    For anyone that is wondering what the 2015 event is going to be like there's a nice write-up from the Adelaide event held last week here: Adelaide: Monthly Coffee and Drive Meet - Discussion Thread

    The format this year has changed from previous years and you no longer have an instructor sitting in the car beside you the whole time. This means less time wasted with driver changes and more bum in seat time for everyone.

    There's still a few tickets for the Brisbane event and some discount codes kicking around if anyone needs one.

    Well that was amazing.
    Learnt a lot in regards to handling and alignment.
    Also totally changed how I sat in my car.

    In the skid pans, just floor it and go hard haha, almost spun it but that was the point. (:

    Was impressed with the Scirocco R in regards to corning.

    Def something I'd love to do again next year.

    Looks like you had fun! Can't wait till my session tomorrow morning

    In your video, the car you were following had hazards on. Was that the pace car? Or just another participant?

    Was brilliant fun man haha.
    Wish I could do it again, the cones course was awesome, really proved looking ahead makes a difference with technical work.

    Yes, it was a Pace car, with the instructors.
    They also had one on the rear.

    This was the first laps we did in the Scirocco R before switching to the Golf R.
