On behalf of the MR2 Owners Club of Australia (NSW Branch) Inc I'd like to invite you to consider participating in our bi-annual Advanced Driving Course and Track Day scheduled for Saturday, July 5 at Goulburn's recently resurfaced Wakefield Park track.

The day will be conducted by the highly regarded 5th Gear Motorsport who will provide three instructors. While the program is subject to change to acommodate numbers. it will look like this.

8:30am: All drivers arrive, meet & greet, sign on, safety briefing and days programme out lined

9:00am Break into 3 groups, and head off with instructors to location for training, vehicle safety inspections.
