Lakeside Happy Laps - 22nd Jun 2025

We are back again at Lakeside Raceway for Happy Laps. Please share with your friends in the Club.

 

In 2025 Lakeside Raceway are only offering Happy Laps on a very limited number of dates and will be running back to back Happy Laps with various different groups (such as us) one after each other on the same day. Our on track session will be no different to normal with the same rules and limits on ticket numbers. The main differences will be the sign on process, start time and the fact that there will be other Happy Laps groups before and after us. If you attended our Lakeside Happy Laps earlier this year (on Lakeside's All Asian Day), it will be similar to this but with far less people at Lakeside and no gate/entry fees. Please note the times and other details listed below:

 

7:00 to 9:00 - Lakeside Registration and Sign on: Lakeside staff will run rolling videos of the drivers briefings every 10 minutes located in the briefing room near the control towers. Drivers (but not passengers) will receive a wrist band from Lakeside staff after watching this video. These video briefings are for anyone attending any Happy Laps session throughout the day and will therefore likely have people from other groups as well. It is recommended you arrive at Lakeside early enough to attend a briefing starting no later than 9:00 (e.g. you don't need to arrive at 7:00).

8:45 to 9:10am - Windscreen sticker and passenger wrist bands: QLD 86 BRZ Car Club board members will issue a windscreen sticker and passenger wrist bands. The windscreen sticker should be placed on the top drivers side corner of your front windscreen. This sticker will be unique to our group and used by Lakeside staff to ensure only people from our group are let on track. Look for the QLD 86 BRZ Car Club tear drop banner near the historical museum building. 

 

9:10 to 9:25am - 86 BRZ Car Club Drivers Briefing: This is a briefing just for those attending the QLD 86 BRZ Car Club Happy Laps. Ensure you have a windscreen sticker, driver wrist bands and passenger wrist bands before this point.

 

9:25 to 9:45am - On Track: You will only be let on track if (1) your car has a windscreen sticker (that is for our group) on the top top drivers side corner of your front windscreen, (2) the driver has a driver wrist band and (3) any passengers have a passenger wrist band. 

 

Driver - Financial Members of the club - $40

Driver - Non-Financial club member - $60

Passenger - $30

 

Note the Club rules for Happy Laps @ Lakeside Raceway, failure to follow these will result in you not being able to attend to future events.

 

1. This is not a speed event - No publishing of lap times, speeds, videos showing laptimes or speeds or descriptions of your mad racetrack skillz yo on social media (this is how the venue can maintain their insurance cover). Failure to follow this rule will mean both you and your post will be removed.
 

2. Helmets and CAMS/motorsport licenses are not required, but a current, valid driver's license is.
 

3. No entry to the track without a wristband for everyone in the car.

 

4. Non-QLD 86/BRZ club members and non-86/BRZ vehicles are more than welcome to join us.

 

5. Overtaking is only on the straights, if not overtaking KEEP LEFT - repeated failure to do so will mean you will not be invited back.

 

6. We do not allow any form of Roll Racing out our events. If you are unable to follow this request you will be removed from the track. Management also reserves the right to refund entries prior to the event if we believe your vehicle is not suitable for our events.

 

7. All vehicles entering the track must be currently road-registered and showing valid registration plates.

 

8. See point 1. This is not a race event, for legal and insurance reasons it is a cruise.
