No problem Danny. Just general interest. I'd like to come along and spectate but work is quite heavy at the moment so unlikely to get the time out.
Good luck with the next event.

Sadly no. There is only one week a year that you can do a track day at Bathurst. I could buy a second R for the cost of the event though. I have since moved away from Bathurst so not sure if that event even still happens.
We do our track days at a little circuit 2 hours from Bathurst called Wakefield Park, here my last video from there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hD2NzAbLp0

About 110 miles or 176 km was about 55 laps hard and then cooling laps so about 60 in total of a 1.85 mile circuit the car does about 4miles per gallon or a tank every 20 laps give or take, I suppose I should get a go pro...never really thought about it.

Should be on firkin water!
That's a bloody big day out. Hopefully I'll get mine to that point one day.
I have the Go Pro for 2 reasons, 1st it's interesting to watch back and see how much you got it right vs wrong and second is if something goes wrong and you end up in an accident there is no arguing with video footage. I know it doesn't mean much on circuit but it could save you a lot of trouble dealing with some clown who thinks he's in the right.
I've got an HKS DMR, but I haven't used it on the track yet; just on the road. - It's the same logic though; let it record what I saw (and if I plug the rear camera in, what was behind me), and log the speed/location by GPS.
On the road it's valid evidence that it wasn't my fault (or maybe it was), and perhaps that I wasn't speeding... although that may not say what I want it to.
I like the idea of reviewing what I did right/wrong on the track, and also being able to record the second input (so instead of using the rear camera, have it pointing at gauges or pedals).

I expect they were pretty economical considering they probably didn't even have to use full throttle to overtake him :dance:

It will go bang one day Davie , I have no disillusion of that at all but has done so well for so long I like to celebrate it a bit, I mean some people can't get them to last anytime at all and slate the car, when as proven its not the car it's how it's put together.
