Beginners Guide to Motorsport Trackdays

 

To get started this you will need a Motorsport Australia license or AASA license depending on the track your want to attend. The cost varies sligtly ~approx $150 a year and track day entry is usually $130-250 depending where and when you attend. You will need a Motorsport Australia approved fire extinguisher, a Battery location sticker (blue triangle) and a helmet that conforms to Australian standards.

Motorsport Australia's website has a wealth of information regarding safety and you can purchase your license and book events via their website portal.

Once you've booked (see the clubs below for when and where) it's then time to sort the car out with a comprehensive safety check and a minor service. 

Ensure you complete a full pre-race check to ensure you car is nice and safe.  Herea a link to a simple re race checklist we have made for the beginner.

The last thing to remember is to take spare fuel and long sleeve cotton pants and top and closed toe shoes.
