• OneRaceway EOI

    One Raceway, Goulburn

  Yes, it's happening! 

  One Raceway (aka Wakefield Park) is coming to life. Whilst we don't have confirmation of the exact date that the track will re-open..... Our original booking of August 25th is not possible. Once we have a confirmed date we will communicate this to everyone.

  Whilst we get the finer details worked out with One Raceway, we would like to gauge interest in attending.

  The level of investment has necessitated a significant increase in the cost of hiring the track. 

  We expect entry costs per driver to be $350. This does not include your Motorsport licence (Day licence or annual options available) or timing equipment (~$30).

  We will be running solely in the traditional clockwise direction for our return to the track. 

  Please register to confirm your interest. There is no payment required, nor does it mean you are guaranteed a spot. An official event with additional registration requirements will be announced once we have confirmed all details for the day.

  We are excited to announce our 3rd driver training session for the year: The Skidpan at Sutton Road Driver Training Complex, Sunday 3 November 2024. 

  For those that aren't familiar, the skidpan is a slippery circuit that replicates driving on snow/ice or hitting a patch of oil. It's smooth concrete, water is applied to provide the slide..... Vehicle speeds are less than 50 km/h and as the circuit is so slippery, there is very little wear on tyres and very low risk. The fun factor is extreme as you attempt to control your car with little or no traction! 

  The Skidpan will help you to better understand your vehicle and car control in general, including what to do when there is understeer or oversteer. 

  This is a great learning event for everyone.  We strongly encourage new drivers to come and learn more about their vehicle and for experienced drivers to refresh their skills and of course, have fun! Skills learnt on the skidpan are invaluable and can save lives.

  Some important things to note:

  • No burnouts or black marks to be left on the skid pan
  • Suitable clothing and appropriate footwear (no thongs, open-toed shoes, or high heels).
  • There are noise limits…..Vehicles must not exceed a noise limit of 85db at 30 meters. Any road registered vehicle *should* be less than this.
  • Participants are solely responsible for any property damages.
  • There will be more experienced members there to help out. If you would like some assistance please come see us after the briefing.

  If you would like to take passengers you are more than welcome to.

  There will be light refreshments and tea/coffee facilities as well. We recommend bringing lunch with you however, if you need to buy lunch Queanbeyan is only a few minutes drive away....

  *Drivers briefing will be at 8:15am sharp. The fun begins at 8:30*.  

  NOTE: We've put together special pricing for everyone. $120 ($140 for non-members) is per vehicle with multiple drivers allowed, for the ENTIRE day. Places are limited, register early to avoid disappointment!

  We are looking forward to seeing you there and most of all have FUN!

  The year 1985 was a special one for some. 

  For a select group of Ken-Behrens, this marked to the formation of the BMW Car Club ACT. From humble beginnings we have grown into a bigger group of enthusiasts and broadened the scope of what we as a collective can achieve.

  
  

  
  

  40th Anniversary Celebrations

  Whilst this is still a little over 3 years away, it will be an EPIC celebration that will need some serious planning. We are inviting you to be part of it and welcome any suggestions.

  Dates are not set in stone, merely a placeholder to get the ball rolling. 

  There will be local celebrations however, we intend to put together an itinerary for the trip of a lifetime to Munich, the birthplace of BMW.

  Some of the not to be missed activities:

  - BMW Welt

  - BMW Museum

  - BMW Group Classic

  - Tour of BMW Classic Museum

  There's plenty more to see and do in Germany and we intend to make the most of such an amazing trip. Some ideas so far:

  - Munich tours

  - Neuschwanstein Castle

  - Track time at Nurburgring - Think: The BMW M Nordschleife experience or similar

  - Hockenheimring tour

  - Autobahn drives

  - Visit to the Augustiner-Bräu brewery in Munich. Established in 1328, it is Munich's oldest independent brewery.

  - Zugspitze

  - Porsche and Mercedes Museum tours

  If any of this interests you, please register your interest.
