Haven't been to Lakeside in years and the mummy wagon needs a run.

that's more like a sprint then.

how much do they cost?

I have never driven on Lakeside :( Done more laps (sideways, not timed) on QR than I can count though. I am keen to go and watch at lakeside if the rx8 day works out.. I work for Mazda :P Might even take the camera out!

70NYD 03-01-2012 08:27 PM

This one is ~160 for half day, +licence. Let me know if you want to come and il check with numbers, as it is 10cars max for our slot and the other members are looking for replacements as well. And the people might not drop out anyway.. It's wierd as the thread isn't as updated as often as it should be and this is creeping closer and closer.

Nardi330 03-01-2012 08:32 PM

i have done a few happy laps at LS but personally i will never do sprints there. the rails are too close at places.

need a manual car to do sprints again. the 86 can't come soon enough!!

Nafe 03-01-2012 08:59 PM

Nardi - You need a manual car and I need a car with more than 30kw hahaha.
It was crap coming from 200+kw into the mira....

Tony - keep us posted man. I won't be driving as its not worth it in the mira, but keen to take the camera out :)

70NYD 03-01-2012 09:17 PM

Aaah tru
Well il keep you postedp

when it opens, maybe they will start putting stuff up on the website as well.

next time i go to Japan (probably mid 2013), i'll surely drop into a Toyota dealer listed on the page to check them out.

LOL! yeah, my bad. I forgot to add that the Merch store opens 7th April. But you take a quick glance of what they have from the Ustream video @ 25:38 to 27:00.

there are T-Shirts, collared T-Shirts, bags, shoes, watches, "86" push bike, Wallet, Sunglasses, brief cases...etc.


The thing is i don't know if we will get any of that here, probably just order it from Japan or something.

Nardi330 03-01-2012 10:19 PM

for me i just want a 1:43 model car in the colour of my 86.

Nardi330 03-01-2012 11:54 PM

^ Maybe that was the mule they had over here to test the suspension as Nick Senior said in one of the articles.

Nardi330 03-02-2012 01:16 AM

i think this is a Toyota.

there have been a few mules and test cars in Australia. Subaru showed a BRZ at the Imprezza launched last week and apparently that particular BRZ is scheduled for crash test soon.
