Found out about them towards the end of last year.
http://www.wintonraceway.com.au/event-details?event=177 Cost is $35 and you get to take your road going or race ready car on the track, they say you're limited to 80% of the car and driver capabilities, but with a smaller car such as the focus they didn't pull me up once for going all out  I had a ball, got my car out there for 6-7 sessions, keep in mind i went through about 1/4 a tank each session, some less. I checked the fuel usage after a 30min go around and i was hitting 26l/100. Got a 2 lap incar vid when I had a passenger as well: http://youtu.be/5x3An0vxkys Also took one of a friends Swift Sport, little 1.6l beast that is, it just grips and keeps going: http://youtu.be/iaUTeegFhtU And then there was the few cars i took short vids of parking: http://youtu.be/WpaAMOwWdCQ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150501772836073 The next fun day is on the 7th of July and I'm going to be there for sure.

I suggest doing it when your tyers are on the way out, my fronts took a beating, going to have to rotate them now. Breaks held up well, there is only 20ks on them though..

Thanks for the write-up Conrad. It's only a 6 hour drive down to Winton for me so I've put in on the calender for July and I'll hope to make it down there.
I can't believe it's only $35! Were there all manner of cars out there? I know that my A.R.D.C. Member's Track day last week had EVO's, Ferrari's, Porsche's, AMG's, clubman-type cars and an assortment of ricers. Even a deceivingly fast HJ Ute! And the serious one's put on race rubber.

There were several Race cars there, few nice celicas s15s some civics, a hundai excel with a rollcage in it, then there was some kit cars a gt40 ac cobra and a new cobra as well, and then just the every day cars and all the modded ones as well. A few subarus and evos as well!
Can't wait to get my gokart so i can get on the track weekly, and also for this next day to get my car back there, was so much fun.
