Pretty sure that is the private track (Owned by some bloke with way too much money) and he hires it out mots weekends.

I reckon that's a bit harsh, haha, he is a great bloke that risks a $60K noise complaint fine if the DB meter exceeds nominated limits. It's a business as far as I am aware...

There are multiple days over the year it is open, and it is a pretty good track for smaller not over powered cars.

Further to that Garry Wilmington was the track manager at Wakefield before it was sold a few years back. He's now the owner/operator at Marulan, I think describing him as a bloke with way too much money is a bit generous too, but that's another conversation for another time I guess.

Although, it was surprising how hard I had to work to get past on the straight there, haha.

Marulan is a good technical track in general, where you can see quick results from improvements in line and technique, but it's especially suited to cars like the Mk1.

Gary Wilmington is a very smart man. Always came across as a pretty damn decent bloke, helpful etc etc.. And he's a bloody good steerer to boot.

Just because he has been fortunate enough to make quite a comfortable living from what he does isn't a reason to judge him negatively. I think it's a good reason to commend him.

I'd definitely be going to him for advice before many other driving instructors.
