Volkswagen Driving Experience 2012

[sillywet]

•Heavy braking and heavy steering input (‘Lift off oversteer’ movement)

Obviously refering to the Scirocco. Either that or their Golf Rs are very different from mine.

Finance_Analyst, I live at Taringa, so i've no doubt seen you driving round at some point.

Well i did the Progression last year at Phillip Island & found it totally worthwhile & worth the bucks. Had a great tutor, a V8 supercar driver. Enjoyed & learnt stuff from all the drills (was actually blown away by the handling & braking, though acceleration was slightly ho-hum after my APR tune), then got two laps in the DSG R & 2 in the DSG GTI which were AWESOME, & also the sentiment of all that attended, i'm sure! Not too hard to do 200 down the main straight of the PI GP circuit in these stock VW's...

I'm in for the Evolution course this year for sure!

I'm booked into the Sydney Saturday Evolution course. For $250 (incl discount) I agree that it's good value considering that to get on a track these days means driving all the way down to Wakefield near Goulburn or being in some other car club and owning a racer.

Since I don't own a go-fast Golf nor have the inclination to join a club, this is perfect for me for the convenience of location and VW supplying the Golf R and Scirocco R.

Just opened this morning for all VW owners.

Anyone going?

booked and paid the Evolution course for Sat 2nd June

a while ago i spent $250 for a full day driving course on my own car.

a track day in Sydney costs between $140 (Marulan) to $250 (wakefield with circuitclub) plus wear and tear on my own car.

4 hrs on their cars for $250 is a good deal! won't be worried about reaching 130 degrees oil temp, or waiting until reaching at least 90 degrees before hitting it hard ;p

Nice! Looking forward to kicking your @$$ on the track Nat!

sillywet - no doubt! Although I have seen a few GTI Mk6s in white with detroits in the area... (I am always the one driving slow to save fuel round town!)

I just booked mine for Sydney and used the discount code in the email i got.

I have a mate who doesn't own a VW that is interested in coming along. Anyone know if you can reuse the discount codes? If not, anyone who has one that isn't planning on using it care to PM their code (if all the codes are unique)?

Where did you get the discount code from? I received an email from VW today advising me of the driving experience courses but there is no mention of a discount in it.
