Phillip Island Winter Super Sprint

Sunday 22nd August 2021

   

Welcome to Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for our Winter Sprint event.

We are aiming to run a fun and successful event in the context of Covid-19 new normal. To do that we will need your help. At present due to Government imposed restrictions, we will, by future email, advise as to whether we can do an “in person” Drivers Briefing at the track or hold the briefing via Zoom in the week leading up to the event.

Competition Vehicle Registration

If not already done, a 2021 Vehicle Registration Form must be submitted PRIOR to this event to be eligible for Competition Points.

Competition experience

Due to the complicated requirements for this event, we prefer participants to have experience at Phillip Island and in Porsche Club events for Competition class. Please contact the Competition Director (details below) to discuss your level of experience if you are unsure.

Evidence of prior track experience or satisfactory completion of a high-performance driver training course is a Club requirement for the timed competition classes.

All Competition entrants (NOT Entrée) will require a Dorian transponder to be fitted to their cars for times to be recorded. Please make sure they are properly fitted and charged. Dorians can be hired for the day but must be booked at time of entry. New Dorian units can be purchased from Carly via administrator@pcv.com.au

Entrée Class

Entree Class will be run at Phillip Island. Entree is the ideal racetrack introduction for new members and those who have not competed before. Entrants in the Entrée class get separate sessions of untimed practice. Mentors will be provided from experienced club members. No fire extinguishers or dorians are required. Advanced driver training is preferred. All you need is a Motorsport Australia (CAMS) Speed Licence, an approved helmet, suitable clothing (see Supp Regs) and a roadworthy vehicle. Please note Entrée Class numbers are strictly limited.

Note: if we are unable to deliver our normal Entree Class program due to Covid-normal restrictions we will formulate an alternative program to deliver a Track experience for newer entrants.

Noise Limit

The Maximum Noise must not exceed 95db(A) as measured by 30-metre drive by test on equipment provided by circuit. This is a requirement of the venue.

Garages

Garages can be booked at $75 (GST inclusive) each on entry.

Catering

We expect the Phillip Island kiosk will be open and serving hot food, sandwiches, and coffee throughout the day.

PCV Marshalling Team

If you are available to assist with this event or are new and would like to give marshalling a try, you can register as a Track Marshal through the kiosk entry link below and you will be contacted.  Any queries to the Marshal coordinator via email here.

Open Pit Afternoon Session

If participants’ numbers drop off by mid-afternoon, the Clerk of Course may consider the option of having an open pit from 3:30pm until close at 4:30pm. This open pit session may be declared either timed or untimed.
