Volkswagen GTi Driving Academy

**Golf Mark 6** · 14-10-2009, 06:20 PM

I come from a family of VW fans. My brother drives a VW Polo GTi and my Dad drives a Mk 5 Golf Gti. We live in Perth.

My old man received a black envelope with the code for the VW driving academy track day. He's currently away on holidays.

I wanted to surprise him with a trip to Melbourne/ Sydney for one of the track days, but I'm unsure how the whole thing works.

If I register him WITH the code does that give him an extra chance of actually receiving an invite?

Don't really want to go to the trouble of booking flighs/ accomodation if he misses out...

It is a lottery, but I reckon you will have a better chance with the code.

However there will be every hairdresser that has a GTI entering, so the odds are against you!

Good luck.

So did anyone get the call up? Supposed to be drawn yesterday i think.

I've owned three generations of GTI now (1, 4 & 5) ... surely that should be enough to get me a look in.

Got an email about selected to participate in sydney track day, really surprised about this. I never owned VW before and didn't have the code, just entered my detail last week. Now i just have to fly myself there...

I think the code means you don't get picked, haha.

yep i got chosen as well and i didn't have a code. Was just as surprised as richard.

i think it might depend on your current car and your answer.
