We've been invited to join the Impreza WRX Club of Queensland to join them for a coffee and cruise over Mt Nebo. For full details and tickets, check out their event page!

Important: This event has been postponed to the 21st due to weather.    Wrap up the day with a social cruise! Come join us for dinner and a scenic drive through the mountains and by the sea. We'll be starting the evening at 7:30pm with dinner at the Samford Hotel, then heading through some great roads and sights along Clear Mountian. We'll be ending the drive at Baskin Robbins Clontarf for dessert! So come and over for a good feed, good friends and a great drive! You can view the route for the day at the link here: MAP LINK General Notes for the day  This is a CRUISE not a Rally, there are no prizes for being the first one there, you still have to wait for them to cook your lunch after all. All attendees should adhere to all road rules and obey all signs, speed limits and drive to the conditions. Please be respectful when leaving our starting and end points, your behaviour reflects on us as a Club. Parking at the Samford Hotel is limited, so we intend to park across the street near the doctors office and other closed shops. We will organise before we head off so we can leave together. The cruise will be less technical than other routes, but still has some tight roads with sharp corners; keep yourself free from distractions and generally stay switched on. Along Clear Mountain is a somewhat populated area with a hotel. Please drive accordingly and respectfully near these residences. Be courteous to everyone else on the cruise. Just because you can make that yellow light or intersection doesn't mean the car behind you can. The roads on our cruise are winding and fun to drive but also be aware that road conditions can change very quickly, especially after rain. Take it easy and keep a safe following distance. Maintaining a good following distance also allows for more flowing traffic through the winding sections of road. You dont want to be driving home in a tow truck. Hope to see you there!!

End of Year 86 BRZ Cruise! The year is coming to a close again, so lets celebrate it with a cruise! Join us for one of our biggest social events of the year and a great way to meet other club members. This year, the cruise will be heading off from Woodford and going along the scenic and twisting mountain roads of the Sunshine Coast. Our midway stopping point will be at Philip St in Kenilworth for us to regroup and have a stretch before heading off to the lunch destination at Baringa Tavern. A Google map route for the cruise is available here (Please note this may be subject to change): https://maps.app.goo.gl/e5TUnVHsr31umC8f6 The route for just the second half is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/reM5v4z6D8ccicZo7 This is a great opportunity to meet many members of the club, take photos and have a great day out! If you're intending to come, please get a free ticket down below to help up keep track of numbers. If you're taking some photos, send them to us so we can feature them on our website and socials! Things to note on the route The route has been chosen to be a fun mix of mountain roads that should prove to be an exciting drive. There are a few things that should be noted for your safety and enjoyment: 1. E85 USERS: BE PREPARED! This is an approximately 160km route and we dont you to miss out on it. You know your cars best, so plan to fill up before or make provisions if you need to. It's better to play it safe than end up stuck out there! 2. While we aim to have space for everyone at out starting and stopping locations, these are still public car parks which may become full. If you cannot find a space in the designated area, please just find one close by. 3. Please have a copy of the route with you. We want you all to enjoy the cruise and dont want anyone to end up getting lost on the way. Don't just rely on the car in front of you, as they may be just as lost as you! 4. Speed cameras and police are known to patrol these roads, please keep that in mind. 5. There is currently some rain predicted after the cruise, however South east Queesland weather can change without much warning. Please drive to the conditions and be safe! General Notes for the day  This is a CRUISE not a Rally, there are no prizes for getting to the venue first. All attendees should adhere to all road rules and obey all signs, speed limits and drive to the conditions. Please be respectful when leaving our starting and end points, your behaviour reflects on us as a Club. Some of the roads on our cruise are winding and fun to drive, but use common sense and stay safe. Don't drive harder than you or the conditions can handle. Once again, it's a cruise, not a track day! Take it easy and keep a safe following distance. Maintaining a good following distance also allows for more flowing traffic through the winding sections of road. When turning at an intersection, wait until the person behind you can see you and where you're going. This helps prevent people from getting lost!   It's looking like a great day out, so we'll see you there!!!

Please note that as of Wednesday 22 October, due to a scheduling conflict, Lakeside Raceway have had to move our session to be 25 minutes earlier. The times listed on this page have been updated to reflect this change. If you purchased a ticket before the times were moved, you will have received an email with extra details.   We are back again at Lakeside Raceway for Happy Laps.

However, wrist bands for anyone running in our session will be given out separately by club board members. 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 8:30 (e.g. you don't need to arrive at 7:00). 8:20 to 8:45am - Wrist bands: QLD 86 BRZ Car Club board members will issue wrist bands after you have watched the Lakeside video briefing.    8:45 to 9:00am - 86 BRZ Car Club Drivers Briefing: This is a briefing just for those attending the QLD 86 BRZ Car Club Happy Laps.
