Join us for a combined track day and interstate challenge at the Wodonga TAFE track.

This is Round 4 of the 2024 NSW MX-5 Club Championship, and is also the 2024 Interstate Challenge with the MX-5 Club of Victoria & Tasmania.

Spectator entry is free and the MX-5 drivers are always happy to see visitors and answer any questions about how to get involved with motorsport.

Below is information supplied by the MX-5 Club of Victoria & Tasmania on 26th September:

This message received 5th Oct:
We have the Wodonga entry system up and running. See below link to the entry on the Vic/Tas website.
 
Just a few notes to mention. When entering:
NSW entrants insert "Guest" for membership number
Don't worry about Attendee #2
Select N/A for radio and first aid
Click "Event notes" although no notes at present
 
Final Supp Regs and Self Scrutiny checklist will be published shortly but will be no more stringent than your normal events. Some other general event information will accompany the Supp Regs.

 

Additional information for regularity drivers.

I have discussed the regularity competition run by the NSW club, and the Vic/Tas club does intent to support a regularity group at this event, with a caveat.

They intend to limit the event to 5 run groups, with that allowing 4 sprint groups and 1 regularity group. If prior to the event closing the number of entrants in regularity is small AND the sprint groups are fully subscribed, they would convert the regularity group to a sprint group.

If that happens, the regularity entrants would be able to either switch to sprint, or to get a full refund.

So if you want to run in the regularity class at this event, it would be best to get your entry in as quickly as you can after entries open, and to encourage other regularity drivers you know to also enter the event.
