Zhuhai Track Day Experience?
Wonder if anyone here has been to track days at Zhuhai? I read from the other thread about this Type R Club but few have talked about their actual experience. I'd like to sign up for one while the weather's still tolerable here Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers.

Thanks for the info mate. I'm still on the sidelines about the April event... the price seems reasonable but the logistics seem like a big hassle...

this is the hole point of a track day.
to have fun driving your loved 1 all the way to the track. Just like UK track day. But itis much easyer to get to in UK. If you just ship your car up then you mite as well hire 1 up there. |

Check out a track day I participated in earlier this year in Zhuhai...
http://homepage.mac.com/ichow/Cars/PhotoAlbum49.html It was a lot of fun but expensive and required a lot of maintenance for the M3... |

Thanks--nice ride and looks like you had fun. Would you do this again knowing what you know about the cost and maintenance? And by maintenance I assume you're referring to pads and tires, or did you have to do more?

If I do it again, it will definitely be in the winter, not summer when the brakes heat up much faster and is not quite as bearable when the air con is off. The maintenance is mostly pads, tires, plugs, engine oil, etc. Pretty much all of the consumables need to be replaced afterwards which can be costly in addition to the track rental costs, team of mechanics, temporary license, customs/car inspection, hotel, fuel, etc. |

For the track, you would think to buy performance pads but then it is so costly to do so, you end up using cheap ones to save $$... I forgot what my garage uses, but not definitely brand names like AP or anything like that... |
