    I assume they also supply helmets?
    The course outline indicates its approximately 3hours long but each session time has a two hour difference so I assume its also only 2 hours long?

    Not necessarily,
    Course is two parts, classroom and track, so its quite possible that the classroom sessions could be running whilst others are out on the track.

    Re the helmet, they say that they will email you re what to bring and I bet they tell you to pump up your tyres.
    Don't remember having to have a helmet for the Ian Luff driving course I did years ago and since were doing basic skid pan stuff, I doubt we need it.

    Not sure why you will have to pump up your tyres. Looks like VW supplies the cars in the course outline

    Vehicles used: Golf, Golf Wagon, Golf R, Golf GTD, Golf GTI, Jetta, Tiguan & Passat CC
    You know you are getting old when you cancel your order for a 3.6 CC and buy an Icelandic Gray TDI CC instead.

    Just thought. I think The Golf R is rerleased on 12 June and list of cars used includes the Golf R. We might be in for an early look, especially if you have booked the 15 June date at Eastern Creek. I have done the earlybird booking for the 8.00am session

    Adelaide is noted for its many festivals and sporting events, its food, wine and culture, its long beachfronts, and its large defence and manufacturing sectors. It continues to rank highly as a livable city, being in the Top 10 in The Economist's World's Most Livable Cities index.

    Shhh! If everyone finds out they'll all want to move there and ruin it.

    Book yourself a cheap ass flight with Tiger and get to a course - it'll still be cheaper than paying for a course at Mallala.

    BTW, the Sydney courses are almost all booked out, whilst the rest of capitals have plenty of spaces.
