Track Day Tracks

Postby Possum » Mon Dec 03, 2012 8:47 am

Next year im having a crack at a track day!

So What do I need and need to know?
What do I need to know about the tracks round the country?
Broady, Winton, or Mallala will be the first track..

Open for advice
It all comes down to how you ride it.....

I haven't been to Mallala, but between Winton and broady I would be choosing broady for my first time.
Small track not too many corners to learn, great surface with elevation changes.
I would say not as intimidating as Winton. Wintons bumpy and from my point of view a bit of a goat track, real front end reliant.

Awesome and noted 8) I have been to both as a spectator. The elevation screws a few up at Broady particularly the drop into the right hander near the run off to the pits, from all the tracks ive seen its certainly unique.
