Cost of going on a track

[spetz]

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me how much it costs to go onto the track?
And how much does it cost to get a CAMS license?
Can I have passengers, or do they needs a CAMS license too?
Yearly memberships?

Basically any cost for being able to use a track, not including costs for the car that is (ie, fuel, brakes, tires etc)

Thanks

Spetz in NSW a 12mth license is issued at the track (Marulan or Wakefield) and it will cost you $50, you can do as many drive days as ya like for the next 12mths. Not sure what the other states charge

CAMS license you will need to join a CAMS affiliated car club so that you qualify for L2S. You will be looking at $200 - $300 for 12month L2S & club membership.

If your in Vic, you can get a AASA license from Winton for a yearly fee of $50. Allows you to go to Winton, Wakefield Park & a few other tracks. Then there is PIAC (Phillip Island Auto Club I think?) and that is around the $100 yearly I think (don't quote, check website for prices).

With passengers, at CAMS events there will be one session before lunch where you can take people out but that will be it.

On top of CAMS/AASA/PIAC (whatever license you get) there will be a cost for the day (Winton is $160, I have heard some Phillip Island days are up to $550) so that you can get your electronic timing & have insurance paid for etc etc.

Depends on where you are I guess. But in Vic a CAMS S2 level licence is a $90 yearly fee which will get you into any track. There is also an option to get just a AASA licence for $50 but you can only get onto Winton and I think Calder (in Vic, not sure about other states). Also to get your CAMS licence you need to be part of a car club, they range from $40 - about $100 depending on which one you decide to join.

The cost of track days vary depending on who organises it, but usually range from $150 - $250 for most of them. As mentioned there are some that go all the way up to $500 - $600 but they usually limit the amount of people attending to a small amount and often include training of some sort.

So, I need to pay yearly for CAMS license, then yearly for club membership and then additionally at each event?

What is a "car club"? ie, is Ozhonda a car club?
