out around $130 ish for about an hour track time.
WE NEED EXPRESSION OF INTEREST so that we can secure some of the 50 spots that will be offered to all PCV, 356 and 901 members. Please respond HERE asap.
Read below for the details, and communicate via me. It would be great to have 10-20 of the old girls out there, so get a harness, a FE and helmet and lets get out there!!!
Stewart and I, hereby lodge our interest!!!
Dear PCV / 356 / 901 members
Challenge Cup Promoters Pty Ltd, Category Managers for the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia series propose that PCV, 356 & 901 Registers combine to conduct a Regularity Trial for their members at Round 2 of the GT3 Cup Challenge series to be held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit as a part of the Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Series on Saturday & Sunday, 16 & 17 May.
Due to the recent cancellation of Carrera Cup Australia there will be some track time available at this round of the Shannons Nationals and Porsche Cars Australia and ourselves thought that it would be a wise move to secure the 'slot' and use it for Porsche customers / enthusiasts.
What is a Regularity Trial?
Regularity Trials are conducted to give people an opportunity to drive on a race track without the potential 'panel rubbing' that may occur in racing. It is also an ideal way for novices to be able to 'trial' sprints etc, without the competitiveness.
Any vehicle can compete in a Regularity Trial - it does NOT have to have a CAMS logbook and can be their 'Sunday drive' vehicle.
Competitors need only hold a CAMS Level 2S licence as a minimum
Competitors need only wear a helmet and ankle to wrist clothing with enclosed shoes
There are to be NO lap timers / stop watches etc used in the cars
Session 1 - An Observation / Practice session
This session is used by participants to familiarize themselves with the track
At the conclusion of the session participants are shown their lap times and are asked to 'nominate' a time for the Regularity Trial
Session 2/3 - Regularity Trial
Participants circulate around the track and at the conclusion of the session scoring is finalized.
For every ½ sec participants are quicker than their nominated time they are penalized 2 points and for every ½ sec they are slower than their nominated time they are penalized 1 point.
The same is applied to Session 3 if there is one (track time available and scheduling dependant).
At the conclusion of the event awards are presented based on the lowest scoring participants.
Logistics
The track density at PI I believe for Regularity Trials is 60 cars.
On preliminary discussions with PIARC they have suggested that all Regularity Trial vehicles could be located on the infield at PI in front of the green sheds (turn right when exiting the tunnel on the infield side) This area is now all bitumen and can comfortably fit 60 cars on display.
Cars can then use the return road to Turn 4 (sealed) to enter/exit the track without the need to traverse through the paddock area.
PCA are looking to have a 'Porsche Lounge' at the event (a relaxed version of Corporate Hospitality), allowing all Porsche Club members / owners the opportunity to mingle.
There will also be a Charity Auction fundraising dinner at the Eco Resort to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House. All PCV/356/901 members are more than welcome to attend as this is an opportunity for all Porsche fanatics to come together.
Costs
Sunday track time available = 35 mins = $6708 + GST
Saturday track time available = 20mins FOC
At a cost of $6708 for 55-60mins of track time at a National Race Meeting, and an anticipated 50+ participants (road cars can be used) a suggested 'entry fee' of $135 would cover costs.
This would include 2 x event entry tickets for competitors with a reduced ticket price for additional tickets purchased.
Accommodation
GT3 Cup Challenge have secured a number of 2 & 3 bedroom villas at the Eco Resort, Cowes. A significantly discounted rate has been negotiated for 3 night stays (3 bedroom villa sleeps up to 6 = $129/night), however, I am sure that a reasonable rate can be agreed upon for a 1 or 2 night stay.
OVERVIEW
Saturday 1 x 20min familiarization/observation session - times tbc
Parking on 'infield' of track
Use Porsche Cars Australia 'teams lounge' facility
Charity Auction dinner with Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge competitors / sponsors / crew etc at Eco Resort
Discounted accommodation rates for all Porsche members at Eco Resort
Sunday 1 x 35 min 'Regularity Trial' slot
Use Porsche Cars Australia 'teams lounge' facility
Please feel free to call me and discuss this opportunity to be a part of the Shannons Nationals Series along with other Porsche enthusiasts.
Best regards,
