• The Business Ethernet products are superior copper based services (leveraging unused phone lines) with availability nationally, but limited by exchange availability and distance from the exchange. This product may also be promoted as SHDSL, Mid Band Ethernet or Ethernet over Copper (EoC) within our industry.

This is a private event which will result in a lot of fun track time for all involved with the focus on enjoyment.

The track will be prepped the day before by IWMAC, so we should have an excellent surface to run on.

For those members who came to the MR Tuning meet, you would have seen the unmissable F1 car sitting in the workshop.

The August Club meeting was held at the Yatala headquarters of MR Turning. We were treated to a vast array of automotive excellence including Formula 1, Formula 3000, Formula Ford, McLaren, Ginetta, a custom Ford GT40 and more Porsche than you could poke a stick at just to name drop a few!

In fact the cars were that good that we had trouble prying members away from them to come and eat free food - proving the point that a way to a man’s heart is exotic race cars and not food!

MR Tuning has a wide array of expertise from bespoke ground-up builds to custom engineered parts to servicing your daily to the best vehicle set up in south east Queensland. MR Tuning extend their extensive service options though Premium Track Days which give you face to face access to race engineers and professional race drivers like Warren Luff at Queensland Raceway. The next day is being held on 2nd September so keep your eye on their Facebook page for details.

The Club would like to thank Michael, Dan and Tim for hanging around to keep their doors open for our viewing pleasure.

If you would like to take advantage of the Club Special or have any other questions, give the MR team a call on 1800 058 700

A great day of racing on Saturday for TimeAttack.com.au Lakeside International Raceway Round 4. Air was cool and sun was warming the bitumen and it was the best conditions seen at the event all year.

Terry Ayres had the biggest news as he finally got the highly sought after HOLY GRAIL time of a sub 60sec lap! Well done mate, we're all super proud of you. Wear that sticker with pride because you truly earned.

Hannah Taylor also beat her old PB by over half a second and made it into reaching distance of the Holy Grail with a 60.8.

Jason Keen followed Hannah into the 60sec bracket in the Monkeen Motorsport STi, also getting a 60.8 and improving by half a second thanks to the assistance given by fellow club member Malcolm Clark.

Mike Wittkopp was able to get a 62.7 which he was very pleased with. Matthew Martin smashed his old PB by 1.2secs and got a 63.6.

Great job by all, and we'll be seeing them at the next round of Time Attack held at Queensland Raceway on the 27th of August.

The Club holds an annual Motorsport Cup and 2015 is starting to look close at the top!

The scoring is nice and simple, the highest total of points with a maximum of 10 rounds will be the winner of the cup. All CAMS and AASA events count.

With over half they year gone, Mick and Jason are fighting it out at the top, but the real action is back in the pack for the minor placing. There is not a lot of room from 3rd all the way back to 10th and with only a few classifying events left for the year it will sure to be a close finish!

WRX Club Motorsport Champion will be announce at the Christmas Party. Check out the forum for more details
