2009 Mt Buller Sprint on December 4th - 6th in Victoria, Australia

 

Run over a sixteen kilometre closed road from the foot of Mt Buller in north-east Victoria to the Resort township on the mountain’s peak, the course contains more than 132 different corners separated by short bursts of straight and cambered tarmac, all taken under tyre in less than 10 minutes.
The Mt Buller Sprint is open to both Classic cars (pre-1982) and Modern cars (1982 onwards), ensuring a great mix of different rally and race cars making the climb every year.
This year’s entries so far include cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 RSRs and 996 Turbos, classic and modern Holden and Ford V8s such as the Capri Perana and LJ Torana, American muscle like the Corvette Z06, a gaggle of Nissan, Subaru and Mitsubishi AWD saloons, and even a Mazda3 Diesel.
Some of the fastest cars to tackle the mountain have already gained entry to the exclusive ‘Sub-Nine Club’. Sponsored by TARMAC Magazine, only two of the ten trophies symbolising entry to this exclusive league of speedsters remain up for grabs this year.
This year, the sprint moves from the Melbourne Cup long weekend to Friday 4th – Sunday 6th December to make use of optimal summer alpine conditions and avoid other event conflicts. Day one, Friday December 4, kicks off the weekend with a shakedown and prologue utilising the final 2.5km of the full course to enable competitors to get a feel for this unique road.
Over Saturday and Sunday, the drivers have a minimum of four full runs each day to hone their skills and shave their times, with the worst run dropped in final results to tighten the competition even further. Last year, efficient time management and tireless work by the Sprint’s dedicated officials enabled 11 stages to be run over two days, to the delight of spectators and competitors alike.

The Targa Tasmania Rally 2009.

The following comments are from Matt Close who has entered in the modern competition and from all at RDA / EBC Brakes we wish Matt & Cameron well.

Every year the competition gets hotter and even though our car has never been better, I have the same goal as last year.
To finish! A top 5 outright would be brilliant, with a top three being the dream.
Our 2000 Porsche Turbo is the oldest car in our class (class 9) and the list of possible winners is long with the new GTR 35 Nissan (6 of them!) and Jim Richards in the latest Porsche GT2 being the favourites.
Although we have won the prologue for the last 2 years, I am not expecting to repeat this as we have a totally new suspension which will lend itself more to the bumps and the wet, hopefully giving us a better set up for the actual rally stages. I have taken a different tack and gone for a soft suspension setup with softer tyres.
This year will be my 6th Targa Tasmania but the first without Casey in the Nav seat. Cameron Reeves (from Queensland) will join me while Casey takes a short break (she said I'm too slow!).
Cameron and I competed recently in Targa West Point in February and finished 4th outright in similar company to Targas' entry list.

RDA / EBC Brakes Wakefield Park NSW Sprint

Date: Monday 27th April 2009 (Anzac Monday)

With two rounds of the EPCC now complete, some competitors may have found that their factory fitted brakes could do with a little more bite...well those without a carbon ceramic setup anyway.
Luckily this round of the series is sponsored by RDA Brakes - just what you need to brake later and dive deeper into each corner than ever before.
That's right, the EPCC heads south to the recently resurfaced Wakefield Park Raceway – commonly referred to as the ‘Kiddie Pool’. Why the ‘Kiddie Pool’? Wakefield Park is without doubt one of the safest and most forgiving race tracks in NSW with more than enough run off area and kitty litter than is required – that and not a concrete wall in sight!
Not to sure if your factory brakes can take the heat - then cast away those OEM paper weights and upgrade to a set of RDA Slotted or Gold Passivated Rotors. They not only look great behind your wheels - thet will shave seconds off your lap time too.
Attendees not only benefit from advanced driver training from the Ian Luff Team - All circuit attendees will recieve discounted pricing on all RDA Brake Products!
Cost: $200 including driver training, motorsport photography, in car and external circuit footage, light refreshments and lap timing.
With $600 worth of RDA Brakes slotted and gold passivated brake discs, performance pads, plus more series points on the table, we hope to see you there.

  Blood, Sweat & Gears explains the different driver types in terms of their psychology or Attitude. There are four types - Debut Drivers, Decoy Drivers, Daring Drivers and Driveaholics. It's crucial for young drivers (in fact - all drivers) to know which type of driver they are, so that the the positives of each type can be exaggerated, and the negatives minimised.
