If you're able to organize it for sure there will be a few participants from Toyota members.alibaba said:If there is a special track day event (CCT or race) for all the Toyota owners, do u think u will join it?
AE80TypeD said:i hope the previous 2 topics are still in the database, i strongly suggest that u click the little link labelled "Search" at the top of the page, below the ZTH main banner. try to search for the phrases "Track Day" or "Private Track Day" or "Private Session" in the search keywords fields. remember to set ur search scope to only search in "Car Makes/Toyota" subforum. this will save u time and return fewer search results.
if u find the forum, u may understand that we have tried this numerous times before, and u may see the problem that prevented us from having any official Toyota track day till now.
If u refuse to do a search and keep asking (at the risk of being flamed for not doing homework first) OR if u dont get what the problems were, here are a few points of hint:
-commitment
-trust
-procrastination
-$$$
oh, the drama. i admit i dont know u and for all i know u could be someone who has a better line/lobang with SIC or some car club. however i should clarify that both previous attempts have been carried out by considerable SIC veterans and friends. as to answer ur question properly, the answer is:
i cant say for sure until i know the details.
that said, welcome to Toyota ZTH. pardon the cold greeting, there are plenty of other members who will throw the confetti for u. me? im just a realist. nothing personal :)

Do you plan for close session track day "race"?
How many participants that you plan to have?
When it's going to be organized?
alibaba said:From your words, i can feel that the toyota members' 'pattern'. i think i no need to do the searching. Actually i already observed the toyota kaki and compare with other car kaki. From my personal view, i feels that toyota kaki 'kia su', like u said commitment problem, big mouth, lack of motorsport spirit. Let say compare with Honda, there is totally difference. I think $$$ is not the big issue, like last time in batu tiga circuit, honda club can organise the Honda track day and almost more than 40 cars to participate. And now in sepang, they also organised the track day before. They all have the group and racing spirits. For toyota kaki, if u ask them go for Sunday track day, there will say..... oh,my tyres not in good condition, have to change new first..... my absorber oil leaking, my engine got not enough power, my wife or girlfriend not allow me to go track, my car still in workshop..... entrent fees too expensive..... i m outstation.... got this got that........ hundred and thousand of funny reasons. Like last time i asked my fren, one weekend u go to clubbing open 2 chivas, how much is that? but he said track day is too expensive..... last night i 'tiong' people, today i tarik someone gau gau,... when ask him for track day, he just said his car not fast enough . :thumpdown
Toyota people can spend money in ecu, cam, sport rim suspension,6 speeds gearbox....etc, but cant afford to pay a small amount for the track day or race. Why? Therefore, i said the $$$ is not the issue.... They scare be a loser. No first time, where got second time. Driving techniques and experiences is accumulate from real practice. Only theory but no practical is equal to zero.
I know few years MME also got private toyota team, but i dont think got any supporter there but lot of honda supporters. It is shame and disappointed. I think from the SIC side, we got enough cars and give the resonable price, they will welcome us. Why other peoples can but toyota can not...... we have to ask ourselve first. Hope Toyota dont talk loud and do less. Toyota kaki wake up wake up
let's go racing. u hantam me, i hantam uafter track all go "lim chiu"EG9 said:In order to have MAX fun at the lowest expenses and without much hassle organizing track event that come with cold turn out, SIC open track day is the only choice.
I'll be at every open track day session with a few more track regulars, all of you are welcome to join. We can have fun together as well without a close session.
But if there is close session for Toyota members, for sure I'll be there.
Make sure you're regulars in order to learn how to drive properly in track, and try to get some guide from those more experience driver.
Note: It's not necessary to flame other members because they have a few things that they need to consider before go to track and the most important, don't force members to go if they don't have confident.
Alot of thing that they need to consider before go to track, and alot of thing can happen in track or after track session such as:
1. wear and tear of tyre and brake pad.
2. Fuel
3. track fee
4. If unlucky engine may Kaboom as well
5. if unlucky you may involve in accident which will lead to extra expenses and long down time.
6. bla bla bla bla................
That why I'll never force members to bring in their car to SIC but I'll invite them to go together if they are confident with their car and himself.
Not everyone mod their ga to go to track.
You can join some track regular from toyota members on almost every SIC open track day!!!
